Vintage Films Prove To Be Max Highlights In February
by Erik Amaya
While this January feels like the forever month, February is on the horizon. As proof, Max has sent along its list of films and programming coming to the service, and while it is filled with live sports and a number of shows from the Warner Bros. Discovery constellation of networks — and special selections of films and shows to celebrate Valentine’s Day — our eyes immediate focused on the bevy of wonderful vintage movies debuting or returning to the platform on the 1st of the month. Chief among them, Mrs. Miniver, a powerful film set and made during World War II. Greer Garson stars as a woman trying to keep her family together as Great Britain faces the German threat and the men not already in the military prepare to help with the Dunkirk evacuation. Walter Pidgeon also stars as her husband while Shadow of Doubt‘s Teresa Wright also appears. The film won six Academy Awards and while it might be a little melodramatic for modern audiences, each win was well deserved.
Other older films worth watching include the 1949 version of Little Women, the absolutely amazing Mildred Pierce, and Martin Scorsese‘s Taxi Driver. More recent films worth checking out: The Host, Dredd, and the now-25-year-old martial arts classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Of course, these are just our picks for the month.
