Child's Play (1988)
- The movie that lit the fuse arrives on September 1
Long before it was a hit series, Child's Play was the kind of horror movie that had fans jumping in their seats. The 1988 movie about a doll that becomes possessed by the soul of an evil murderer was utterly unsettling and fabulously funny. The doll was supposed to be a child's best friend, but trapped inside the innocent-looking poppet was the soul of a killer, bent on continuing his wicked ways. The movie spawned several sequels, and even after all these years the franchise keeps rolling with a TV series, Chucky.
Forrest Gump (1994)
- Forrest Gump arrives to the Peacock library on September 1
Who can forget Tom Hanks' famous line, "Life is like a box of chocolates," from Forrest Gump? The Best Picture-winning movie follows the story of a man with an IQ of 75 who implausibly ends up witnessing some of the greatest moments from the 1950s through the 1970s. The heartwarming tale still holds up as as modern classic and will always be one of Hanks' best performances.
Get Out (2017)
- The mind-bending horror movie arrives September 1
Jordan Peel's 2017 horror hit Get Out delivered more than thrills and jump scares to audiences. The psychological thriller made people think about the story long after the credits rolled. The story follows Daniel Kaluuya's Chris, visiting his white girlfriend's parents for the first time. On the surface they seem normal enough, but something's not quite right about the family and their circle of friends.

The 2001 sequel, The Mummy Returns, is also debuting on September 1.
