Peacock is where all the good movies are. I'm not being hyperbolic. Every time I head over to the streamer and scroll through its movie library, I'm pleasantly surprised by the variety of solid titles that pop up.
The NBCUniversal-owned platform offers a wide range of films to please every taste and mood. And if you're looking for Oscar contenders and big-budget blockbusters, those are here, too. You can thank Universal Pictures for that.
Universal brings a whole different sort of clout to the mix, and you see that with Peacock's collection of cinema classics and modern-day bangers. This is what makes the streamer feel like a secret weapon in the crowded streaming landscape.
You could've settled for any number of films on Netflix, Prime Video or Disney Plus, but you came here. That's a good decision, in my opinion.
Don't take my word for it: I put together a roundup of the best movies Peacock has to offer, so you should find a film that fits your interests. Scroll through and check back often for updates.
