Simply put, Peacock has the movies you want to watch. When we talk about the epic titles available to watch on streaming, the conversation tends toward powerhouse streamers like Netflix and Prime Video. As you can conclude from this article, the NBC Universal-owned platform absolutely should be included. It’s jam-packed with epic films that would easily elevate any movie night.
This should come as no surprise; Universal Pictures is responsible for the very first blockbuster — Happy 50th Birthday, Jaws! — and has shelled out box office-busting, Oscar-caliber films for more than a century. Yes, the content roster here is pretty epic. With exclusive streaming rights to popular titles like Wicked, Peacock is a formidable streamer to reckon with.
I’ll be honest with you, here: Putting this list together was challenging. There’s a large selection of high-quality flicks worth watching on Peacock and I found it hard to narrow down this guide to something manageable. But I did it and the 12 titles listed below are the cream of the crop.
Whether you’re looking for the cinematic spectacle of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, the comedic excellence of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in The Birdcage, or action hits like Jurassic Park and The Matrix, you’ll find a flick worth hitting the Play button on by the time you reach the bottom of the page.
