Apple TV+ has so few movies. Is it still worth it?

It's small on purpose. Apple funds a short list of high-budget originals (CODA, Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon) instead of licensing thousands of filler titles, so the quality-per-title ratio is unusually high.

Why does the Apple TV app show movies that aren't on this list?

The Apple TV app doubles as a rental storefront. This page sticks to films actually included with an Apple TV+ subscription, so nothing here costs extra to press play on.

How should a group choose from Apple TV+'s catalog?

Even a compact catalog stalls a group. Make a PickFlix room with Apple TV+ selected, swipe through the deck together, and let the vote, not the loudest person, call it.

Does PickFlix work with an Apple One bundle?

Yes. PickFlix is free and only cares that you can stream Apple TV+, whether you pay for it directly, through Apple One, or via a carrier promo.
