The month starts with The Rocky Catalog, The Addams Family, Tomb Raider, and Teen Wolf. Rounding out the month’s new additions are Raging Bull and the iconic The Silence of the Lambs. So, grab your snacks and settle in for a month full of fresh entertainment on MGM+!

American Classic tells the story of Broadway star Richard Bean who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns home to the family theater where he first became aware of his own brilliance.
