When Peacock joined the streaming wars, it claimed some of the most-watched series from across streamers including The Office, Parks and Recreation, and The Vampire Diaries. Since its launch, the streamer has dropped a few buzzy original series of its own including the true crime masterpiece A Friend of the Family and the limited series Angelyne, but just in case you didn’t know in the library of show options, Peacock is also home to some of the best movies you’ve ever (never?) seen, from Bombshell to Baby Mama.

Here are the 41 best movies available to stream right now on Peacock.
