The 14 Best Movies to Watch on Peacock Right Now (June 2026)

Peacock is mostly known for sports — it's currently streaming the World Cup — and TV shows, and not coincidentally has one of the smallest movie libraries of the major streaming services. However, the movies it does have tend to be new and/or good. You'll find both categories represented on our list of the best movies to watch on Peacock right now. The list features the recently re-released director's cut of Kill Bill; Wicked, which is back on Peacock after a long time away; Michael Mann's cult classic Miami Vice movie; and some more good things to watch between soccer matches. 

We've focused on movies released somewhat recently, as well as some Peacock exclusives that you can't stream anywhere else.

Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

Quentin Tarantino always intended for Kill Bill to be one epic movie, but market forces required him to split it in two when it was initially released. 20 years later, he finally released the single four-hour-plus version that combines both Kill Bills into one, and it's arguably even better. Uma Thurman stars as The Bride, an assassin out for revenge against the people who betrayed her. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair is part of a Tarantino collection on Peacock that includes all of his movies except Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Wicked

Even musical theater skeptics end up loving Wicked, an adaptation of an equally beloved Broadway musical that tells the origin story of The Wizard of Oz's Wicked Witch of the West, who actually isn't evil at all. They love Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's performances as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively; they love its immersive production design and elaborate costumes, both of which the film won Academy Awards for; and most of all, they love "Defying Gravity," the musical's signature song. Wicked: For Good, the second half of the story, is also streaming on Peacock.  -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Miami Vice

In 2006, legendary director Michael Mann reimagined his classic 1980s TV series Miami Vice as a film, and ended up with another classic. This one stars Jamie Foxx as Tubbs and Colin Farrell as Crockett, a pair of detectives investigating a vast drug trafficking conspiracy in their South Florida city. Like all of Mann's movies, it's a moody, stylish tale of obsession and masculine codes, with some of the coolest editing patterns you'll ever see. You'll never forget the way it just drops you into the action in the middle of JAY Z and Linkin Park's "Numb/Encore." It wasn't a hit when it came out, but it's become a cult favorite. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Nosferatu

Visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers reimagines the 1922 silent film Nosferatu as a sumptuous gothic horror fantasy in this Oscar-nominated feature. Lily-Rose Depp stars as Ellen Hutter, a young woman who invites a malevolent presence into her life: Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård, who is unrecognizable behind layers of prosthetic makeup, a big mustache, and a booming Romanian accent), a vampire who wants her for himself. Ellen's husband Thomas (Nicholas Hoult) tries to save her, but will his love be enough to overcome the vampire's sinisterly seductive power? This one's for fans of production design and cinematography. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Hamnet

Jessie Buckley caps an ascendant decade with her Oscar-nominated performance in this emotionally potent historical drama from Academy Award-winning Nomadland director Chloe Zhao. Buckley plays Agnes Hathaway, William Shakespeare's wife, as they grieve the death of their 11-year-old son, Hamnet. William (Paul Mescal) deals with his grief by losing himself in work, which puts a strain on their marriage — but he's working on Hamlet, in which a tribute to Hamnet is embedded. The film earned eight nominations altogether, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Song Sung Blue

Kate Hudson is nominated for an Oscar for her performance in this clever take on on a musician biopic. The film follows Neil Diamond tribute act Lightning & Thunder, which consists of married musicians Mike (Hugh Jackman) and Claire Sardinia (Hudson). They experience all the ups and downs and dramatic moments and struggles with addiction and mental health that big stars face, but on a smaller, more intimate scale. It gives regular people the music biopic treatment, which is pretty unique and cool. The film comes from music drama specialist Craig Brewer (Hustle & Flow). It's "so good, so good, so good!" -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Conclave

Ralph Fiennes stars in this elevated potboiler that turns a papal conclave into a palace intrigue thriller. Fiennes plays a cardinal overseeing the process to select the next Pope after the sitting Pope dies. While carrying out his duties, he uncovers a secret that could tear the Church apart. Conclave is an engaging, grown-up drama from Academy Award-winning director Edward Berger (Best International Film, All Quiet on the Western Front). -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

The Wild Robot

This animated adventure was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards. It's about a service robot called Roz that crash-lands on Earth and ends up becoming the mother of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill. Lupita Nyong'o voices Roz, Kit Connor voices Brightbill, and Pedro Pascal voices Fink, a mischievous fox who helps Roz. It's a lovely animated film about family, found and otherwise, that your whole family will enjoy. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

Asteroid City

Every time Wes Anderson directs a film, at least one critic inevitably calls it "the most Wes Anderson movie Wes Anderson has ever made." That might actually be true of Asteroid City, his latest. Anderson's quirky, dollhouse style is at an all-time high in this story that depicts the fateful events of a teen astronomy convention in a retrofuturistic version of 1955. The sprawling cast features perfectly droll performances from Jason Schwartzman, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Steve Carell, and more, while the meta narrative (Asteroid City is also the name of a televised play within the movie) adds zany texture. It often plays like a live-action cartoon, as Anderson's best movies tend to. -Allison Picurro [Trailer]      

Tár

Cate Blanchett's powerhouse performance and Todd Field's script and keen direction launched Tár into the discussions for best film of 2022, with many major prestigious film critics associations naming it their favorite. It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and more at the Oscars (but didn't win any), further establishing it as a cinephile's favorite. As for what it's about, Blanchett plays an internationally renowned orchestra conductor whose career is disrupted by accusations of misconduct. -Tim Surette [Trailer]     

Freaky

There are plenty of body-swap movies out there, but usually it's a child changing places with their parent, or a kid exchanging basketball skills with Kevin Durant, or Kevin Spacey becoming a cat. How many find a teenage girl trading meatsuits with a serial killer? Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn get to have a blast in this incredibly self-aware horror-comedy from director Christopher Landon, who throws in plenty of high school drama for a genre-blender that actually works. -Tim Surette

M3GAN

At first glance, M3GAN seems like a shlock horror film exploiting everyone's fear of creepy dolls, but the Blumhouse-produced movie is actually a smart, satirical look at artificial intelligence and commercialism, and it's funny, to boot. When the experimental android M3GAN becomes a companion to Cady (Violet McGraw), an orphaned 8-year-old girl, its artificial intelligence develops maternal behaviors to protect Cady at all costs. All costs! The result is an extremely enjoyable, campy horror/sci-fi film. -Tim Surette

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy

Renee Zellweger returns to her iconic romantic comedy role for the fourth time, and first time since 2016, in this straight-to-Peacock original. This time, Bridget is widowed. She's still grieving the death of her husband four years earlier, but she's starting to get back out there. But Bridget doesn't do anything the easy way, and she starts dating a much younger man, Roxster (Leo Woodall), which is exciting but stressful. It's a rom-com, but there's a lot of sadness in it, so be prepared to have your tears jerked. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]

The Killer

Game of Thrones veteran Nathalie Emmanuel gets her action star on in this surprisingly good straight-to-streaming thriller. The special thing about the film is that it's directed by John Woo, one of the greatest action filmmakers of all time, and is in fact a remake of his 1989 Hong Kong film, which starred Chow Yun-fat in the title role. Emmanuel plays a professional assassin in Paris who gets caught up in a job that turns personal. Omar Sy and Sam Worthington co-star. -Liam Mathews [Trailer]
