On the plus side, while there are commercial interruptions, the movies are not edited for content like they are on broadcast channels. Which means you can still watch uncut movies and with fewer total interruptions than television airings.
And did we mention the movies were free ?
Which movies should you watch, though, now that you know where to find them? Rotten Tomatoes did some digging and sorted through the free movie catalogs of Peacock, Fandango At Home, Tubi, Freevee, YouTube, and Crackle to find the 100 best movies available to watch for free right now.

The Big Short (2015)
Critics Consensus: The Big Short approaches a serious, complicated subject with an impressive attention to detail — and manages to deliver a well-acted, scathingly funny indictment of its real-life villains in the bargain.
Where to Stream: Pluto TV
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Critics Consensus: With intelligence and emotional resonance to match its stunning special effects, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes expands on its predecessor with an exciting and ambitious burst of sci-fi achievement.
Where to Stream: Tubi
Good Will Hunting (1997)
Critics Consensus: It follows a predictable narrative arc, but Good Will Hunting adds enough quirks to the journey — and is loaded with enough powerful performances — that it remains an entertaining, emotionally rich drama.
The LEGO Movie (2014)

Where to Stream: Freevee
Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Critics Consensus: Thanks to the impeccable chemistry between Steve Martin and John Candy, as well as a deft mix of humor and heart, Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a hilarious, heartfelt holiday classic.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Critics Consensus: Featuring bravura set pieces, sly humor, and white-knuckle action, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most consummately entertaining adventure pictures of all time.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
Critics Consensus: It may be too “dark” for some, but Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom remains an ingenious adventure spectacle that showcases one of Hollywood’s finest filmmaking teams in vintage form.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
Critics Consensus: Lighter and more comedic than its predecessor, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade returns the series to the brisk serial adventure of Raiders , while adding a dynamite double act between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Critics Consensus: Though the plot elements are certainly familiar, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull still delivers the thrills and Harrison Ford’s return in the title role is more than welcome.
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Critics Consensus: Anchored by another winning performance from Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg’s unflinchingly realistic war film virtually redefines the genre.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Critics Consensus: Director Jonathan Demme’s smart, taut thriller teeters on the edge between psychological study and all-out horror, and benefits greatly from stellar performances by Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster.
Where to Stream: Pluto TV , Tubi
The Social Network (2010)
Critics Consensus: Impeccably scripted, beautifully directed, and filled with fine performances, The Social Network is a riveting, ambitious example of modern filmmaking at its finest.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
Critics Consensus: Its jokes are profoundly bold and rude but incredibly funny at the same time.
The Accidental Tourist (1988)
Critics Consensus: Generous with its characters’ foibles and virtues, The Accidental Tourist is a thoughtful drama vested with insight into the complications of relationships.
Where to Stream: Fandango at Home
The Addams Family (1991)
Critics Consensus: The movie is peppered with amusing sight gags and one-liners, but the disjointed script doesn’t cohere into a successful whole.
American Flyers (1985)
Critics Consensus: American Flyers shifts between family drama and cycling action gears with enough strength to make this inspirational sports picture more than pedestrian.
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Critics Consensus: Filled with inspired silliness and quotable lines, Anchorman isn’t the most consistent comedy in the world, but Will Ferrell’s buffoonish central performance helps keep this portrait of a clueless newsman from going off the rails.
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
Critics Consensus: It’s just as uneven and loosely structured as the first Anchorman — and while Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues may not be quite as quotable, it’s nearly as funny as its predecessor.
Boogie Nights (1997)
Critics Consensus: Grounded in strong characters, bold themes, and subtle storytelling, Boogie Nights is a groundbreaking film both for director P.T. Anderson and star Mark Wahlberg.
Bound (1996)
Critics Consensus: Bound ‘s more titillating elements attracted attention, but it’s the stylish direction, solid performances, and entertaining neo-noir caper plot that make it worth a watch.
Demolition Man (1993)
Critics Consensus: A better-than-average sci-fi shoot-em-up with a satirical undercurrent, Demolition Man is bolstered by strong performances by Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.
