NBC’s Peacock – Here are Our Top Movies and Shows
Here are the ten movies and shows you should begin viewing at Peacock:
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein
Travel back in time and see how crossover events were done last 1948. The legendary comedy duo, Abbott and Costello tangled with Universal’s horror icons. In this particular crossover, they intertwined with Glenn Strange as Frankenstein.
Other crossovers include their movie with the Invisible Man, Dr. Jekyll (and Mr. Hyde, and the Mummy, but you should watch the one with Frankenstein first.
Children of Men
What if the world was on the verge of extinction because of a global infertility crisis? If you’re interested in Alfonso Cuaron’s take on this one, hit the play button for the movie Children of Men. Here, Cuaron shows that the populace was divided because of fear and xenophobia.
Cuaron won an Oscar for directing the movie Gravity and Roma. The film stars Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Do the Right Thing
Do the right thing and Watch Do the Right Thing. This movie is very timely to watch this movie in light of George Floyd’s death and its relation to systemic racism and police brutality. Learn a thing or two about the current situation and what you can do about it.
You can also watch other Spike Lee classics like Clockers, Crooklyn, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus, and Mo’ Better Blues.

Who doesn’t want a classic? Watch Lugosi’s Dracula on Peacock and see his take on this very popular villain. Peacock has a lengthy list of horror classics from the 1930s and 1940s.
Howard the Duck
How about a duck saving the world? Well, it has to be Howard the Duck. George Lucas produces the film, and it is based on a Marvel comic as well.
One of the famous scenes in the movie is Lea Thompson trying to seduce Howard the Duck – an alien and a talking duck. It sounds out of this world, so you better watch at your own risk.
