Below, we break down the top 20 films you can stream on HBO Max.

Sinners (2025)

Sinners is unlike any other vampire movie that has ever existed—it is unequivocally in its own league. Under Ryan Coogler’s daring vision, the film draws parallels between the mythological creatures and the bloodsucking spirit of a nation that uncritically compels racial violence, cultural assimilation, and religious indoctrination. Michael B. Jordan stars in the dual role of Smoke and Stack, twins and World War I veterans who decide to move back to their Mississippi hometown to open a juke joint.

Sinners will be available to watch on HBO Max starting on July 4.
