(Welcome to Now Stream This, a column dedicated to the best movies streaming on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and every other streaming service out there.)

In early-1970s Las Vegas, low-level mobster Sam 'Ace' Rothstein gets tapped by his bosses to head the Tangiers Casino. At first, he's a great success in the job, but over the years, problems with his loose-cannon enforcer Nicky Santoro, his ex-hustler wife Ginger, her con-artist ex Lester Diamond and a handful of corrupt politicians put Sam in ever-increasing danger.

It’s time for a fresh batch of streaming titles, hot from the oven. As usual, I’ve scoured the streaming service landscape to bring you back the goods. In this edition, you’ll find the best Bond movie ever, a ground-breaking horror anthology film, a mind-blowing documentary, a strange slasher flick, a wuxia masterpiece, a water-logged action film, and more.

These are the best movies streaming right now, and beyond. Let’s get streaming!

The Best Movies Streaming Right Now

1. Casino Royale
Now Streaming on Netflix

Release Date: 2006

Genre: Spy Thiller

Director: Martin Campbell

Cast: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Giancarlo Giannini, Jeffrey Wright, Judi Dench

Here’s what is sure to be a controversial opinion: Casino Royale is the best James Bond movie. Yes, yes, I know. I know there are people who think picking any non-Sean Connery Bond film as the best is sacrilege. And I also know that when it comes to the Daniel Craig Bond-era, Skyfall seems to be the favorite. But Martin Campbell‘s 2006 Bond reboot remains, to me, the best of the bunch. The film reinvents Bond from a smooth operator to a blunt instrument – he literally smashes through a wall like the Kool-Aid man at one point. Craig’s Bond is a borderline sociopath – cold, calculated, and very good at killing people. Here, he gets mixed up in a somewhat convoluted plot involving a terrorist (a scene-stealing Mads Mikkelsen) and a poker game. Of course, there’s a Bond girl, played by the always-welcomed Eva Green. And unlike other Bond girls, she and 007 actually develop something close to a real relationship. Action-packed, and endlessly entertaining, Casino Royale is a reboot done right.

For fans of:Batman Begins, Bond movies in general, Daniel Craig running around a lot.

2. Blue Ruin
Now Streaming on Netflix

Release Date: 2013

Genre: Indie Thriller

Director: Jeremy Saulnier

Cast: Macon Blair, Devin Ratray, Eve Plumb

Jeremy Saulnier‘s sophomore effort Blue Ruin still remains his best film. This stripped-down, brutal mix of character study and thriller is like a Coen Brothers movie by way of John Carpenter. Macon Blair plays Dwight, a vagrant who gets word that the man who killed his parents two decades ago is being released from prison. Dwight makes up his mind to get revenge. This kicks off a chain of events that upend Dwight’s life even further, and send him down a dangerous – and often absurd – path. Saulnier makes great use of silence here, and in keeping with that, Blair’s haunted eyes say more than dialogue could. I’ve enjoyed Saulnier’s films after this – particularly Green Room. But so far, none of have come close to capturing the power of Blue Ruin.

For fans of:No Country For Old Men, A Simple Plan, bloody surprises.

3. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Streaming on Netflix March 1

Release Date: 2000

Genre: Action-Fantasy

Director: Ang Lee

Cast: Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and Chang Che

Ang Lee brought the wuxia film to mainstream and art house audiences alike with this gorgeous, heartbreaking epic from 2000. Poetic, mournful and possessed with a breathtaking aura, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is set in 18th China, and follows warrior Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun-Fat) and the woman he loves, Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh). The two have obvious feelings for each other, but have refused to act on them out of loyalty to Yu Shu Lien’s dead fiancé. Elsewhere in the film, a Governor’s daughter (Zhang Ziyi) longs to escape her impending marriage, and has secretly aught herself to be a fierce warrior. These stories, and more, collide across the film, with Lee’s steady, painterly hand guiding it all towards a conclusion that will burn right to your soul.

For fans of:Hero, A Touch of Zen, House of Flying Daggers, avoiding the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon sequel at all costs.

4. Waterworld
Streaming on Hulu March 1

Release Date: 1995

Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Action

Director: Kevin Reynolds

Cast: Kevin Costner, Dennis Hopper, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tina Majorino, Michael Jeter

Waterworld has a bad reputation. Its production was plagued with problems, and it bombed at the box office. But is it really as bad as some people say, or think, it is? No! In fact, it’s highly entertaining. Does it have problems? Oh, heavens yes. The script is uneven, and Kevin Costner‘s performance is bland. But this is a solid post-apocalyptic action flick with exciting set-pieces. Arrow Video recently released a special Waterworld Blu-ray packed to the gills, but if you can’t afford to snap that up, or just don’t like physical media, the film is headed to Hulu! In this epic adventure, the polar ice caps have melted, flooding the planet. A mutated man (Costner) may or may not hold the secret to finding the fabled dry land, but first he has to deal with pirates, lead by a gloriously over-the-top Dennis Hopper. I promise you: Waterworld isn’t as bad as you remember. Watch it and see.

For fans of: The Mad Max Franchise, The Postman, whatever the hell accent Dennis Hopper is doing here.

5. Three Identical Strangers
Now Streaming on Hulu

Release Date: 2018

Genre: Documentary

Director: Tim Wardle

This shocking documentary has a truly unbelievable premise. In the 1970s, three strangers discover they’re long-lost brothers. But that’s not all: they’re also identical triplets. They’ve gone almost their entire lives unaware of this fact, and when they learn the truth, they’re understandably shocked and excited. This kicks off a media frenzy, and the results are charming and amusing…at first. Then Three Identical Strangers takes a dark turn, and grows only increasingly darker. To say anymore would rob this film of much of its impact, but as Three Identical Strangers unfolds, it goes in uncomfortable, unexpected directions that will make your jaw drop.

For fans of: Having their dang minds blown.

6. Tales From the Hood
Now Streaming on Shudder

Release Date: 1995

Genre: Horror Anthology
