‘My Best Friend’s Wedding,’ ‘The Skeleton Twins’ and Everything Coming to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and HBO in January – Towleroad

Looking for something to stream while you Netflix and chill? Check out our picks for new films streaming this month below, includingMy Best Friends Wedding, The Skeleton Twinsand more.

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), available on Netflix Jan. 1

Murder! Intrigue! A young Matt Damon in a lime green Speedo!

My Best Friends Wedding (1997), available on Hulu Jan. 1

Is the gay best friend archetype a bit too clich? Probably. But this is one of the tropes best examples. Rupert Everett is at his most delightful, stealing every scene hes in right out from underneath the likes of Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts. Now, wheres the 2020 reboot focusing on his character?

Les Miserables (2012), available on HBO Jan. 1

I mean, its no CATS (nothing is), but this Broadway behemoth gets an epic cinematic treatment starring Eddie Redmayne, Hugh Jackman and peak Anne Hathaway. Sure, it sometimes feels like the film is pummeling viewers in the face with its relentless pathos, but there have been far worse translations from stage to screen. (No, not CATS. CATS is great.)

Betty White: First Lady of Television (2018), available on Netflix Jan. 12

Look back at the life of Americas real sweetheart, Betty White. The longtime LGBTQ ally and iconic sitcom star has appeared on television for decades. Celebs like Ryan Reynolds, Carol Burnett and Tina Fey also weigh in on Whites impact.

The Skeleton Twins (2014), available on Amazon Prime and Hulu Jan. 17

Now that Bill Hader has fully proven his acting chops on HBOs Barry, its time this film gets another look. Hader hits emotional depths playing half of a pair of siblings figuring out how to best support each other as adults. Hes a queer man recovering from a suicide attempt and reconnecting with his sister (played with equal aplomb by Kristen Wiig).
