Need some streaming movie recommendations this weekend? Try watching these great Peacock movies starring Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Bruce Willis, and more.
With the 2024 Oscars now just a memory and college basketball about to go into overdrive with March Madness, this weekend feels a bit empty in terms of movie choices. Of course, you could see Kung Fu Panda 4 or Dune: Part Two in theaters again, or you can stay at home and see what’s streaming.
If you do, there’s a great selection awaiting you at an unlikely streamer. Peacock has a killer lineup, with the Oscar-winning Oppenheimer now streaming. But there are other movies, most neglected and woefully underrated, that are worth your time, too. One is an epic crime drama, another is a campy comedy from the ’90s, and the final recommended movie is a modern Western starring a former Batman.The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Long before I’m Just Ken and Barbie, Ryan Gosling mostly played it straight, starring in a series of dramas from 2006 to 2012 that cemented his status as one of the best young actors of his generation. One of those movies from that era that tends to get overlooked is The Place Beyond the Pines, a crime drama from director Derek Cianfrance with a supporting cast that includes Eva Mendes, Bradley Cooper, Mahershala Ali, Rose Byrne, and Dane DeHaan.
