Looking for a last-minute gift idea for family or friends who love movies, TV shows, and streaming content? An excellent idea is to gift access to Starz. Don’t forget yourself, either — you could always gift a subscription to watch your favorite movies and shows! Starz has a limited-time special offer that drops the price of a new subscription for its streaming service down to $3 per month for the first three months. Normally $9 per month, that’s an incredible $18 in savings during your first three months. It’s also your last chance to catch fan-favorites before they leave Starz, like Elf, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and Jumanji: The Next Level. The special offer won’t be available long, so take advantage while you can!

In addition to excellent movies — like Bad Boys for Life, Spiral: From the Book of Saw, The Equalizer 2, Matilda, Bloodshot, and many others — you can also catch a host of high-production, obsessable TV shows on Starz. Exclusives include the Power series, Heels, Blindspotting, P-Valley, American Gods, High Town, and beyond. In fact, Starz is one of the best streaming services for lovers of both movies and TV shows, original productions notwithstanding. We’ve even put together some lists to help you find the best shows on Starz, as well as the best movies on Starz, all streaming now.

Starz is available for streaming on nearly all devices, from computers, tablets, and smartphones to smart TVs and streaming devices. The

list of support devices

is quite long, and even includes game consoles like the Xbox One and Xbox Series. That also makes it incredibly easy to gift as you don’t have to worry about your family, or friends, not having a compatible device.

What’s more, being able to watch all those movies and TV shows on the go will be a super-convenient and enjoyable experience if you’re traveling for the holidays. Whether you’re taking a long road trip, bus ride, or flying, you’ll always have something to watch. Thanks to the new deal, which drops the price of your first three months, there’s no reason not to subscribe. Head on over to Starz and sign up now. You can always see your next billing date from your account in the Starz app or website — under My Subscription — so it’s easy to change anytime. It’s just $3 per month for your first three months, but the deal won’t be available forever!

Your guide to the best movies on Max this March
New to Max? Here are the top movies to start with
Timothee Chalamet in Dune Part 2

Now that HBO Max has rebranded as Max, it's the right time to get acquainted with all of the great movies to watch on the streaming service. In addition to large portions of the Warner Bros. catalog, it also has tons of seminal, classic films, as well as plenty of foreign releases. Because the catalog is so big and rich, there are about 250 titles that could go on this list. There's a wealth of options to choose from whether you're into action movies or comedies, and you shouldn't feel limited by the selection below.
Max is, in my estimation, the best service to turn to for a complete history of cinema. The streamer doesn't have every great movie, but it has more than any other streaming service, and it's been crucial in filling in some blindspots for me.
Instead, you should treat it as a jumping-off point of HBO Max movies, which will hopefully allow you to explore many of the titles that didn't quite make the cut. Max has great movies in every genre and from every period of film history. This is just a sampling of the best movies on Max. And if you're looking for more Max content, we've rounded up the best shows on Max to watch right now.

March streaming guide: The best Netflix shows to enjoy
Binge-worthy Netflix series you don't want to miss
Bojack Horseman and Princess Caroline

TV may not be peaking quite the way it was a few years back, but there are still more than enough shows out there to keep you busy. After Netflix emerged on the scene and revolutionized how we all watched TV, it was joined by a huge swath of competitors determined to take advantage of the streaming boom. All of those competitors have great stuff to watch, but Netflix is still many people's hub for all things TV. Even within the streamer, though, it can be difficult to figure out what the best shows on Netflix are.

As the very first streamer, Netflix has a pretty strong hold on my imagination about what streaming TV should be. And given the long list of great titles you'll see below, it's clear that you could watch Netflix shows for several years without running out of interesting things to check out.
