Warner Bros. Releases 31 Free Movies on YouTube—Here’s the Full List
Movie lovers, rejoice! Warner Bros. has quietly made 31 full-length movies available to stream for free on YouTube. This move allows viewers to enjoy classic and lesser-known films without a subscription, though they do come with ads unless you have YouTube Premium.
Over the years, Warner Bros. has experimented with different ways to make money from its vast catalog of films. It launched FilmStruck, a subscription streaming service, in 2018, but shut it down less than a year later. Since then, the company has focused on licensing movies to free, ad-supported platforms like Roku and Tubi.
Now, Warner Bros. is trying a new approach—releasing movies directly on YouTube. This move allows the studio to generate revenue through digital ads while making films more accessible to a wider audience.
The selection of movies is quite diverse, covering different genres and decades. Some of the highlights include:
- Classic films: Mutiny on the Bounty (1962), The Mission (1986), Michael Collins (1996)
- Action-packed hits: Mr. Nice Guy (1997) starring Jackie Chan, American Ninja V (1993)
- Comedies and cult favorites: Waiting for Guffman (1996), True Stories (1986), Oh, God! (1977)
- Horror and sci-fi: Return of the Living Dead Part II (1998), Dungeons & Dragons (2000), Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane (2007)
- Drama and thrillers: Murder in the First (1995) starring Kevin Bacon and Gary Oldman, The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) starring Tom Hanks
Warner Bros. has created a dedicated YouTube playlist where all 31 movies are available to stream for free. The playlist features a wide range of stars, including Jackie Chan, Ryan Reynolds, Julia Roberts, Sean Connery, and Liam Neeson.
Interestingly, none of these free movies are currently available on Max, Warner Bros. Discovery’s paid streaming service. This suggests that the studio is using YouTube as a way to reach audiences who may not subscribe to premium platforms.
