Quality over quantity
Best Movies on Apple TV+
The smallest library in streaming. The most consistent quality per title.
Library availability varies by region and subscription. Last updated July 2025.
Apple TV+ has the smallest library in major streaming — and the most consistent quality per title. When Apple makes an original film, it tends to be genuinely good. The platform has produced some of the decade's best films with almost no fanfare.
These are the Apple TV+ films that earn Must ratings — the ones where quality beats volume.

Why Apple TV+ quality beats quantity
Apple funds fewer films but greenlights better ones. The result: almost every Apple Original is worth considering, which is not something you can say about any other platform.
Best Apple TV+ series worth watching
Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show are the essential Apple TV+ series. All three earn some of the highest ratings on Movienot for streaming TV — comparable to HBO's best.
