Seven new "Max" films over 90% at Rotten Tomatoes

Max is our top pick for the best streaming service, due in no small part to its deep library of movies And as always, there are plenty of new movies to watch on Max

But some of these films are exceptional, scoring over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes This month, that includes the phenomenal "Mad Max: Death Road to Rage" and three iconic films in the James Bond franchise

So, we're looking for some great films Here are Max's seven best new movies this month

George Miller's fourth installment in the "Mad Max" series, "Mad Max: Death Road to Fury," is fantastic Starring Tom Hardy as "Mad Max" Rockatansky, the film teams up with Imperator Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron, to escape the clutches of post-apocalyptic General Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) The film also stars the barely recognizable Nicholas Hoult as Nyx, the sick "war boy" that Rokatansky takes to heart at the beginning of the film

"Fury Road" maintains the "Mad Max" franchise's commitment to stupendous car stunts and breathtaking violence However, it can be seen without having seen the previous three films It is also perhaps one of the most beautifully shot films of all time, even though it somehow (wrongly) lost the cinematography award to "The Revenant: The Resurrected" Watch it now to prepare for the upcoming prequel Furiosa

"Dr No" may be the first film in the Bond series, but "From Russia With Love" was the first Bond film I fell in love with One of the three James Bond films on this list, "From Russia With Love" features Sean Connery reprising his role as 007 The MI6 agent with a license to kill is tasked with getting Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) out of the clutches of the Soviet Union and into the hands of the British Empire

Of course, it is really the secret organization SPECTRE that is pulling the strings Bond and Romanova must deliver Romanova to safety through the eyes of SPECTRE agents Donald Grant (Robert Shaw) and Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) and the Soviets Gadgets, guns, and girls abound in From Russia With Love Watch it while Max

Without the 1963 sequel Goldfinger, From Russia With Love would probably be considered the best Bond film ever made The film features arguably the best Bond song, Bond villain, and Bond girl, and is considered by all to be the peak of the Bond franchise and perhaps Connery's career It also features the iconic Aston Martin DB5

Once again Connery plays James Bond in Goldfinger, in which 007 is tasked with infiltrating the inner circle of gold bullion dealer Auric Goldfinger (Gert Flöbe) What follows is the film that set the tone for all Bond films until it was soft reset by Daniel Craig Don't miss Goldfinger while you're at it Max

While there are many similarities between 007: From Russia With Love and 007: Goldfinger, director Sam Mendes' Skyfall has a much different tone to the James Bond series If the gadgets, guns, and women theme doesn't appeal to you, just watch "Skyfall The film is a much more sophisticated action drama than the typical campy spy thrillers of the past

Starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, aka 007, "Skyfall" shockingly begins with Bond's apparent death Bond does not die, of course, but his recovery shows that cracks are beginning to appear in his seemingly impregnable armor Craig in "Skyfall" is as great as Demmy Judi Dench as M and Javier Barden as the villainous Raoul Silva, but the moment you hear the opening song ("Skyfall") by Academy Award-winning Adele, you'll be hooked

If you'd like to take a break from Bond but love a gripping thriller, "Eye in the Sky" is for you Starring Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman, and Aaron Paul, "Eye in the Sky" is about the possibility of monitoring and arresting al-Shabaab leaders at a safe house in Nairobi, Kenya The trailer alone will give you goosebumps and leave you wanting more

Overall, the film is well paced and well made Aside from the use of military technology, which may be a bit too advanced, the film has no weaknesses Where "Eye in the Sky" excels, however, is in its examination of the realities of modern warfare, particularly the drone strikes and the collateral damage that too often follows

This documentary film focuses on John Chester and his wife Molly as they attempt to leave their urban lifestyle behind As part of their efforts, they purchase Apricot Lane Farm in rural California Their goal is to create a farm where they and nature can live in perfect harmony

Of course, things don't always go according to plan, especially when nature itself plays a large part in the scheme But despite the trials and tribulations, the overall tone of the film is uplifting, and it functions more as educational entertainment than a serious real-life drama If you're looking for a break from the everyday, this documentary is clearly different from the other excellent films released on Max this month

"The Pink Panther" is of course an iconic film However, underrated by comparison is "A Shot in the Dark," the second installment in the "Pink Panther" series Whereas the later sequels have fallen short of the original film, "A Shot in the Dark" arguably surpasses it

In A Shot in the Dark, Peter Sellers reprises his role as Inspector Jack Clouseau In this film, he is tasked with solving the mysterious murder of two lodgers, but not before causing confusion and laughter
