Thebest free streaming servicesused to be a dumping ground for low-quality movies and TV shows, but these days, the likes of Tubi, Pluto TV, andAmazonFreevee boast content libraries to rival the verybest streaming services, period.Indeed, this week’s selection of free movies to stream attests to that sentiment and then some (The Godfather, anyone?). Below, I’ve highlighted five of the best free movies to stream on Tubi, Pluto TV, Amazon Freevee, and other free streaming services in November.
The Godfather (Pluto TV)
Release date:March 1972Rotten Tomatoes score:97%Length:175 minutesDirector:Francis Ford CoppolaMain cast:Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard Castellano
You’ve seenBilly Zane in costume as Marlon Brandoin the upcoming biopicWaltzing with Brando, now watch (or re-watch) Brando himself as iconic mobster Vito Corleone inThe Godfather, which is now streaming for free on Pluto TV.
Adapted fromMarioPuzo’s 1969 novel of the same name and widely regarded as one of the best films of all time, Francis Ford Coppola’sThe Godfatherchronicles the bloody transition of power between a ruthless mafia boss (Brando) and his reluctant son (Al Pacino). In recent years, Brando’s Corleone has emerged as the subject of countless internet memes, but don’t let that take away from what is the most iconic performance of one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. This is necessary viewing for all movie fans.
Good Will Hunting (Hoopla, Pluto TV)
Release date:December 1997Rotten Tomatoes score:84%Length:126 minutesDirector:Gus Van SantMain cast:Robin Williams, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Minnie Driver
It’s now Autumn, which means it’s time to indulge in the Autumn movie triumvirate:When Harry Met Sally,Dead Poets Society, and, of course,Good Will Hunting, which is now streaming for free on Hoopla and Pluto TV.
Written by two of its stars, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Gus Van Sant’s moody drama tells the story of janitor Will Hunting, a closet mathematical genius whose intellect – and troubled past – is exposed by a quiet MIT professor (Robin Williams). Stellan Skarsgård, Minnie Driver, and Casey Affleck also star in this 1990s classic.

Django Unchained (Tubi – leaving soon)
Release date:December 2012Rotten Tomatoes score:87%Length:165 minutesDirector:Quintin TarantinoMain cast:Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DeCaprio, Kerry Washington
If there’s one film in Quentin Tarantino’s body of work that best encapsulates his penchant for stylized violence and edge-of-your-seat dialogue, it’sDjango Unchained.
This Spaghetti Western-inspired movie follows an ex-slave and a German bounty hunter as they shoot (and talk) their way through the Deep South in the 1800s. Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson all-star inDjango Unchained, which remains one of the best (and most controversial) movies of recent years.
The Mummy (Pluto TV – leaving soon)
Release date:May 1999Rotten Tomatoes score:62%Length:125 minutesDirector:Stephen SommersMain cast:Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo
Before the world went mad for Brendan Fraser’s Hollywood renaissance, the American actor earned his stripes as a bona fide action hero in 1999’sThe Mummy, which is now streaming for free on Pluto TV (though it’s leaving soon!).This cult classic movie stars Fraser as Rick O’Connell, a debonair treasure hunter who travels to Hamunaptra in Egypt – with librarian Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) in tow – and unknowingly awakens a mummified high priest with supernatural powers.The Mummymay not be the most critically acclaimed film of all time, but it’s undeniable franchise fun.
The Lego Movie (Amazon Freevee)
Release date:February 2024Rotten Tomatoes score:96%Length:101 minutesDirector:Phil Lord, Christopher MillerMain cast:Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett
Say what you want about 2014’s The Lego Movie; when I reluctantly accompanied my then-12-year-old sister to the cinema to see it a decade ago, I was blown away by how funny, visually stunning, and downright surprising it was.
The brainchild ofSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseduo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, this child- and adult-friendly animation centers on Emmet (Pratt), an ordinary Lego minifigure who embarks on a quest to stop tyrannical creativity-hater Lord Business (Will Ferrell). The film uses CGI to replicate stop-motion animation to amazing effect, and the infinitely large number of pop culture references are a joy to behold.
