50 of the Best Movies You Can Stream For Free

There was a time when the only way to watch a movie was in theaters, and if you missed it, you'd have to wait months for it to hit video. Then came the race to the local rental store, hoping your pick wasn't already checked out. Those days are long gone. Now, thanks to streaming, you don't even have to leave the couch to watch great films, and plenty of them are completely free.

Streaming services are packed with underrated and overlooked gems, movies you might've missed but are absolutely worth your time. With IMDb listing over 690,000 films as of December 2024, it can feel impossible to know where to start. That's why we've put together a curated list of the best free-to-stream movies to help you cut through the noise and find something great to watch.

To compile a list of the best movies you can stream for free, 24/7 Tempo compiled data from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Reelgood. We considered films with between 10,000-50,000 audience reviews on IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes, that are available on Tubi, Amazon Freevee, Plex, Pluto TV, or Crackle.

Audience and critic ratings were averaged to develop an index to rank the films. Data is current as of early October 2023. Documentaries were excluded. (Check out this list of the best Westerns you probably haven't seen.)
