The 15 best movies on YouTube

From affecting documentaries to classic comedies, there are plenty of quality films available to stream for free.

Courtesy Everett; IFC Films/Courtesy Everett; Everett Collection

YouTube has been a one-stop shop for cute animal videos and Byzantine video essays since 2005. But in recent years, this gargantuan media hub has more to offer than snack-sized bites of digital entertainment. In fact, you can now watch entire films on the platform for free (with ads, of course), making for a great way to dabble in streaming without paying subscription fees.

There are plenty of options to choose from, but which ones are worth your time? To help you out, EW has rounded up the 15 best movies on YouTube right now.

45 Years (2015)

Sundance Selects/Courtesy Everett Collection

Writer-director Andrew Haigh ( All of Us Strangers ) unpacks the fracturing of a marriage in this mesmerizing slow-burn drama. Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay star as Kate and Geoff Mercer, a British couple celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary. After the body of Geoff's former lover is recovered, Kate gradually realizes that her husband hasn't told her the whole truth about his past — and how it has informed their own relationship. Rampling won numerous critics' awards and earned an Oscar nomination for her subtle, devastating performance.

As EW's critic writes , "In a quiet, beautifully calibrated performance completely stripped of actressy tricks, she's a revelation." — Kevin Jacobsen

All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)

In 1989, Don Bluth's  All Dogs Go to Heaven went up against Disney's The Little Mermaid in theaters and got flounced (or should we say floundered?). However, in subsequent years, his unconventional animated film has developed a cult following thanks to its wild plot (wherein a dog is murdered and then comes back from the pearly gates for revenge before finding an orphan girl to polish his tarnished heart). To top it off, there's also killer voice work by actors like Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise.

EW's critic once declared this as "the most disturbing kids' movie ever." And we still think you shouldn't show it to young children, but their parents will probably love a touching talking animals cartoon that successfully zigs whenever its Disney-fed audience expects it to zag. — Chris Snellgrove Where to watch All Dogs Go to Heaven : YouTube Director: Don Bluth Cast: Loni Anderson , Judith Barsi, Dom DeLuise, Melba Moore, Charles Nelson Reilly, Burt Reynolds, Vic Tayback

Another Round (2020)

A potent cocktail of comedy and tragedy, Thomas Vinterberg's Another Round takes place in modern-day Copenhagen as four dissatisfied friends and teachers decide to embark on an experiment: maintain a state of buzz from alcohol to unlock their creative potential. Results are positive to start, with all four finding their moods raised and teaching methods more fruitful for their students. But things take an unfortunate turn as the friends decide to take their alcohol consumption to the next level.

Featuring a stunning lead performance by Mads Mikkelsen , the Danish film received widespread critical acclaim for its depiction of men of a certain age as they try to quell their midlife crises. Vinterberg received a Best Director Oscar nomination in 2021 for the film, which also won the award for Best International Feature. — K.J. Where to watch Another Round : YouTube EW grade: B ( read the review ) Director: Thomas Vinterberg Cast: Mads Mikkelsen, Thomas Bo Larsen, Magnus Millang, Lars Ranthe

Barry Lyndon (1975)

This odyssey of an average man who just keeps failing upward and his subsequent fall from grace may seem like your standard period piece, but, despite its predictably lavish visuals, Barry Lyndon is far from it. That's because it was directed by Stanley Kubrick , who tells the story of the title character (played with aloof detachment by Ryan O'Neal) with an innate sense of irony as we track his journey from farm boy to soldier to aristocrat.

Featuring some of the most gorgeous cinematography ever captured on film, Barry Lyndon is the work of a master at the top of his craft, with EW's critic calling it "a brocade-and-powdered-wig period piece so unprecedented in its authenticity that it would seem as enigmatic — and compelling — to modern audiences as a visit to another galaxy." — K.J.

Where to watch Barry Lyndon : YouTube

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Cast: Ryan O'Neal, Marisa Berenson, Patrick Magee, Hardy Kruger, Diana Körner, Gay Hamilton

Bye Bye Birdie (1963)

Of all the stage productions that have permeated through pop culture, few are as charming as Bye Bye Birdie . While Elvis doesn't star in the movie version, the premise was inspired by The King getting drafted at the height of his fame. Our fictional singing heartthrob also gets scouted by the Army, but his real battle is closer to home as he deals with everything from adoring teenage fans to a bizarre scheme by Dick Van Dyke's character (an aspiring songwriter who sees the singer as his own personal meal ticket).

Ultimately, this musical is full of catchy tunes, great 1960s flashbacks, and a standout performance from Van Dyke in his very first film role. — C.S.

Dances With Wolves (1990)

Orion Pictures Corp/Courtesy Everett Collection

If you're a fan of  Kevin Costner , then you owe it to yourself to watch  Dances With Wolves  on YouTube ASAP. This is the actor's passion project: He starred in, produced, and directed this tale of a Union soldier who walks away from the Civil War to join a tribe of Native Americans and learn a simpler, better way of life.

