History never looked so good as with the 2006 epic 300 starring Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, David Wenham, and Dominic West. 300 takes viewers back in time, giving audiences first-row access to one of the most significant historical standoffs, a battle between Sparta and the Persians.

It's an hour and 57-minute adrenaline ride with battle scenes that pull watchers straight to the edge. 300 was so successful The Los Angeles Times dedicated an article to uncovering how 300 became the biggest film ever to open in March, set the record for the best opening weekend for IMAX screens, and earned the third-biggest opening for an R-rated movie.

Gaining critical acclaim, this Zack Snyder Film became one for the ages and not to be missed. And Max has good news for those who have not seen the showdown, as 300 comes to Max on July 1.

2. Cujo (July 1)

Stephen King, the master of the macabre, has an expansive catalog of adaptations that will thrill and bring viewers chills. When it comes to King favorites, sometimes fans can't pick one. However, one of his most well-known adaptive works was released in 1983. This 1983 release Cujo was a story of any ordinary day shifting into a horrifying encounter when a dog goes mad.

In this film, Donna Trenton and her young son Tad Trenton face an impossible situation as a feral, St. Bernard, holds them hostage. As the action progressively worsens, so do the odds of survival. To catch what happens to Donna and her son, tune in to Max on July 1.

3. Fast Color (July 1)

Films of unfettered bravery and the extraordinary individuals that risk it all in displays of extreme heroism are prevalent themes in cinema. And moviegoers love entertaining fare about superheroes. But even more so, sometimes fans want a break from traditional fare. They crave an out-of-the-box feature, a gem, a diamond in the rough.

Thankfully, now and then, there is a story that breaks the mold of the all-so-familiar. 2018 Director Julia Heart framed such a story in the feature film Fast Color. It's a tale of discovery and acceptance. Fast Color is about a young woman with extraordinary powers. But she must keep them hidden.

Nevertheless, as all things go, nothing stays hidden for long. And the discovery of her super secret puts her on the lam. However, salvation is found in a place where she least expects it. For those who have not seen this original, Fast Color begins streaming on the 1st.

4. Good Will Hunting (July 1)

The late Robin Williams delivered knock-out performances. Comedy was his shtick, and what he did, he did phenomenally. But comedy was merely one genre in which he made his mark. Williams also had a handle on delivering life-changing stories in a manner that made them stick with the viewers. A particular signature film and one of his most touching portrayals is Good Will Hunting. In Good Will Hunting, Williams not only plays an inspired psychologist but also plays a mentor to a young man played by Matt Damon.

In this movie, Williams has some powerful gut-check moments. In one scene, fans see the depth of Williams' acting chops. In the resonant scene, Sean has a heart-to-heart with Will (Matt Damon), reminding him of his growth potential. Sean utters, "I think, maybe I'll knock on the door, and you won't be there."

As Screen Rant notes, this is Sean's explaining to Will that he is still a young kid who has a lot to learn about the world," While cryptic as a stand-alone statement, this one line has a lot to say about the strength of mentorship in a young man's life. But more so, it underscores Williams's passion for his craft in the power of its delivery. Good Will Hunting begins streaming on July 1.

5. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (July 1)

The cinematic summer has gotten off to a sizzling start, and one of the features that have been pivotal in that is the 2023 feature Transformers: Rise of the Beast. However, the story has so much more, and the catalog has seven features. One must watch each to get a complete picture.

In 2009 Michael Bay, who bought the very first Transformer feature to moviegoers, returned with the second installment, Revenge of the Fallen, starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox. Revenge of The Fallen is where viewers meet the Decepticons. And the beloved Sam Witwicky takes center stage as an ally to the Transformers in a face-off against their galactic nemesis, which has found an Earthbound arena.

6. The Meg (July 1)

Several films on the horizon are must-sees; many are continuations of films that pleasantly surprised fans in the theaters. In 2018 fans of shark features were impressed by The Meg, a movie about discovering a massive Megalodon, an apex marine predator.

Those who have seen the feature and all the subsequent news know that The Meg is only the beginning. Meg 2: The Trench is slated for release on August 4.
