The complete list of HBO Max additions for April 2023 is as massive as ever, so here we’ve selected the best titles for fans of historical dramas, British TV, and classic movies to add to their watch list.
Telling the true story of Robin Cavendish, who became paralysed from the neck down by polio aged 28 in the 1950s, the incredibly movie 2017 movie Breathe stars Andrew Garfield, The Crown‘s Claire Foy, Tom Hollander, and Hugh Bonneville.
Tom Cruise leads the cast of 2008’s World War II thriller Valkyrie, which follows the plot by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944 – look out for Kenneth Branagh and Bill Nighy among the cast too!
We also highly recommend Iris from 2001, starring Kate Winslet and Judi Dench as novelist Iris Murdoch. Also featuring Jim Broadbent with Downton Abbey stars Hugh Bonneville and Penelope Wilton, the movie explores Iris’s relationship with her husband John Bayley.
Jodie Whitaker’s feature-length final Doctor Who adventure and last year’s acclaimed David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream are also premiering on HBO Max this month.
