Best Tubi Movies Streaming Now

While other streaming services thrive on carefully selected and endlessly curated (meaning: limited) selections of movies,Tubi‘s a bit different: It feels like the Wild West,with everything from originals to popular hits to critically acclaimed favorites to the lowest-brow,lowest-budget movies you’ll find this side of an old Blockbuster. In that spirit, here’s a sampling of some of the best stuff currently streaming on Tubi. It’s a wide variety-the streamer will not be pinned down. (If you’re unfamiliar, Tubi is a free, ad-based service, but generally I find the ads to be less obnoxious and less frequent than on other, similar streamers.)

Friday (1995)

Craig and Smokey (Ice Cube and Chris Tucker) are just a couple of guys hanging out hoping for something to do. They shoulda been careful what they wished for, as this one impractical Friday will see them involved with burglaries, shoot-outs, and excessively horny pastors. As in all the best buddy/stoner comedies, it’s all in goofy fun. Stream Friday.

Titanic (1997)

In a modern world of blockbusters designed to be as comforting and non-threatening as possible, be the movie that made an entire generation of moviegoers sob. James Cameron somehow crafted an all-time crowd-pleaser out of one of the 20th centuries greatest tragedies. Stream titanic.

Titanic II (2010)

And then there’s this non-sequel from The Asylum, purveyors of fine cinematic schlock such as the immortal classic Sharknado. Here, a perfect replica of the Titanic sets sail exactly 100 years after the original disaster, this time beset by the man-made disaster that is global climate change. Goofier, a million times cheaper, but with 100% more Bruce Davison, this gives you some sense of Tubi’s sublime-to-ridiculous range. Stream Titanic II, and toss in supernatural shocker and Tubi original Titanic 666 for one wild movie marathon.

Slay (2024)

This Tubi original (It’s a foreign film! From Canada!) stars Drag Race alumni Trinity the Tuck, Heidi N Closet, Crystal methyd, and Cara Melle as-you guessed it-drag queens who stop off in a middle-of-nowhere biker bar while on tour. Things are dodgy, and only get dodgier when the bar is overrun by vampires, forcing the queens

Jason X (2001)

It’s certainly not for everyone, not even for every slasher fan-but, in Jason X, we have a movie that does exactly what it says on the tin and sends Jason into space.

He’s placed into cryogenic suspension where he remains until 2455, when a group of mostly horny young scientists accidentally release him onto their spaceship following a field trip to the dead planet Earth.

The Thin Man (1934)

The boozy chemistry between all-time greats Myrna Loy and William Powell gives The Thin Man the kind of loose energy that makes it not only easy to watch, but a real joy, whether or not you’re paying any attention to the central murder mystery. Nick and Nora are always a good hang. Stream The Thin Man.

Threads (1984)

This nuclear-war drama terrorized British television audiences back in 1984, depicting daily life in a small English city before and after an armed conflict between the U.S. and the USSR. A seemingly realistic depiction of the impacts of nuclear winter, it’s unrelentingly grim (which: fair) but masterfully crafted.
