Features By Axel Metz published 7 October 2024

If you haven’t yet checked out the best free streaming services, I implore you to do so. Sure, the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, and Max get new movies before the likes of Tubi and Pluto TV, but the latter platforms are equally well-stocked (if not more so) when it comes to already-released movies to enjoy.

Last week’s roundup of the best free movies to stream included Past Lives, There Will Be Blood, and Battle Royale, and this week’s selection is similarly eye-catching. Below, I’ve highlighted five of the best free movies to stream on Tubi, Pluto TV, Amazon Freevee, and other free streaming services in October.

Coraline (Tubi)

Coraline (2009) Official Trailer - Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher Movie HD - YouTube

Watch On

Release date: February 2009
RT Score: 91%
Length: 100 minutes
Director: Henry Selick
Main cast: Dakota Fanning, Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French

Has any ‘kids’ movie terrified children (and adults) quite as much as Coraline? Henry Selick’s stop-motion adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s celebrated novella bowled over critics and audiences upon its release in 2009, and having appeared on many of the best streaming services at various points over the last decade, it’s now streaming for free on Tubi.

Coraline tells the twisted story of a curious 11-year-old (Dakota Fanning) who discovers an alternate universe behind a secret door in her new home. All seems well, until a dark and sinister force begins to rear its ugly head. Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, and Ian McShane lend their voice talents to this must-see animation.

Blue Valentine (Plex)
