A new month brings new titles to HBO Max’s ever-changing (and formidable) roster of films. While the streaming service is parting with some notable movies in May — such as “Pride & Prejudice,” leaving May 27, and “Speed,” leaving at the end of the month — it’s more than making up for the loss with critically acclaimed additions, ranging from enduring indie fares to franchise-spanning blockbusters.
Below, TheWrap highlights seven films spanning a wide variety of genres, at least one of which is sure to resonate or encourage you to go out of your cinematic comfort zone.

Stephen Chbosky’s painfully accurate teen indie spawned a plethora of films dedicated to exploring high school angst and mental health, but it arguably did it best, capturing the 2010s zeitgeist with excruciating precision and dominating Tumblr discourse for years to come.

Pointing to your head and saying “Nobody can quite figure it out” is a set-up that only the sturdiest of sitcom writers could resist, and President Donald Trump made it all the more tempting for wisecracking journalists by framing the comment around irresistible “deadline” bait.
Trump’s retweet-friendly comment came at today’s press conference (see video below) in response to Reuters correspondent Jeff Mason’s question, “What is your deadline, if you have one, for China to make progress on trade before you impose the tariffs on the other $325 billion in goods?”
After some evading – and Mason’s repeat of the question – Trump said, “No, I have no deadline.” Then, pointing to his own head, the president continued, “My deadline is what’s up here. We’ll figure out the deadline. Nobody can quite figure it out.”
The “deadline” comment hit too close to home for journos to resist.

Oscar-nominee Melissa McCarthy plays Tammy in New Line Cinema’s comedy Tammy, a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
Marking Ben Falcone’s directorial debut, check out the latest trailer before the film hits theaters on July 2nd.
Tammy (McCarthy) is having a bad day. She’s totaled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint, and instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbor in her own house.
It’s time to take her boom box and book it. The bad news is she’s broke and without wheels. The worse news is her grandma, Pearl (Sarandon), is her only option—with a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. Not exactly the escape Tammy had in mind. But on the road, with grandma riding shot gun, it may be just what Tammy needs.

In his review from the Los Angeles Film Festival screening on Friday (June 21), Variety critic Justin Chang called it, “the sort of relentless, expertly tricked-out scarefest that leaves one feeling happily drained.” Judging by the reactions on Twitter, it was probably a restless sleep for many after the La Film Fest showing of The Conjuring.
Discover why truth is stranger than fiction in these frightening images from Director James Wan’s latest movie - due in the theaters next month.
The film reveals the real horrors lurking within a secluded centuries-old farmhouse in the seemingly peaceful countryside of Harrisville, Rhode Island, bought in 1970 by Carolyn and Roger Perron. However, the couple and their five daughters soon find themselves directly in the path of extreme, yet indefinable, danger. When Ed and Lorraine meet the family and the unnatural enemy waging war against them, they know they are in for the battle of their career…...

I have always liked Rachel Bilson. Back in The O.C. (2003-2007), her character, Summer Roberts, was my absolute favorite along with Adam Brody's Seth Cohen. After O.C. ended, however, Bilson seemed to take a break from television and focused more on the big screen. So when I heard she was returning to TV as the leading lady of a brand new show, I had no choice, but to check it out.
I admit the only encouragement for me to watch Hart of Dixie, at first, was Rachel Bilson. I am usually not into the kind of shows The CW produces, but I thought I had nothing to lose if I gave it a shot. I confess I wasn't particularly excited about it when I started watching it, but I didn't even notice as those 42 minutes flew by. Hart of Dixie is a funny, heartwarming and engaging show. The...

Elizabeth Edwards granted a rare interview to new talk show host and designer, Nate Berkus.
"I had the best time," Berkus tells Zap2it. "We sat for hours talking. We did cover a lot of stuff. She was very, very honest with me, very open. I was in her home."
On the Friday, Sept. 17 episode of "The Nate Berkus Show," Edwards talks about how she reclaimed her life after her son, Wade, died, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and discovered her husband had a child with his mistress.
"I think natural resilience (is something) we all have," says Edwards. "Some of it, I learned after Wade died. That was my really long period of having to readjust to a new reality. Then you incorporate the person who was with you still into your life in a positive way, and manage to live happily and laugh again when you thought you never would.