Costner is as good as ever here, and supporting actors such as  Mary McDonnell  add notes of grace to a narrative that would otherwise be consumed with gravitas. And if you don't mind a story told through a decidedly "New Age" lens, this is a film you will most likely never forget. — C.S. Where to watch  Dances With Wolves : YouTube Director:  Kevin Costner Cast:  Kevin Costner, Mary McDonnell, Graham Greene, Rodney Grant

Donnie Darko (2001)

Mary Evans /Courtesy Everett Collection

This cult-favorite sci-fi thriller is still evocative more than 20 years later. Jake Gyllenhaal , in one of his early breakout roles, stars as Donnie, an angsty teenager who sleepwalks outside his house where he is met with a terrifying human-sized rabbit who informs him the world will end in 28 days. That night, a plane crashes into Donnie's house, after which he continues to see the sinister rabbit. It's a concept that could've gone off the rails if not for Richard Kelly's deft direction. As EW's critic writes , "He swings big — with flair." — K.J.

Frances Ha (2013)

IFC Films/Courtesy Everett

Greta Gerwig , now an acclaimed writer-director and frequent Oscar nominee, became a true indie darling with Frances Ha , which she starred in and co-wrote with her partner, Noah Baumbach . Gerwig plays Frances Halladay, a millennial dancer living in Brooklyn whose best friend/roommate decides to move to Tribeca, forcing Frances to find a more affordable living arrangement.

As Frances struggles to make ends meet, she grapples with the changing nature of her relationship with her best friend. Infused with quirky, observational humor and its main character's wayward spirit, Frances Ha is a film about reckoning with young adulthood in all of its messy, beautiful complications. — K.J.

Hairspray (2007)

New Line/courtesy Everett Collection

From the cheerful opener "Good Morning Baltimore" to the dizzying delirium of "You Can't Stop the Beat," Hairspray is a joyful ode to progress and standing up for what's right. Based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name (which itself was adapted from John Waters ’ 1988 cult classic, also titled Hairspray ), the '60s-set film centers on exuberant high-schooler Tracy Turnblad ( Nikki Blonsky ) as she auditions for her local American Bandstand -esque teen dance show and faces prejudice because of her weight. Meanwhile, she gets involved in the civil rights movement, fighting against segregation in her community.

Director Adam Shankman enhances the film's well-choreographed musical numbers with eye-popping colors, while his cast enthusiastically commits to his vision — particularly a scene-stealing John Travolta as Tracy's agoraphobic mother. — K.J.

Heathers (1989)

New World Pictures/courtesy Everett Collection

Before there was Mean Girls , there was this dark satire about the impossible pressures of high school. The film follows high schooler Veronica Sawyer ( Winona Ryder ) as she joins a popular but feared clique of girls, all with the same first name: Heather. Quickly exhausted by the Heathers, she befriends the new kid, J.D. ( Christian Slater ), who has dangerous ideas to help Veronica get back at them. Wickedly funny with sharp observational humor, Heathers is a (heightened) testament to the Gen X high school experience at its most cynical. — K.J.

Director:  Michael Lehmann

Cast:  Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty

Malcolm X (1992)

Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection

Spike Lee 's epic biopic about Malcolm X is a staggering chronicle of a leader and all his complexities. Denzel Washington , in one of his most definitive performances, portrays Malcolm through various stages of his life, from his time as a teenage criminal to his incarceration and conversion to Islam to his rise and fall as a prominent activist. Lee and Washington take us on a riveting journey of a man coming into his own, accounting for all his flaws and virtues.

As EW's critic writes , "The drama of  Malcolm X  lies not simply in Malcolm's constantly shifting personas but in the interior journey they represent — that of a man learning to recognize (and harness) his own intellectual and spiritual powers." — K.J.

Memento (2001)

Everett Collection

Memento was Christopher Nolan 's first mainstream foray into playing with notions of time. Guy Pearce plays Leonard Shelby, a man who suffers from amnesia following the murder of his wife. Seeking justice, Leonard tries to make sense of his life while his failing short-term memory prompts him to tattoo important information on his body and take photographs with a Polaroid camera.

The film cleverly uses both chronological and non-linear editing interchangeably, putting the viewer in the protagonist's mind as we try to put together an elaborate puzzle. " Memento has a spooky repetitive urgency that takes on the clarity of a dream," writes EW's critic . "It’s like an Oliver Sacks case study played as malevolent film noir." — K.J.

Where to watch Memento : YouTube

Director: Christopher Nolan

Cast: Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss , Joe Pantoliano

Paprika (2006)

Madhouse/Sony/Kobal/Shutterstock

This thought-provoking Japanese anime film from visionary director Satoshi Kon will weave into your subconscious. The film centers on a psychologist who uses innovative dream technology to help her patients, using the alter ego Paprika. After the technology is stolen, the psychologist and her fellow scientists try to prevent catastrophic consequences. Dizzying and dazzling all at once, Paprika finds Kon mixing "visual beauty with disorienting perspectives for a cautionary tale about machine-influenced soullessness," writes EW's critic . — K.J.

