Max brought us another wave of fresh movies in October 2024, predominantly classic horrors from the past like A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and Misery (1990), in addition to Ti West's most recent slasher, MaXXXine (2024). While its November 2024 schedule packs a number of Christmas favorites, four films with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes have caught my eye.

Coming straight out of the '90s, my recommendations for November 2024 have been deemed cinema classics spanning crime, sci-fi, comedy, and westerns, all worthy of a place among the best Max movies.

Not to mention that these directors are considered legends in their field, and they'll all be available for you to add to your watchlists on one of the best streaming services in just a few days.

The first drama from the '90s in our list is this biographical crime movie based on Nicholas Pileggi's book Wiseguy - who wrote the screenplay along with Scorsese.

He settles into a life of luxury very quickly but is unaware of the harm he causes to others, ultimately leading to his downfall. Scorsese's mob drama packs a cast of his frequent collaborators, including Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and The Sopranos' Lorraine Bracco.

Among the crime, sci-fi, and comedy on our list, Clint Eastwood's Western movie from the early '90s is coming to Max in November 2024, starring Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris. Aging outlaw William Munny (Eastwood) takes on one more job when two cowboys attack sex worker Delilah Fitzgerald (Anna Thomson). Workers at her brothel post a reward for their murder, which frustrates Sheriff Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman), who is very anti-vigilant. When word of the reward gets out, two groups come forward to collect the money, but not without colliding with each other and the town's sheriff.
