The 25 Best Movies On Peacock Right Now (January 2026)

Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, has a large library of films spanning many decades, but some titles stand out as particularly good choices. Launched in 2020, Peacock offers content from NBCUniversal’s brands—including current TV shows and classic movies from the studio—and has expanded to include live sports and other programming.

While Peacock doesn’t have as many movies as some other streaming services, the ones it does offer are generally high quality. This is thanks to its access to a hundred years of films from Universal Pictures and other studios. Plus, you’ll often find new movies becoming available on Peacock shortly after their release.
