We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
September 5 (2024)
A tight, short procedural about people doing their jobs, September 5 follows ABC's sports crew at the 1972 Olympics in Munich as they find themselves in the middle of a hostage situation after members of the Israeli team are held captive. As they work to figure out exactly what is happening and begin telling the story live, they scramble to use their limited resources to get to the truth.
September 5 is tense, filled with great actors who seem like real people, and a reminder that journalism at its best can deliver truth when no one else is around. It's also a smart look at a moment in history with eerie echoes today.
You can watch September 5 on Amazon Prime Video.
25th Hour
One of Spike Lee's best and most under-discussed movies, 25th Hour follows a man preparing for a lengthy prison sentence in the days after 9/11. In addition to being a remarkable chronicle of the city in the wake of unimaginable tragedy, it's also the study of a man who is reevaluating everything about his life in light of his sentence.
As he spends time with his friends and girlfriend in the hours before he has to report to prison, we come to see the life he's leaving behind and all the choices he made that led him to where he is now.
You can watch 25th Hour on Amazon Prime Video.
Bottoms (2023)
Like a strange combination of Clueless and Fight Club, Bottoms follows two gay best friends who decide to start a fight club at their high school to meet girls and eventually lose their virginity.
As the club moves from self-defense to an excuse to wail on one another, the girls find themselves losing control and struggling to remember what the club was for to begin with. Anchored by two remarkable central performances from Ayo Edebiri and Rachel Sennott, Bottoms is outrageously funny and the kind of teen comedy that we should be getting at least four of every year.
You can watch Bottoms on Amazon Prime Video.

Noel Gallagher Wouldn't Buy His Music Zine. Now, He's an Arts Reporter.
Times Insider explains who we are and what we do and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. Sure, The New York Times's national correspondents in the United States cover 50 states. But Alex Marshall, a reporter for The Times's Culture desk in Europe, covers dozens of countries, which requires navigating more than 40 national governments and dozens of languages. 'There was definitely a learning curve,' said Mr. Marshall, 43, who grew up in Goodmayes, a neighborhood on the fringes of East London, in the city where he is now based. In recent years, he has explored how Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected artists, dancers and pop stars in both countries; looked at how rap music became the lightning rod for Sweden's problems with gang warfare; and investigated when — if ever — looted artifacts will be returned to their countries of origin. He's also camped out in the courtroom for the trial of Kevin Spacey, and attended Ozzy Osbourne's last gig in Birmingham, England. 'I don't think you could do this job unless you love every single culture form, or at least find them interesting,' said Mr. Marshall, who spent a decade as an environmental journalist before joining The Times in 2018. (He also traveled around the world researching a book on national anthems.) In a recent interview, Mr. Marshall shared how he navigates his beat, how he keeps up with the news and how he balances checking out cultural events for pleasure with covering them for work. These are edited excerpts from the conversation. Were you always interested in culture? I've always loved music. I started my own music fanzine as a teenager, which was an excuse to interview bands and get free CDs. I used to sell that in dingy music venues around London for a pound. Noel Gallagher refused to buy a copy, though he signed it, so I sold it to the person next to him for 10 pounds. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