Where to watch Paprika : YouTube

Director: Satoshi Kon

Cast: Megumi Hayashibara, Tōru Emori, Katsunosuke Hori, Tōru Furuya, Akio Ōtsuka, Kōichi Yamadera, Hideyuki Tanaka

Pumping Iron (1977)

If you've ever enjoyed an Arnold Schwarzenegger action film, then you ought to watch the documentary that effectively kick-started his career. While Pumping Iron is about bodybuilders in general, our eyes are drawn to the soon-to-be star in his physical prime, reminding us why he was perfectly cast as Conan the Barbarian back in the '80s.

As EW's writer points out in a retrospective on the actor, "Schwarzenegger's charm and wit were immediately apparent," and it's hard not to laugh at his hilarious and even vulgar descriptions of the sport (likening it to sexual intercourse, among other things). — C.S.

Where to watch Pumping Iron : YouTube

Directors: George Butler and Robert Fiore

Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno , Mike Katz, Franco Columbu, Ed Corney, Ken Waller, Serge Nubret

Stargate (1994)

For sci-fi fans, it's almost quaint to remember a time when the Stargate franchise was limited to this single film. Still, it's worth rewatching the movie that eventually spawned a television empire led by Stargate SG-1 . This early narrative of earthlings traveling through a gate to the other side of the universe and discovering the extent to which aliens manipulated our planet still feels remarkably fresh. Much of that is due to the strong performances: Kurt Russell is all lantern-jawed heroism, while James Spader plays against type as a nerdy scientist who just might be out of his depth.

As EW's critic points out , the film has interesting "notions about the dawn of civilization" as well as "flashes of psychedelic visual energy." Big ideas combined with a killer aesthetic...what's not to love? — C.S.

The 15 Best Movies About Being Lost In Space

Kevin costner addresses cancelled horizon chapter 2 release following chapter 1's poor box office, mark hamill & more pay tribute to james earl jones: "one of the world's finest actors".

Visual effects artists offer their breakdown of the movie Lost in Space . A reboot of the classic sci-fi series of the same name , the 1998 action-adventure sci-fi film tells the story of the Robinson family, who journey to space in order to fight for humanity. Lost in Space was directed by Stephen Hopkins and featured a leading cast including Gary Oldman, William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc , Mimi Rogers, Heather Graham, Jared Harris, Lacey Chabert, Jack Johnson, Mark Goddard, and Lennie James.

Now, Corridor Crew provides a breakdown of the VFX in Lost in Space . Specifically, they analyze a shot wherein LeBlanc's space helmet comes down on his face in chunks. In their explanation, the VFX artists explained that there is " absolutely no CG in the shot ." Instead, the shot was taken by filming the scene with and without the helmet, trying to mimic the movements as closely as possibly, and then creating a composite and animation in order to make it look like the suit was coming down. Check out the explanation from the Corridor Crew below:

1998. Matt LeBlanc, star of friends. This was a big movie at the time. It had the highest number of visual effects shots in any moive released up until that point, with 750 shots. I remember they were so jazzed about their helmet shot. Matt LeBlanc returning and aiming his gun, and the helmet going down across his face. Ooh, okay, is that real at the end there? That's some cool compositing that they did there. I know what they did. Because he's wearing the real helmet the whole time But what about the CG helmet, how are they animating that? It looks like they just have pictures of the real helmet in that shot, and they are just shrinking and moving those elements around to make it appear. But there's definitely like a filmed after the fact Joey Tribbiani head, sorry, Matt LeBlanc. There is absolutely no CG in this shot. Is it all image cutouts and movement? Essentially all they did was they did two takes, or I assume they did many different takes. One of him without the helmet and one of him wearing the helmet. Doing the exact same motion, trying to get the timing of that motion perfect. And they're just animating on still images of the helmet. And they're just taking slices of the helmet and expanding it out. That's just very clever rotoscoping at the end of the day. But you know what makes this shot work so well? The attention to detail on the shadows underneath the blades. You only go and lock it in the frame at that moment when it's supposed to appear. And then all you need is three frames of it going up. It's very similar to that effect you see frequently on social media where a person's posing and their hand falls down, and locks into where their hand is in the future. That's basically what this shot is. That's a classic shot, man. I haven't seen that in a while, but I remember that being really really iconic.

How Was Lost In Space Received At The Time?

Critics did not appreciate the '90s reboot.

