Spring has finally sprung, and with it comes an exciting new slate of movies on streaming platforms.
If your city is still suffering from some lingering winter weather, stay warm inside with some great new movies on HBO Max.
This weekend, Watch With Us wants to highlight three great movies in particular on the platform that you should be sure to prioritize.
Our first selection is The Devil Wears Prada, which you’ll need to watch this month to prepare for the sequel on May 1.
HBO Max has plenty of hot new movies and shows debuting in April 2026, but there’s only one series that’s dominating the conversation — Euphoria. The Sam Levinson drama is finally returning for its third and reportedly final season, and it features original stars Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schaefer, as well as new […]
‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (2006)
Aspiring journalist Andy (Anne Hathaway) is a recent grad who manages to snag a job as a junior assistant to the editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) — despite having little to no knowledge of the fashion world. In addition to dodging the snobbishness of Miranda’s senior assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), Andy finds herself constantly under fire from Miranda’s barbs and the misogyny of the fashion industry.
The Devil Wears Prada is a timeless comedy and a razor-sharp satire of the cutthroat fashion world. The movie features a foursome of fantastic performances in Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Stanley Tucci, who will all be returning to reprise their roles in The Devil Wears Prada 2. While we couldn’t be more excited for the sequel, we have a feeling it won’t quite be able to surpass the sharp script and iconic performances of the first movie.
‘Alien’ (1979)
While traveling through deep space, the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo is awakened from cryo-sleep by a distress call from an alien vessel. Though still halfway from returning to Earth, the crew decides to investigate the abandoned, derelict ship where they find an alien corpse and hundreds of mysterious eggs. When one of the eggs hatches, a horrific, spider-like creature attacks and attaches itself to one of the crew members, implanting him with the larvae of a bloodthirsty killing machine that won’t rest until all life around it is destroyed.
Six movies, two crossover films and one TV series later, and still nothing quite beats that first Alien movie. Ridley Scott blends captivating outer space sci-fi with haunted house horror thrills and an all-timer monster design in the chilling Xenomorph (based on art by H.R. Giger) to create a film that still manages to scare us to this day. Plus, we’re always grateful for Sigourney Weaver‘s legendary portrayal of Ripley.
‘Twister’ (1996)
Tornado-loving metrologist Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) chases storms for a living, joined by her intrepid though underfunded team of students. When a historically powerful storm starts rearing its head in Oklahoma, Jo prepares to deploy “Dorothy,” a groundbreaking piece of technology that can gather data from a tornado, conceived by Jo’s ex-husband, Bill (Bill Paxton). When Bill meets Jo in Oklahoma to finalize their divorce, he rejoins Jo and her team when he learns that their professional rival, Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes), has stolen their idea for Dorothy.
Twister has everything you could want in a piece of disaster movie popcorn entertainment: exciting action sequences, impressive special effects, high-octane thrills and an aching romance that oozes with quiet yearning. Twister is by no means high art, but it’s a comforting, big spectacle classic with a surprisingly human story. The impressive ensemble cast also includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck and Jami Gertz.
