I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: you don’t need to pay for the best streaming services to access the best movies. While it’s certainly true that headline-grabbing new movies come to the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, and Max first, the best free streaming services offer a surprisingly great selection of already-released titles for you to enjoy.

Last week’s roundup of the best free movies to stream included The Big Short, Sicario, and Speak No Evil, and this week’s edition is similarly varied. 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.

There Will Be Blood (Pluto TV)

One of the most well-reviewed movies of the noughties, There Will Be Blood, is now streaming for free on Pluto TV. Set during the Southern Californian oil boom of the early 20th century, the film follows the moral descent of ruthless oil prospector Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), whose quest for wealth finds him upending a hardscrabble town.

Described by the New York Times as “a work of art” upon its release in 2007, There Will Be Blood is arguably Paul Thomas Anderson’s best movie and a must-watch for fans of actors Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano. Add it to your Pluto TV watchlist ASAP.