In their analysis, the Corridor Crew also mentioned how standout Lost in Space was at the time. Before the 1998 film, no film had had more than its 750 VFX shots . Now, there are films such as Avatar: The Way of Water or Dune: Part Two, wherein the majority of the film includes VFX shots and high levels of computer intervention in post-production. In the late '90s, however, this was much less commonplace, making the creation of Lost in Space even more impressive. In the absence of advanced CGI , the film found creative alternatives.

From Interstellar to Gravity, few other sci-fi movies have ever conveyed the feeling of anxiety and isolation of being lost in space like these.

Despite the visual marvel that was Lost in Space , the film was not well-received at the time of its release . The critical consensus came out to a rotten 27% approval on Rotten Tomatoes, with 84 reviews. Audiences did not like the film any better, giving it an even worse 24%. Critics at the time mentioned that, despite the film's commitment to its visuals, the movie has very little charm and lacks strong dialogue and characters.

Lost in Space is currently available to rent on Prime Video.

It also struggled at the box office during the time of its release. Lost in Space was made for a massive budget of $80 million , but only ended up grossing just over $136 million worldwide at the box office. Because most films need 2x to 2.5x their budget to profit, Lost in Space likely lost money. Despite this poor performance at the time, however, Corridor Crew's analysis helps prove how important Lost in Space is in visual effects history.

How Other Films From This Era Have Used Creative VFX Methods

Corridor crew has found value in many '90s films.

Lost in Space is far from the only '90s film that Corridor Crew has taken a closer look at over the years . Earlier this year, the VFX artists looked at The Pagemaster , a part-animated and part-live-action Macaulay Culkin film from 1994. They broke down how The Pagemaster used " pretty low-level CGI " and combined this with hand-drawn animation to create a scene wherein a live-action world transforms into an animated book universe. As in the case of Lost in Space , The Pagemaster team used creative mechanisms to create this effect, in lieu of advanced technology.

The '90s was somewhat of a transition period in the VFX space; CGI technology was developing, as was interest in the medium, but it was not nearly as fine-tuned as it is today.

Perhaps the most apt point of comparison for Lost in Space is 1997's Starship Troopers . Another sci-fi film, its budget was even higher than that of Lost in Space , coming in at an estimated $105 million. The film also underperformed at the box office, grossing $121 million worldwide. In March, Corridor Crew dissected Starship Troopers , explaining what went into creating the movie's massive-scale CG and " texture detail on the models ." Much like Lost in Space , Starship Troopers has also become a cult classic sci-fi film as the years have passed.

Looking at all three of these examples, it is clear just how creative films got during this period. The '90s was somewhat of a transition period in the VFX space ; CGI technology was developing, as was interest in the medium, but it was not nearly as fine-tuned as it is today. This led to some interesting hybrid projects whose charm has not quite been matched today, as CGI can be both impressive and overly perfected. Lost in Space is a great example of this phenomenon.

The 30 Best Movies to Watch on Every Streaming Service

This article will be updated as movies move on and off streaming services. An asterisk indicates a new addition to the list.

Don’t we all deserve to watch something that’s actually great? Too often, the competing streaming algorithms at Netflix , Max , and Amazon Prime Video push a smattering of undifferentiated piffle. So many of the major services seemingly just want to highlight their own latest acquisition or buzzy project. But we at Vulture have no horse in the streaming race: Our job is to help you figure out what to watch by recommending the best movies each of these services has to offer at any given time.

To that end, we have gone over the must-see titles on each platform and winnowed them down to the list below. It could easily be 100 movies long, but we tried to keep it manageable — a tight 30! — and if you come back every month, you can expect to see it updated with new selections. Read on to jump to a streaming service and find something to watch, starting with this week’s critic’s pick.

Jump to a streaming service: Netflix | Amazon Prime Video | Max | Hulu | Apple TV+ | Peacock | Disney+ | Paramount+ | The Criterion Channel

This Week’s Critic’s Pick

Oldboy (netflix).

Year:  2003 Runtime:  2h Director:  Park Chan-wook

It’s hard to explain to people how this movie moved through the film-loving world before Film Twitter was a thing. Recently restored for its 20th anniversary,  Oldboy  has now been dropped on Netflix again, and it’s lost none of its searing power. It’s the tale of a man who is kidnapped, and its genius is that it’s not a whodunit as much as a whydunit, forcing viewers and protagonists to wonder about a truly grisly motive until the final unforgettable act.

How We Pick Our Films

Critic Brian Tallerico watches and writes about movies and TV every day. To curate Vulture’s streaming lists, he dives into each service’s catalogue to surface acclaimed, surprising, or otherwise noteworthy titles — using his taste and a lifetime of cinema study as his guide, instead of whatever the algorithm happens to be pushing. After triple-checking to make sure they’re still available, he watches each, then writes his recommendation. Below we’ve collected selections from each streaming service. We highlight more than just Oscar winners or popcorn flicks: These films present interesting ideas, made an impact on cinema, and changed our culture.

