Peacock will boast a huge library of films, including blockbusters (Jurassic Park), comedies (Bridesmaids), classics (Psycho), quirky fare (Moonrise Kingdom) and acclaimed dramas (Brokeback Mountain). Peacock also will offer an extensive library of family titles, such as Care Bears, Beethoven and Voltron Force.
