The Best Movies and Shows to Watch in February 2026

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) – February 1 on Pluto

Steven Spielberg took over to finish Stanley Kubrick’s emotional movie about a robot who dreams of becoming a real boy. The movie is emotionally devastating and criminally underappreciated classic.

Ex Machina (2015) – February 1 on Netflix

A modern sci-fi classic for movie fans. It’s a small, sleek, and cerebral AI thriller. A small cast, huge existential dread.

Ghostbusters (1984) – February 1 on HULU

Hulu ain’t afraid of no ghosts as they host two movies in the classic sci-fi comedy Ghostbusters. The original 1984 version and the 2016 sequel, Afterlife. The reviews on the sequel are mixed, but the original is infinitely quotable and culturally immortal.

Interstellar (2014) – February 1 on Pluto

A modern classic of hard science fiction movies from Christopher Nolan. The movie has big ideas, bigger emotions, and Nolan turning relativity into a tearjerker. It’s a movie that created an instant real-watchable classic.

Robocop (1987) – February 1 on Prime Video

The movie is a savage cyberpunk commentary on corporate overreach. The acting by Peter Weller elevates it above it’s b-movie feel. It’s lightning in a bottle that can never be recreated, although they tried several times.

Stargate SG-1 (1997) Seasons 1-10 – February 15 on Netflix

A new Stargate show is coming from Netflix, so this is a great time to catch up on the original series. The biggest streamer on the planet is hosting one of the most beloved long-running sci-fi TV franchises ever. Deep lore, strong characters, and serious rewatch value.

The Fifth Element (1997) – February 1 on TUBI

Grab your multi-pass for the strangest, most brilliant, and colorful science fiction movie to come out of the 90s. Pure chaotic sci-fi fun. Colorful, weird, endlessly stylish — and still unmatched in “what did I just watch?” energy.

The Fly (1987) – February 1 on TUBI

Cronenberg remade a classic 1950s science-fiction movie and transformed it into an unforgettable body-horror film. It’s equal parts tragic love story and nightmare fuel. Plus, the practical effects still wreck modern CGI.

The Shape of Water (2017) – February 1 on HBO MAX

Before Frankenstein, director Guillermo del Toro made a modern take on another classic monster movie. It’s an Oscar-winning monster romance that somehow made “fish man love story” prestige cinema. Del Toro magic.

Train to Busan (2016) – February 11 on Peacock

This South Korean import is a relentless zombie thriller with heart. It’s faster, meaner, and more emotional than most Hollywood attempts.