Forrest Gump (1994)
Critics Consensus: Tom Hanks’ rigorously earnest performance keeps Forrest Gump sincere even when it gets glib with American history, making for a whimsical odyssey of debatable wisdom but undeniable heart.
Galaxy Quest (1999)
Critics Consensus: Intelligent and humorous satire with an excellent cast — no previous Trekkie knowledge needed to enjoy this one.
The Godfather (1972)
Critics Consensus: One of Hollywood’s greatest critical and commercial successes, The Godfather gets everything right; not only did the movie transcend expectations, it established new benchmarks for American cinema.
The Godfather, Part II (1974)
Critics Consensus: Drawing on strong performances by Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, Francis Ford Coppola’s continuation of Mario Puzo’s Mafia saga set new standards for sequels that have yet to be matched or broken.
The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone (1990)
Critics Consensus: T he Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone pulls the audience back into Francis Ford Coppola’s epic gangster saga with a freshly — albeit slightly — edited version of its final installment.
Hamlet (1996)
Critics Consensus: Kenneth Branagh’s sprawling, finely textured adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece lives up to its source material, using strong performances and a sharp cinematic focus to create a powerfully resonant film that wastes none of its 246 minutes.
Heat (1995)
Critics Consensus: Though Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share but a handful of screen minutes together, Heat is an engrossing crime drama that draws compelling performances from its stars — and confirms Michael Mann’s mastery of the genre.
Hellboy (2004)
Critics Consensus: With wit, humor and Guillermo del Toro’s fantastic visuals, the entertaining Hellboy transcends the derivative nature of the genre.
Ladyhawke (1985)
Critics Consensus: There are pacing problems, but Ladyhawke has an undeniable romantic sweep that’s stronger than most fantasy epics of its ilk.
Legally Blonde (2001)
Critics Consensus: Though the material is predictable and formulaic, Reese Witherspoon’s funny, nuanced performance makes this movie better than it would have been otherwise.
Where to Stream: Pluto TV, Tubi, YouTube
The Master (2012)
Critics Consensus: Smart and solidly engrossing, The Master extends Paul Thomas Anderson’s winning streak of challenging films for serious audiences.
Matchstick Men (2003)
Critics Consensus: Breezy and well-acted, Matchstick Men focuses more on the characters than on the con.
The Mission (1986)
Critics Consensus: The Mission is a well-meaning epic given delicate heft by its sumptuous visuals and a standout score by Ennio Morricone, but its staid presentation never stirs an emotional investment in its characters.
Mission: Impossible (1996)
Critics Consensus: Full of special effects, Brian DePalma’s update of Mission: Impossible has a lot of sweeping spectacle, but the plot is sometimes convoluted.
Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Critics Consensus: Fast-paced, with eye-popping stunts and special effects, the latest Mission: Impossible installment delivers everything an action fan could ask for. A thrilling summer popcorn flick.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011)
Critics Consensus: Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.
Night Shift (1982)
Critics Consensus: Night Shift bristles with pitch-perfect laughs thanks to Ron Howard’s snappy direction and a side-splitting turn from Michael Keaton.
Oh, God! (1977)
Critics Consensus: Oh, God! ‘s Biblical playfulness makes for more cute farce than divine comedy, but George Burns’ sly performance as the Almighty gives this high concept gravitas.
Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Critics Consensus: Worth watching for Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton’s performances alone, Only Lovers Left Alive finds writer-director Jim Jarmusch adding a typically offbeat entry to the vampire genre.
Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire (2009)
Critics Consensus: Precious is a grim yet ultimately triumphant film about abuse and inner-city life, largely bolstered by exceptional performances from its cast.
Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
Critics Consensus: Sleepless in Seattle is a cute classic with a very light touch and real chemistry between the two leads — even when spending an entire movie apart.
The Spanish Prisoner (1998)
Critics Consensus: The Spanish Prisoner delivers just what fans of writer-director David Mamet expect: a smart, solidly constructed drama that keeps viewers guessing… and entertained along the way.
State and Main (2000)
Critics Consensus: State and Main offers plenty of wit and laughs in its lampoons of the movie industry.
Wild Things (1998)
Critics Consensus: Wild Things is a delightfully salacious, flesh-exposed romp that also requires a high degree of love for trash cinema.
Wrath of Man (2021)
Critics Consensus: Wrestling just enough stakes out of its thin plot, Wrath of Man sees Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham reunite for a fun, action-packed ride.
Where to Stream: YouTube
The Year of Living Dangerously (1982)

All Is Lost (2013)
Critics Consensus: Anchored by another tremendous performance in a career full of them, All Is Lost offers a moving, eminently worthwhile testament to Robert Redford’s ability to hold the screen.