*Godzilla Minus One

Year:  2023 Runtime:  2h 5m Director:  Takashi Yamazaki

Netflix stunned people when they stealthily dropped this worldwide hit on their service on June 1st, making a movie that wasn’t even on VOD finally available at home. The winner of the Oscar for Best Visual Effects,  Godzilla Minus One  is a masterful blend of action and social commentary, considered by many to be among the best in this generations-spanning franchise.

May December

Year: 2023 Runtime: 1h 57m Director: Todd Haynes

Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman star in the latest from Carol and Far from Heaven director Todd Haynes, a stunning character study of an actress who discovers that some people are impossible to figure out. Portman plays a star who tries to get under the skin of Moore’s character, a woman who raped a child when she was a teacher, and later married that young man. Charles Melton is phenomenal as the now-grown victim, stuck in perpetual adolescence.

*Miami Vice

Year:  2006 Runtime:  2h 12m Director:  Michael Mann

Just over 20 years after the premiere of the hit series that introduced the world to Crockett and Tubbs, Michael Mann returned to Florida for this stylized adaptation starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. Divisive on its release because it’s not exactly a traditional blockbuster,  Miami Vice  has developed a loyal following over the years for its gorgeous cinematography and intoxicating style.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Year:  1975 Runtime:  1h 29m Director:  Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones

During a hiatus between the third and fourth seasons of  Monty Python’s Family Circus , the gang of mega-talented comedians decided to make movie history. Inspired by the King Arthur legend,  Holy Grail  is a timeless comedy, the rare kind of film that will still be making people laugh hundreds of years from now. And while the Monty Python boys were already famous, this film took them to another level, cementing their place in movie history.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Year: 2023 Runtime: 2h 20m Director: Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson

This is how you do a big-budget blockbuster sequel, developing the themes of the first movie and setting up the stake for what now appears will be one of the best trilogies in superhero history. Packed with so much detail and creativity, it’s a film you’ll want to watch over and over again.

Amazon Prime Video

Year:  1981 Runtime:  1h 47m Director:  Brian De Palma

Brian De Palma’s best film stars John Travolta as a sound effects technician who is out recording sounds one night when he thinks he hears something terrifying. De Palma’s films often riff on Hitchcock, and this is his  Rear Window , taking the voyeuristic elements of that film and applying them to a deeply cynical but brilliant study of violence, politics, and sex in the early 1980s.

The Holdovers

Year: 2023 Runtime: 2h 13m Director: Alexander Payne

Paul Giamatti and Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Golden Globes, and Randolph won an Oscars, for this phenomenal holiday comedy, exclusive to Peacock. The ‘70s-set story of a boarding school over holiday break already feels like a comedy classic, a movie that people will be watching, especially around the end of the year, for generations to come.

Interstellar

Year:  2014 Runtime:  2h 49m Director:  Christopher Nolan

The most underrated film from the director of The Dark Knight and Oppenheimer remains this 2014 sci-fi epic, a film that’s better if you approach it as an emotional journey instead of a physical one. Matthew McConaughey gives one of the best performances of his career as an astronaut searching for a new home for mankind, and realizing all that he left behind to do so. It’s a technical marvel with some of the most striking visuals and best sound design of Nolan’s career.

Year: 2023 Runtime: 1h 55m Director: Greta Gerwig

One of the biggest films of 2023 has landed on Max. Greta Gerwig’s daring blockbuster is a comedy that works both as a reminder of the power imagination and the fight for equality. Anyone who thinks this movie is anti-male isn’t paying any attention. The theme of the movie is that no one — not even Barbie or Ken — should be defined by traditional roles. We should all be free to play however we want. It’s a wonderful film that will truly stand the test of time.

Dune: Part Two

Year:  2021, 2024 Runtime:  2h 36m, 2h 46m Director:  Denis Villeneuve

You can now watch the entire  Dune  saga to date on Max, the exclusive home to the highest grossing film of 2024 so far. The second half of Villeneuve’s saga fulfills the promise of the first, turning the set-up of the 2021 film into a full-blooded action tale of a new messiah. Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya lead an all-star cast in a film that understands both scope and character. It may not play quite as well at home as it did in theaters, but it still rocks.

Lost in Translation

Year:  2003 Runtime:  1h 42m Director:  Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola exploded onto the filmmaking scene with her second film, this dramedy about a fading movie star who meets an American girl in Tokyo and both of their lives change. Bill Murray does career-best work in the film (and should have won an Oscar), and he’s matched by Scarlett Johansson, but  Lost in Translation  really is Coppola’s film, a tender, brilliant character study with personal resonance.

The Lighthouse

Year:  2019 Runtime:  1h 50m Director:  Robert Eggers

Is this the best COVID lockdown movie? Sure, it came out the year before, but a lot of people watched it on streaming while they were going crazy with people with whom they were stuck. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe are fearless in Robert Eggers’ black-and-white nightmare about two New England lighthouse keepers who learn that nothing is scarier than being trapped with someone unbearable. It’s a twisted gem.

