Another week, another PSA for you to check out the best free streaming services. The likes of Tubi, Pluto TV, and Amazon Freevee have bolstered their movie libraries in recent years, meaning you don’t need to spend big on subscription-based platforms to enjoy some classic and recently released titles.
Last week’s roundup of the best free movies to stream included Arrival, Coraline, and Terrifier, and this week’s selection features a handful of Oscar winners. 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.
The Shawshank Redemption (Tubi – leaving soon)

Sitting pretty at the top of IMDB’s 'Top 250 Movies' list is The Shawshank Redemption, which leaves free streaming service Tubi in less than two weeks. So, if you haven’t yet seen what many film fans consider to be not just one of the best Stephen King adaptations but one of the best movies of all time, now’s your chance.
This critically acclaimed prison drama – based on the 1982 Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption – tells the fictional tale of Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a banker sentenced to life imprisonment who, while serving his term at the infamous Shawshank State Penitentiary, becomes embroiled in a money laundering operation led by its corrupt prison warden (Bob Gunton). Look out for Roger Deakins’ cinematography in this one – it’s necessary viewing for all film fans.
