Picture this: you’re getting ready to dive into a deep-fried turkey, or perhaps you’re taking a quick escape to the bathroom to avoid the family chaos while scouting for Black Friday deals. Whatever the case, you’re probably itching for something good to watch this Thanksgiving break. Luckily, I’m here to help with a bunch of stellar recommendations, ranging from classic go-tos to some hidden gems you might not have stumbled upon yet.
I’m betting a lot of folks will tune in to “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which hit Disney+ earlier this month, much like the crowds that filled theaters for it over the summer. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman deliver a hilariously entertaining take on the buddy cop genre, celebrating two decades of comic book movie madness. It’s an absolute blast—full of laughs and thrills. But that’s not our main focus today.
I’ve got a lineup of nine streaming options you can catch for free, available on various streaming services, many of which are offering discounted deals right now. You’ll find everything from sci-fi spectacles to British teen dramas, multi-season series to unique cinematic experiences. Whether you’re proposing these to a room full of relatives or sneaking a solo watch on your phone while chipping in with dish duty, these picks won’t disappoint.
