We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best free movies, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video.

Cujo (1983)

You’ll lose count if you try to name every single movie based on a King novel. Most of these adaptations are on paid streaming services, but not Cujo, which can be found on Pluto TV. Based on the 1981 novel of the same name, Cujo features a kind St. Bernard that transforms into a ruthless killer after a bat bite.

The dog, Cujo, turns its attention toward Donna (Dee Wallace) and her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro), who are stuck inside their car in the blistering heat. Remember: it’s only a movie. 99% of dogs are lovable creatures, but Cujo represents the 1% of evil canines.

Stream Cujo on Pluto TV.

Goodfellas (1990)

For Goodfellas to be the best movie from Martin Scorsese, it must be pretty darn special. Based on Nicholas Pileggi’s book Wiseguy, Goodfellas dramatizes the life of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), a teenager who works his way up in the Brooklyn-based mafia.

Along with Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci), Henry becomes a true gangster, one with money, power, and fame. If the first half chronicles Hill’s rise, the second half depicts his disastrous fall, plagued by drugs, prison, and death.

Stream Goodfellas on Tubi.

A Walk to Remember (2002)

With all due respect to 1999’s Message in a Bottle, 2002’s A Walk to Remember is the first movie that introduced most audiences to Nicholas Sparks. Set in North Carolina, rebellious teenager Landon Carter (Shane West) begins spending time with Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore), the local reverend’s daughter.

Jamie has one rule for Landon: don’t fall in love with her. Eventually, Landon falls for Jamie, who must reveal her secret before it’s too late. Sparks will break your heart and put it back together before the credits roll.

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Christopher Nolan’s personal take on smartphones is surprisingly practical
Christopher Nolan says not owning a smartphone helps him think better

Christopher Nolan has spent his career embracing cutting-edge filmmaking technology while resisting one of the most common gadgets on the planet: the smartphone. The Oscar-winning director behind Oppenheimer, Inception, and the upcoming The Odyssey says his decision isn't about rejecting technology altogether. It's about protecting something he believes has become increasingly rare - time to think.

In an interview with The Telegraph ahead of the premiere of The Odyssey, Nolan explained that he still doesn't own a smartphone, despite living in a world where QR codes, digital tickets, and messaging apps have become everyday necessities. His reasoning, however, is far more practical than philosophical.
