Great Classic Films You Can Stream Right Now for FREE

These days, if I can't stream something, is it really worth watching?? Ok well, the answer is yes because, sadly, there are hardly any Judy Garland movies streaming. Nonetheless, there are some great movies that are streaming for FREE right now on apps like Pluto, Plex, Roku, and Hoopla (which requires a sign up through your local library). Some of them have ads but it's a small price to pay for a great movie without having to get up off the couch and put on a Blu Ray.

Here's a list of some of my favorites. If you're looking for more options, check out JustWatch.com where you can search and see what's available for free or through subscription services.


Gaslight - Roku

Guys & Dolls - Roku, Pluto

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World - Roku, Pluto

Till the Clouds Roll By - Plex, Roku, Pluto - There's a painful lack of musicals streaming, so here's one if you need it.

Cactus Flower - Plex - I just love this wonderfully 60's movie. 

That Touch of Mink - Pluto - I love it. Doris Day, Cary Grant, sexual innuendo. Have you ever noticed that Doris Day tends to sing a weird dramatic song while she's considering whether or not to sleep with her leading man? She does.

Houseboat - Pluto - Truly one of my favorites!

McLintock! - Roku, Plex - I mean, McLintock. What can I say? It's a movie with an exclamation point in the title. Classic Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne shenanigans.

Rio Grande - Pluto - I'm not super into westerns, but ... Maureen O'Hara.

Indiscreet - Pluto

The Grass is Greener - Pluto - This may not be the most amazing movie but Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr are always delightful together and it has its moments.

Roman Holiday - Pluto - A handful of great Audrey Hepburn movies coming up!

Charade - Roku, Plex

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Hoopla

Sabrina (1954 and 1995!) - Pluto

The African Queen - Pluto - It's been years since I've seen this one. Might have to give it a watch.

To Catch A Thief - Pluto

The House of Usher - Pluto - If you're in the mood for some corny Vincent Price horror movies, you're in luck...

The House on Haunted Hill - Roku, Pluto

The Last Man on Earth - Roku, Pluto

The Raven - Pluto

The Pit and the Pendulum - Pluto

The Tingler - Roku, Pluto, Plex


And some non-movie honorable mentions. The Roku channel has lots of great old TV shows if you need to binge:

Alfred Hitchcock Presents/Alfred Hitchcock Hour

The Doris Day Show

The Carol Burnett Show

The Dick Van Dyke Show