Year: 2019 Runtime: 2h 12m Director: Bong Joon-ho

Remember not that long ago before the world changed, and we could all rally around a South Korean film becoming the first foreign flick ever to win the Oscar for Best Picture ? It really was a crazy time. At one point Hulu was the only place you’ll find Bong Joon-ho’ s hysterical and thrilling study of class conflict for a long time, but the beloved thriller is now on Max, too.

Spirited Away

Year: 2001 Runtime: 2h 4m Director: Hayao Miyazaki

Almost all of the Studio Ghibli films are on Max, the exclusive home to them when it comes to streaming. The truth is that we could write thousands of words about the impact of Hayao Miyazaki and his colleagues (and we have: here’s a ranking of the entire output of the most important modern animation studio in the world), but for now we’ll recommend starting with Spirited Away , My Neighbor Totoro , and Castle in the Sky . You won’t stop.

All of Us Strangers

Year: 2023 Runtime: 1h 45m Director: Andrew Haigh

One of the best films of 2023 is exclusively available on Hulu thanks to the relationship between the company and Fox Searchlight—both owned by Disney, essentially. Andrew Scott is stunning as a man who essentially travels in time to visit the parents (Jamie Bell and Claire Foy) who died when he was young, all while starting a relationship with one of his neighbors (Paul Mescal). Imagine getting to say what you never could to those you lost and allowing them a chance to see how you’ve changed too. It’s a beautiful, moving piece of work.

Anatomy of a Fall

Year: 2023 Runtime: 2h 31m Director: Justine Triet

The latest Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay is already exclusively on Hulu thanks to their relationship with Neon. The great Sandra Huller stars as a woman whose husband dies from a fall at their home. Was it suicide or murder? More than a mere courtroom drama, this is a dissection of a marriage that’s raw, brutal, and real.

Year: 2020 Runtime: 1h 48m Director: Chloe Zhao

The Oscar winner for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress , this 2020 drama is one of the most moving films of the young decade so far, and it’s exclusively on Hulu thanks to the company’s relationship with Searchlight (they’re both owned by Disney). Frances McDormand stars as Fern, a woman displaced by the loss of her husband and job, sending her out on the road. Blending non-fiction filmmaking choices like the use of non-actors telling their own stories with a deep sense of character-building, this is a phenomenal film.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Year: 2019 Runtime: 2h 42m Director: Quentin Tarantino

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a half-decade since Quentin Tarantino’s last movie, one of the last greats of the 2010s. Wildly misunderstood during production (and even a bit after release), it’s way more than just a reclamation of the Sharon Tate murders, it’s a funny, scary, smart alternate version of Hollywood history with some of the career-best performances from Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, and Oscar winner Brad Pitt.

Killers of the Flower Moon

Year: 2023 Runtime: 3h 26m Director: Martin Scorsese

One of the most acclaimed films of the 2020s is now exclusively available for subscribers of Apple TV+. Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, and Robert De Niro star in an epic drama that’s about nothing less than the violent formation of this country. When the Osage people became the richest per capita in the country, the white power figures in the region did everything they could to take it from them. As well-made as any streaming original of all time, it’s not only the best film on Apple TV+, it’s one of the best films you could watch on any streaming service, anywhere.

Wolfwalkers

Year: 2020 Runtime: 1h 43m Directors: Tomm Moore, Ross Stewart

Wolfwalkers should have won the Oscar in early 2021. It’s a lyrical and gorgeous final act to Cartoon Saloon’s “Irish Folklore Trilogy,” the story of a girl named Robyn Goodfellowe, whose father has been hired to hunt wolves. Robyn befriends a shapeshifter, a girl who is both wolf and human, in a story that incorporates modern storytelling with Irish folklore and inspired visual style.

*Do the Right Thing

Year:  1989 Runtime:  1h 59m Director:  Spike Lee

Over 35 years after its release, Spike Lee’s masterpiece feels as urgent and current as the day it was released. After the unrest in early 2020, many people seemed to revisit this classic, to discover it’s lost none of its power. In fact, every viewing of  Do the Right Thing  feels fresh and new again. It’s one of the best films ever made.

Year: 1974 Runtime: 2h 10m Director: Roman Polanski

Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown. One of the best movies of the ’70s, this Best Picture nominee (and Best Screenplay winner) tells the story of Jake Gittes, played unforgettably by Jack Nicholson, as he investigates an adulterer and finds something much more insidious under the surface of Los Angeles. It’s a must-see, as important as almost any film from its era.

The Godfather

Year:  1972 Runtime:  2h 55m Director:  Francis Ford Coppola

It’s only the film that made Al Pacino a star and kicked Francis Ford Coppola’s career into the stratosphere — maybe you’ve heard of it? In all seriousness, the entire  Godfather  trilogy is available on Paramount+, including the superior recent cut of the third film. You could then slide from some of the best filmmaking of all time into the streaming service’s original series  The Offer , about the making of Coppola’s masterpiece.

