Recommendation: 10 Lionsgate Movies to add to your Movies Anywhere


Lionsgate finally joined Movies Anywhere. It honestly feels like hell froze over but maybe this is a competitive move against the looking Paramount / Warner Brothers merger.

For the uninitiated, Movies Anywhere is a locker system that was preceded by Ultraviolet. The benefit of a studio being in Movies Anywhere is mainly for consumers. If you purchase a movie on any of the following participating retailers like Fandango Now, you can watch that same movie on a different retailer's service like iTunes. This is really great when one service has a movie on sale. It means you don't need to lock your digital movie collection in one retailer. 

Example: If you bought "Marty Supreme" (A24) on iTunes, you would NOT be able to watch it from your Amazon Prime Video library. If you bought Pixar's "Hoppers" on Fandango No, you'd be able to watch it on Google Play Movies.

Paramount and MGM are the largest holdout now but there are still some smaller studios like A24 and Neon that I would gladly welcome to the party.

Here are 10 Lionsgate movies that should go into your Movies Anywhere collection.


Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair
Yes this movie is very long but if you haven't seen the uncensored Crazy 88 fight scene, you really should.

Wind River
Before Taylor Sheridan became a huge part of Paramount's TV universe, he was making very good movies like Wind River. This is such a solid thriller.

Hell or High Water
This is another Taylor Sheridan written movie that really showcases a good story and layered characters.

The Gift
If you enjoy a solid punch to the stomach twist at the end of a movie, this one might be for you. It feels like a Korean revenge movie.

Sicario
There really was not a need for a sequel. This one gets better with every watch.

Paddington
Paddington is pure joy. This is movie is the antidote to dread in life.

Django Unchained
This is a very good Tarantino movie. Who doesn't love a racist getting their comeuppance?

Dredd
Is it like the Raid? Sure. Is it still a great action movie with amazing visuals? Absolutely

The Cabin in the Woods
I revisited this one after quite a bit of time passed and its clear to me why it was loved by critics.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day
One of the best examples that a sequel can actually be better than the original. This movie still holds up with solid themes about AI and how self-destructive humans are.
