Summary

  • 2023 movies faced box office disappointments, but streaming services offer a second chance for films to find their audiences. The same might hold true for the latest 2024 releases.
  • Streaming platforms not only make it easier to find the best movies but also offer exclusive films made specifically for streaming.
  • The best new movies out, including Society of the Snow and Barbie, are now available to stream and offer a compelling watch with technical brilliance and emotional impact.


2023 was a great year for cinema, as seen by the best new movies to watch on streaming. It must be noted that the 2023 box office hasn’t been great, as several big-budget films have bombed against higher projections and hopes. However, many circumstances can explain those flops, such as bad marketing or strong competition. Nevertheless, thanks to streaming services, new movies are given a second chance at finding their audiences, and 2023 movies are still only just finding their way onto streaming platforms.

It’s now much easier to find and watch the very best movies with streaming services, and some of the films were even made exclusively for streaming platforms. Movies new and old often benefit from being available on streaming services, such as Dredd becoming a Netflix hit 11 years after it was a box office bomb. However, not all 2023 streaming hits were theatrical bombs, as some of the best movies of 2023 are now available to stream too. Here are the best new movies to watch on streaming right now across different platforms.

The Hill emerges as a poignant sports biopic, offering a unique take on the inspiring journey of minor league baseball player Rickey Hill.

The movie captivates with its sincere portrayal of Rickey’s struggles and triumphs, and its emphasis on faith, though overpowering at times, adds a distinctive dimension to the genre. The Hill slightly misses the mark in fully fleshing out the real-life Ricky Hill, but it succeeds in delivering a motivational message about perseverance and belief in oneself.