Year: 2023 Runtime: 1h 45m Director: Celine Song

This phenomenal Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay nominee isn’t on any of the other streamers. It stars the excellent Greta Lee and Teo Yoo as a couple who were close as children but reunite years later after she immigrated to the United States. It’s as much a story of what people leave behind when they change their entire lives as it is a traditional story of unrequited love. It’s beautiful and unforgettable.

The Lion King

Year:  1994 Runtime:  1h 33m Director:  Roger Allers, Rob Minkoff

A key part of the Disney Renaissance, this animated classic is one of the most beloved Disney films in the history of the company. It’s one of the Disney movies that became more than just a movie, inspiring sequels, theme park attractions, and even a massive hit Broadway show. People keep returning to the story of Simba as it gets passed down from generation to generation, probably earning a new fan somewhere in the world every single day.

The Criterion Channel

Year: 1952 Runtime: 2h 23m Director: Akira Kurosawa

Even if Criterion had only a handful of Kurosawa films, it would still be difficult to choose between The Seven Samurai , Rashomon , and Ran , to name a few. So why Ikiru ? Well, it’s an unqualified masterpiece, about a man with stomach cancer coming to terms with the end of his life. It’s hard to believe Kurosawa made it when he was just over 40.

In the Mood for Love 

Year: 2000 Runtime: 1h 38m Director: Wong Kar-wai

Movies don’t get more hypnotic than this, a story of love and longing set in Hong Kong in 1962. Gorgeously shot by cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, In the Mood for Love also features career-defining performances by Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung Man-yuk. The two play neighbors who develop an attraction to one another in a way that feels both deeply cinematic and completely human.

Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles 

Year: 1975 Runtime: 3h 21m Director: Chantal Akerman

The 2022 Sight & Sound critics poll named Chantal Akerman’s masterpiece the best film of all time, and it’s sitting on the Criterion Channel waiting for you to find out why. This 1975 examination of the gradual breakdown of the routines of an ordinary life turns everyday detail into something unforgettable, even transcendent. Critics have loved this film for decades and now it’s had an incredible resurgence almost six decades after its release.

‘The Front Room’ Ending Explained: Does Brandy Survive A24’s Latest Horror Movie?

You’ve reached your account maximum for followed topics.

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Front Room. You gotta love the in-laws. Or then again, maybe you don't. That's a lesson Brandy Norwood 's Belinda squares with as a besieged expectant mother in Max Eggers and Sam Eggers ' (brothers of The Witch director, Robert Eggers ) new A24 horror entry The Front Room . The film sees Belinda's material bliss disrupted when her elderly mother-in-law Solange ( Kathryn Hunter ) comes to stay with her as she prepares to give birth. As Belinda contends with the extremely religious elderly woman, it's a battle of wills over Belinda's new child and the soul of her home in a uniquely comedic thriller. But what's it all about?

What Is 'The Front Room' About?

Belinda and her husband Norman ( Andrew Burnap ) are expecting their second child. They tragically lost their first , which adds more than a little hesitation and emotional weight to the exciting news (especially in light of their financial difficulties). When Norman's father passes, his final request is that Norman allow his estranged mother Solange to live in his home . She's an incontinent, manipulative, oppressively religious, racist woman with a history of traumatizing Norman and believing she's regularly possessed by the Holy Spirit, a set of facts that put her remarkably at odds with Belinda... but she also comes with a sizable inheritance. She moves in, setting off an ever-escalating domestic war between Belinda and the elderly tyrant, putting the fate of their family, home, and child at stake.

Belinda and Solange Square Off Over Who Gets To Be Matriarch

The Front Room certainly provides sufficient context to understand the central conflict between Belinda and Solange. The central reason why Norman didn't initially want to allow Solange to live with the couple is because of his estrangement due to her strict, arguably abusive, parenting style as stepmother. Solange would be extremely stern and strict, all in an effort to coercively impose her cultish version of Christianity on the young Norman. It's an orientation that comes to dominate her approach within the family's home. There are different facets of their growing disagreement, with religious, emotional, and practical elements to boot , but the main tension centers around who gets to be the family's matriarch .

'The Front Room' Review: Brandy and Kathryn Hunter Are Forces of (Un)Nature in Absurd A24 Horror

This movie is more proof you should never let you in-laws move in.

Solange begins with a feigned, sometimes passive-aggressive respect for Belinda's place as the family's maternal figure. After settling in, the subtle criticisms mount : Solange criticizes Belinda's cooking, the presence of Goddess figures (stemming from Belinda's interests as an Anthropologist) and absence of Christian iconography, the baby's lack of feeding, even the baby's name, each in a domineering spirit. "She wants to replace me," Belinda acknowledges at one point in the film. After the child's born, the tension escalates to Belinda yelling "I am her mother!" to which Solange retorts "Oh no ya ain't!" It's a battle for maternal domination .

