It is going to be a very musical month on HBO Max. The streaming service has the premiere of the film version of American Utopia, David Byrne’s acclaimed Broadway show. HBO’s version was directed by Spike Lee. Plus, HBO Max will also get the movie version of Cats, and really there’s no more terrifying film to watch this Halloween than this tale of bizarre felines prowling through a post-apocalyptic London devoid of all human life.

If you’re looking for older Hollywood movies, you can choose from The Matrix Trilogy, ShameGalaxy Quest, ConstantineWhen Harry Met SallyEnter the Dragon, or 2020’s Downhill starring Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. Here’s the full list of what’s coming to HBO Max in October 2020:
