What’s available on HBO Max on November 1?

A Clockwork Orange – This Stanley Kubrick sci-fi masterpiece about ultra-violence and free will pops on and off streaming a lot. If you haven’t watched it in a while, probably best to do that now.

Doom – Doom was released in 2005 which was probably too late for a Doom movie to be a hit and too early for a big Dwayne Johnson movie to be a hit. (In the likely event that you forgot, this was a Dwayne Johnson mega video game franchise movie. And it was terrible yet noteworthy.)

Equilibrium – After The Matrix was released, lots of films tried to do that blend of martial arts and sci-fi. Very few were successful but one that almost came close was this 2002 Christian Bale film.

Lady In White – We’d love to tell you what this movie is about but anytime it came on TV in the 1980s we got so scared we changed the channel immediately. Lucas Haas is in it. That’s all we know.

Never Let Me Go – A disturbing, beautiful dystopian love story about a society where we’re led to believe people are bred just to be organ donors. But there’s much more to it. Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield, and Keira Knightley star.

Practical Magic – Bullock. Kidman. Witches. What else is there?

The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Legacy – Though it’s just a few of the Bourne movies, these are certainly three of the best. Even if two star Matt Damon and one stars Jeremy Renner.

The Wolverine – James Mangold’s Logan was so good it almost wiped out the fact that he’d previously made The Wolverine, which was also really damned good, just not as good as Logan.

Unleashed – This is the director’s cut of Louis Leterrier’s 2005 action film starring Jet Li; he plays a trained killer nicknamed Danny the Dog who goes from vicious to passive when he has a special collar on.
