Gurney looking at Paul in Dune: Part Two.

May was another quiet month for science fiction lovers on Max with one big exception. Dune: Part Two arrived this month, and it's not only the top sci-fi film of 2024 -- it's one of the biggest hits of the year as well. Now, for the first time anywhere, Max has both of the modern Dune films, as well as the 1984 adaptation by David Lynch.

Beyond that franchise, we're also putting a spotlight on War for the Planet of the Apes and Inception this month, as both are rightfully regarded as some of the best genre films of the century. The rest of this list is also pretty impressive, as you'll see when you look over our roundup of the best sci-fi movies on Max.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
