Convicted murderer Robert Durst has been dead for over two years, but as HBO said in its promotional campaign for The Jinx: Part Two, “He’s back.” The six-episode continuation of The Jinx premiered earlier this month, and it’s near the top of the list of the most popular shows on Max. Despite Durst’s death behind bars in 2022, there’s still a lot of interest in this case and in this show because The Jinx helped put Durst away when it premiered in 2015.

The Jinx is only one of the shows fueling the rise of true crime content on HBO and Max. The genre was already popular, but now Max is reporting that it’s the top category out of all of the unscripted shows from HBO, Investigation Discovery, and more.

Now that House of the Dragon is over, it can be tough to justify that Max subscription. If you weren't watching the Game of Thrones prequel, you may have subscribed for any number of other reasons. Regardless of exactly why you decided to pay for the streamer, though, it can be hard to feel like you're getting your money's worth out of it.

What you may not know, though, is that Max is absolutely stuffed with great movies, many of which are actually hard to find from the home screen. If you're looking for a movie to while away Labor Day weekend with, then we've got you covered with three titles that perfectly fit the bill.
