Several titles led by Humphrey Bogart are expected to arrive on Max, bringing back the old Hollywood feel. They Drive by Night is considered one of his finest films, given its exploration of the noir genre and its sharp dialogue. Its premise revolves around brothers Paul and Joe Habrini (played by George Raft and Bogart respectively) as they run a delivery-truck business in LA and struggle to make ends meet. On one of their long drives down the highway, Paul falls asleep behind the wheel and not only loses an arm and quits business. Determined to continue to go after his dream, Joe gets hired to work alongside his friend Ed Carlsen (Alan Hale), whose wife becomes so enamored by the protagonist that she kills her own husband in the hopes of getting with him. However, Joe doesn't correspond to her feelings and is in turn framed for a crime he did not commit.

'Take This Waltz' (2012)
Available: | December 1, 2024 |
Run Time: | 1 h 56 min |
Director: | Sarah Polley |
Starring: | Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Sarah Silverman, Aaron Abrams |
Before winning an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Women Talking, Sarah Polley helmed this feel-good indie. Take This Waltz has nothing to do with dancing as the title would lead you to assume. It is about a woman torn between the husband she loves and the neighbor she is falling for, and slowly realizing that everything new and exciting might become dim with time. On a plane ride home, Margot (Michelle Williams) meets Daniel (Luke Kirby) and there is an instant spark between them. Yet, the protagonist makes him aware that she is married to Lou (Seth Rogen) and that she would like to keep their relationship platonic. With Daniel coincidentally living just a block away from Margot, she must come into terms with her divided feelings.
