Each month, the top streaming services — HBO Max among them — give their selection of movies and TV shows a much-welcome refresh, so that subscribers always have something new to watch next. November 2026 is jam-packed with new streaming options on the HBO platform, whether you're into dramas or documentaries, buzzy biopics or one of the funniest comedies of the year.
That sprawling movie selection means that deciding what to watch can quickly become overwhelming. That's where Tom's Guide comes in: We've done the dirty work, sorted through this month's film additions, and narrowed the pool of possibilities to five acclaimed flicks, all of which earned 90% or higher on Rotten Tomatoes.
From an Anthony Bourdain bio-drama to a Judy Garland-led holiday classic, here are five new to HBO Max movies we think you should check out this November.
It's the most uncomfortable dinner party since Michael and Jan fought over plasma TVs and multiple vasectomies on "The Office."
Written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack and directed by Olivia Wilde — who's had a great 2026 so far, what with "The Invite", "I Want Your Sex" and "Behemoth!" — this swinging sex comedy centers on a struggling, sexless married couple, Joe (Seth Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), the latter of whom decides to spice up the duo's weeknight by having their foxy, free-spirited upstairs neighbors (the excellently named Piña and Hawk, played by Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton) over for dinner.
Taking place in real time over the course of the evening, " The Invite " tracks as the quartet's initial awkwardness lightens up thanks to a passed-around joint and flowing wine.
