All The New Movies & TV Shows On HBO This Month

My Big Fat Greek Wedding will teach you that Windex can cure anything — oh, and also that sometimes your parents won't love who you love, at least not right away. The 2002 hit rom-com stars Nia Vardalos and John Corbett, alongside a host of supporting actors who make up Vardalos' character's overbearing Greek family.

This 2011 romantic comedy, based on the book of the same name, stars Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin as BFFs whose friendship is tested when one of them starts to fall in love with the other's fiancé.

Premiering at the beginning of May, Betty follows a diverse group of young women navigating their lives through the male-dominated world of skateboarding in New York City. It's a kind of spinoff of Skate Kitchen, the hit from 2018's Sundance Film Festival, and focused on an all-women skateboarding group.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the sequel to the 2008 film Mamma Mia. With most of the original cast returning, along with Lily James playing young Donna (Meryl Streep’s character), the musical tells even more of Donna’s story as a young woman. Of course, the music of Abba accompanies the storyline, turning a rom-com plot into an ultra fun dance party.

Starring Brittany Snow, Sophia Bush, Arielle Kebbel, Ashanti, Jenny McCarthy, Penn Badgley, and Jesse Metcalfe, John Tucker Must Die is pure mid-2000s fun. Is there a more era-appropriate plot than a group of high school girls seeking revenge on their serial cheater ex-boyfriend?

This 1998 film stars a well-known cast, including Angela Bassett, Taye Diggs, Whoopi Goldberg, and Regina King, to name a few. The movie follows Bassett’s character, Stella, who, as you guessed it, takes a break from her successful job and tries to get her groove back while on a luxurious vacation in Jamaica.

Only Tom Hanks could play a former FedEx employee (Chuck) stranded on an island who becomes “friends” with a volleyball he names Wilson, and still be America's dad. Hanks was nominated for an Oscar for his role and understandably so. Watching Chuck go through both physical and emotional transformations is heavy-hitting, but also makes for an inspiring story.

If you’re an M. Night Shyamalan fan who also enjoys a good thriller, you definitely need to watch Signs. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Mel Gibson, Abigail Breslin, Rory Culkin, and Cherry Jones, the film has that trademark Syamalan suspense and, of course, a twist.

Jaws is a classic thriller about a killer shark and everyone should see at least once. And it might actually make you thankful you can't go to the beach right now. The movie follows three men as they go on a hunt for a killer shark, and it ends up being as bloody as you can imagine. Starting at the beginning of May, you can also watch Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, Jaws: The Revenge.

La La Land might be most remembered for being the almost-but-not-quite Best Picture winner in 2017, but it's also a musical starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in the lead roles of Sebastian and Mia. The movie follows Sebastian and Mia’s as they navigate their careers and love in Hollywood. There are many other famous faces too, like John Legend and J.K. Simmons.

Constance Wu (Rachel) and Henry Golding (Nick) star in this beloved romantic comedy that is the first major Hollywood movie with an all-Asian cast in 25 years. The movie follows Rachel and Nick’s romance as they travel to Singapore to spend time with his very rich, and very particular family.

The speculation surrounding Natalie Wood’s tragic death continues to haunt and captivate many, but that’s not what HBO’s documentary is about. Natalie Wood: What Remains Behind explores Wood’s life and career through the perspective of her daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner and others who knew her well. Unseen home movies, photographs, diaries, and more will also be shown.

Three-time Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo stars not only in one leading role, but two, playing twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birsdey. According to the official description, I Know This Much Is True focuses on how mental illness affects a family.

Joker won Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar, but it was also a movie some people either loved or hated. Reviews ranged drastically, but there’s still no denying that Phoenix is a talented actor who made even more of a name for himself in the leading role.

Only four years after the hit television series said farewell, the Downton Abbey movie debuted in theaters. The film once again follows the Crawley family and their staff as they prepare for a visit from the King and Queen of England. But, of course, it doesn’t all go exactly as planned.

Starring Milo Ventimiglia and Amanda Seyfried, The Art of Racing in the Rain follows the bond between Formula One race car driver Denny and his golden retriever Enzo. The film isn’t a true story, but there are portions that are based on reality. Warning: you may or may not need tissues for this one.
