Everything leaving Max (formerly HBO Max) in October 2023

All good things must come to an end: romances, seasons, even free Twitter (sorry, X), etc. That’s never been more true for streaming content libraries. Every month, as more movies and shows are added to each of the many streamers out there, it seems just as much content leaves as well.

Max isn’t immune to this vicious cycle, and in October 2023, a fair amount of films and shows are leaving the service for an undetermined amount of time. From a couple of Exorcist movies to the Dolly Parton classic 9 to 5 to the so bad, it’s good teen soap Dawson’s Creek, there’s a lot of good stuff leaving, so check out the list below and try to watch some of these gems before they leave Max for good (or at least a long while).

Timothée Chalamet in Wonka.

Thanksgiving is here, and if you're household isn't glued to the NFL games on Turkey Day then you should know that there are other options. Max offers subscribers a wide variety of movies to choose from. And since we're assuming that you're spending Thanksgiving with your family, disturbing flicks like A Clockwork Orange are not on the menu.

Our picks for the three best (HBO) Max movies to watch for Thanksgiving are pretty family-friendly, even though the final selection is a bit more mature than the other two films. But between these three movies, you'll find magic, music, romance, and more.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice streaming release date set at Max
Catherine O'Hara, Jenna Ortega, Winona Ryder, and Justin Theroux stand in a cemetery in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is finally heading to streaming. Tim Burton's legacy sequel will make its streaming debut on Max on December 6. Then, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will make its HBO linear debut at 6:10 p.m. ET on December 7.

Thirty-six years after 1988's Beetlejuice, Burton explored the next chapter of the Deetz family in the sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. After an expected death, the Deetz family returns to Winter River for the funeral. Still haunted by Betelgeuse (Michael Keaton), Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) begrudgingly returns home with her estranged teenage daughter Astrid (Jenna Ortega). In the attic, Astrid discovers a model of the town and accidentally gets pulled into the Afterlife. To save her, Lydia will have to face her fears and elicit help from Betelgeuse, the ghoulish demon who tried to marry her when she was a teen.

3 action movies on Max you need to watch in November
Two women battle in Lady Snowblood.

Max has one of the deepest libraries of any streaming service out there, but that doesn't mean it's easy to find what you want to watch. In fact, because there's so much interesting stuff, it can actually make picking any one thing more difficult.

We've decided to do some of the hard work for you by picking three great action movies that are worth checking out this month. These action movies represent a wide swath of what action cinema can be, and each of them is worth watching for very different reasons. We hope you'll see all three, but at the very least, you can certainly find time for one.
