Apple TV subscribers in the United States can now stream 19 classic and popular movies at no extra cost, according to reporting by The Mac Observer and LifeHacker. The expanded catalog additions bring titles like Titanic, E.T., and Arrival directly into the platform’s standard tier, offering viewers a rotating selection of licensed films alongside more than 300 Apple original productions.
Where to Find the Free Movies on Apple TV
According to The Mac Observer, the newly added films appear inside a dedicated “Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV” carousel within the native Apple TV app. While these specific titles normally function as individual digital rentals or purchases through the Apple TV Store, Apple has labeled them as “Just Added” for subscribers. The service costs $12.99 per month or $99 per year in the United States, with a seven-day free trial available for new users, as noted by The Mac Observer.
Complete List of Added Titles
The newly included collection spans multiple genres and decades, featuring films released across the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. According to The Mac Observer, the complete list of 19 movies currently available to stream includes:
- 21 Jump Street
- Arrival
- The Aviator
- A Beautiful Mind
- The Bourne Identity
- Charlie’s Angels
- E.T.
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall
- Gone Girl
- I, Robot
- Looper
- The Martian
- Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
- The Proposal
- The Rookie
- The Sixth Sense
- Titanic
- Zodiac

Regional Availability and Past Precedents
Availability varies by geographic region. According to The Mac Observer, Apple has also made licensed movies available to subscribers in Canada and the United Kingdom, though the UK catalog features a significantly smaller collection. Apple has not confirmed how long the current batch of licensed movies will remain on the platform. This strategy mirrors a past rollout in March 2024, when Apple added 51 licensed films followed by roughly 30 more titles the subsequent month—collections that remained accessible for only a few weeks before rotating out, as reported by The Mac Observer.
