Whether you’re an Apple aficionado or simply a cinephile exploring every avenue of film excellence, here are some fantastic films available on Apple TV+ that demand your attention.

1. “Greyhound”: Tom Hanks stars in this gripping World War II story about a naval officer who must lead an Allied convoy being hunted by German U-boats. This high-stakes drama is as much a battle of wits as it is of firepower, and Hanks delivers a typically stellar performance.

2. “Wolfwalkers”: This visually stunning animated feature from Cartoon Saloon tells a bewitching tale of friendship and mysticism set against the backdrop of Ireland’s history with wolves. It’s a family-friendly movie that mesmerizes viewers of all ages with its unique art style and poignant storytelling.

3. “On the Rocks”: Reuniting director Sofia Coppola with Bill Murray, “On the Rocks” explores a father-daughter relationship as they embark on a personal investigation that leads to unexpected bonding. It’s a charming and introspective dramedy that showcases Murray’s charismatic if offbeat parenting style.

4. “The Banker”: Based on true events, this film follows two African American entrepreneurs in the 1960s who hire a working-class white man to be the face of their real estate and banking empire while they pose as a janitor and chauffeur. “The Banker” deals with poignant themes about race, ambition, and the American Dream.

5. “CODA”: An abbreviation for ‘Child of Deaf Adults,’ “CODA” is an emotional coming-of-age film about Ruby, who is torn between pursuing her love for music and her fear of abandoning her deaf family who relies on her. This Sundance darling tugs at heartstrings with its heartfelt performances and moving storyline.

6. “Palmer”: Justin Timberlake plays a former high-school football star turned convict who ends up forming an unlikely bond with a young boy from a troubled home in “Palmer.” The film navigates themes of acceptance, redemption, and what it means to be truly courageous.

7. “Cherry”: Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, “Cherry,” based on Nico Walker’s novel, stars Tom Holland as an Army medic suffering from PTSD who turns to bank robbery to fund his opioid addiction. This raw portrayal shows Holland in a dramatically different light than his superhero persona.
