Best Apple TV+ Movies

Apple TV+ is my favourite streaming service. While it may not have an extensive catalogue compared to Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime, I think the quality is better and has released some of my favourite TV shows in the last five years.

I say TV shows specifically because, for whatever reason, their movies are more misses than hits and I don’t know why. I’ve gathered all of the feature films on Apple TV+ and their IMDb score to see what’s actually worth watching. You can see the table below or read short synopsis of each movie below the table.

I disagree with some of the ratings. I enjoyed Fingernails and All of You which were rated 5.8 and 6.3 respectively, while I wouldn’t have rated Cha Cha Real Smooth as high as 7.2, nor Tetris at 7.3. CODA is fully deserving it’s IMDb score of 8.
