With so many streaming services offering exclusive content that you can only watch on their platform, it’s amazing how quickly the bills pile up for subscriptions to Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ and others.
But do you know how many streaming sites will allow you to watch movies without any fees? Watch with Us has you covered for your weekend movie plans with three great movies you can watch without spending a dime.
‘Something’s Gotta Give’ (2003)
This romantic comedy from Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride) takes the custom of older men dating much younger women and flips it on its head by featuring a couple who are — gasp — roughly the same age! But their road to love is far from easy.
Jack Nicholson is Harry, a successful businessman who only dates women under 30. He and his latest 29-year-old girlfriend (Amanda Peet) go to spend a weekend at her family’s beach house, only to find her mother, Erica (Diane Keaton), and aunt (Frances McDormand) are already there. When a heart attack forces Harry to stay put at the house with Erica for a few weeks, they find themselves falling in love. Meanwhile, Erica also starts receiving attention from Harry’s charming young doctor (Keanu Reeves).
Something’s Gotta Give is full of witty dialogue, laugh-out-loud physical comedy (just wait for Keaton’s nude late-night walk) and of course, the elegant kitchens Meyers has become known for. It uses many of your favorite rom-com tropes, but builds on them with a unique premise and a warm heart.
Watch Something’s Gotta Give on Pluto TV.
‘The Lego Movie’ (2014)
“Everything is awesome” in this groundbreaking family film, which stars Chris Pratt as Emmet, a perfectly unexciting Lego construction worker guy. When he meets Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), he gets drawn into a mission to stop the evil Lord Business (Will Ferrell), who wants to eliminate all creativity in Lego World.
This wildly imaginative movie is all about the power of playfulness and the way adults can often lose their ability to create a world without limits. The all-star voice cast also features Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Liam Neeson and more cameos than you can count. If you haven’t shown this movie to your kids yet, you absolutely must. For the childless among us, it’s still worth watching — your inner kid will love it, too.

‘Across the Universe’ (2007)
With new Beatles biopics starring Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan and Harris Dickinson on the horizon, our minds can’t help but turn to another Fab Four-inspired film. Across the Universe is a musical from The Lion King’s Broadway director, Julie Taymor, set to the songs of The Beatles.
The story follows Jude (Jim Sturgess), an artist and shipyard worker from Liverpool who comes to the U.S. in the 1960s to find his father. Along the way, he meets Max (Joe Anderson) and his sister Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). The trio moves to New York City and joins a group of artists and musicians living in the Bohemian enclave of Greenwich Village.
Almost every character in the film is named after a Beatles song, and the script is full of Easter eggs for devoted fans. The musical sequences have a trippy ‘60s vibe that will transport and transfix you. The movie also features cameos from rockers like Joe Cocker and Bono. In the words of a particularly psychedelic song in the movie, “a splendid time is guaranteed for all.”