Solange's Supposed Powers Are Likely Fake

Another layer of the film is introduced early on. While Belinda is a secular-minded academic with an interest in Goddess mythologies, Solange is a dedicated believer in what appears at face value to be an Evangelical sect of Christianity. Most important for our understanding of this element of their conflict is that Solange seemingly believes she's regularly possessed by the Holy Spirit , which she calls her "signs and wonders." Fellow members of her church seem to believe in the sincerity of these beliefs, and as the conflict with Belinda escalates, so do her seeming powers.

After the baby's birth , Belinda is left with a gnarly, crooked, vertical C-section scar. The next morning, it seems slightly improved. The rest of the supposed manifestations of powers also follow the child's birth , such as late-night appearances of Solange as a Virgin Mary figure, holding the new baby (or, alternately, an infantilized version of Norman in another vision). Are these actual manifestations real? At times, the sleep-deprived (thanks to a perpetually crying baby combined with Solange's intentional elderly terrors) Belinda comes to believe in them . At the same time, Belinda does witness seeming daytime evidence that Solange may not need her walker as much as she appears to, and has clear evidence of Solange's manipulations when she throws herself on a table to elicit sympathy from Norman. Between the only evidence of Solange's "signs and wonders" being accompanied by Belinda's absolute exhaustion and the ample evidence of the former's penchant for deception, there's no real reason to believe in Solange's claims .

How Does 'The Front Room' End?

The escalation of events, combined with Solange's constant use of her own incontinence to torment Belinda, brings the latter to the brink of insanity. When their baby, Laurie, appears to have a large human bite mark (that's missing a few teeth), it's clear to Belinda that Solange bit the child. Solange spends a fateful night caterwauling over how she wants to die, and in the morning she's found dead and cold. Here, the film implies Solange died in her sleep, but we then get the reveal that Belinda secretly smothers Solange with a pillow in the middle of the night .

Belinda's decision to murder Solange underscores the extreme lengths she's been pushed to — the rest of the film paints Belinda as a compassionate, kind soul, so surely it's no casual act. The finale implicitly portrays the choice as the right one for the new mother , however, with a lighthearted tone and the dramatic reversal of the entirety of Belinda's troubles: a new job, the implied end to their financial problems, a new house, and even a new child, and Belinda is evidently happy without any regrets. It's a dark end to the horror-comedy, but the Eggers brothers want us to know with certainty that Belinda's best life came after ending Solange's.

Kate Middleton’s Latest Video Is Astonishing in Its Intimacy

A deeply personal message and footage was released by Kensington Palace as Kate announced she has completed her chemotherapy treatment.

The headline news was naturally that the Princess of Wales has finished chemotherapy . This positive milestone amidst what she described as an “incredibly tough” year was instantly welcomed by all. However, as Kensington Palace released new details of Kate’s recovery this evening, it quickly became apparent that this announcement was also extraordinary for other reasons.

This latest video of Kate, William and their three children is like nothing that the Palace has ever released before. Previously, we have seen video messages; we have seen some behind-the-scenes footage; and we have heard more than one deeply personal announcement from Kate since she was diagnosed with cancer . But never before has a video been so intimate and shown the family living their day-to-day lives in such a fulsome and seemingly unfiltered way.

Beginning with footage of the family in the woodlands near to their Norfolk home, Anmer Hall , the three-minute video, which was shot by filmmaker Will Warr, goes on to show George, Charlotte and Louis playing with the camera. “Is this filming?” George asks as the siblings take it in turns to peer at the lens. Footage of the children is not unprecedented, but what comes next is entirely new territory.

The film shows the family inside Anmer Hall, a private residence in which they are very rarely photographed or filmed and certainly not usually with such a clear view of the backdrop. Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton , feature playing a card game, shifting the focus instantly to make it clear this is video very much about their personal life.

William and Kate’s interactions are perhaps the most unprecedented feature. Lying on the grass together, sitting as Kate leans on his shoulder and hugging each other and their children repeatedly for the camera; these scenes have an astonishing naturalness and sense of intimacy that we are quite unaccustomed to seeing.

While Kate’s moving message narrated across the film is powerful, it is the video itself that really stirs emotion. We are reminded in the most upfront of ways that this is a story about a mother, a wife and a daughter. There is interest in this announcement because she is the Princess of Wales. But in shaping how she has communicated, Kate has decided to show us more than ever before about the private life of the woman behind the public title.

This video feels, however, also feels rare. While it’s not impossible that the Wales family may have shown us the beginnings of a new communications approach, it is more likely that this film is a one-off reflection of the unchartered territory Kate’s diagnosis has put them in. The next time we see her is likely to be in a much more official capacity when she begins her tentative return to work. But the impact of this footage will remain.
