With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there’s a good chance you’re either gearing up to tackle that turkey deep fryer or stealthily avoiding family fiestas by hiding out in the bathroom, smartphone in hand, hunting for Black Friday steals. Regardless of how you’re spending the holiday, having some quality entertainment lined up can be a lifesaver. Luckily, there’s no shortage of great viewing options, whether you’re into classic favorites or more unconventional gems.
I predict that many will be tuning into Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+. This dynamic duo hit the streaming platform earlier this month and saw a good turnout in theaters over the summer. Featuring the unforgettable pair of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, this film is a playful spin on the past twenty years of comic book blockbuster insanity. It’s entertaining, lighthearted, and sure to please any crowd—but we’re just getting started with what’s on offer.
I’ve rounded up nine fantastic options you can stream for free on one or more of today’s subscription services, many of which are offering great deals on their monthly plans right now. There’s a little bit of everything: sci-fi juggernauts, charming British teen dramedies, long-running series, and unique one-off films. These picks are great for suggesting during a family movie session or for sneaking off to watch solo on your phone when it’s time to tackle those post-feast dishes.
