If you find yourself gearing up to fry a turkey or seeking refuge from family gatherings by browsing Black Friday deals from the comfort of the bathroom, you’ll probably need something entertaining to watch during this Thanksgiving break. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with a range of recommendations, from classics to some hidden gems.
I’m pretty sure a lot of folks will be tuning in to catch Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+ this month—much like many flocked to cinemas to see it over the summer. This film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, hilariously parodies the last twenty years of comic book blockbusters in a buddy-cop style that’s both fun and impressively engaging. But that’s not all we have to talk about today.
Below, I’ve rounded up nine streaming options available for free on various subscription-based TV and movie platforms, many of which are currently offering discounted monthly memberships. You’ll find everything from sci-fi blockbusters to British teen dramas, along with both multi-season series and unique one-time film experiences. Each selection is perfect for suggesting to a full house or watching solo on your phone while tackling the post-dinner cleanup duties.
