Even if you love watching movies in theaters, we’re guessing you won’t turn down free movies—and Plex is betting on that. The company that started as a media server project is all about the world of FAST (free, ad-supported television) content (or in this case, since we’re talking about movies, that would be FASM).
And Plex’s latest batch of free movies is pretty strong, as they’ve added 13 movies to watch, with the latest dropping just yesterday (March 15). This movie is the highly divisive Spring Breakers from A24. It stars Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine as four college-aged girls who break the confines of their studies to go on an epic spring break trip to St. Petersburg, Florida.
There they meet a peculiar and boastful drug dealer played by James Franco (who apparently riffs on rapper Riff Raff). As with most of director Harmony Korine’s films, Spring Breakers is far from a film we would recommend to everyone. Its neon-drenched vibes and focus on bikini-clad bodies won’t sit well with some people, and we get that.
We don’t currently list Plex as one of the best free streaming services, and that may be an omission that we’ll correct soon. Like Pluto TV and The Roku Channel, Plex offers tons of movies, TV shows, and linear channels that you can watch without paying.
And our favorite title on this month’s list is Martin Scorsese’s 1999 film Bringing Out the Dead, starring Nicolas Cage as a New York paramedic in dire need of a break. The film is gorgeous (as you’d expect from Scorsese) and boasts a phenomenal supporting cast including Patricia Arquette, John Goodman, Ving Rhames and the late Tom Sizemore.
We also recommend the Stellan Skarsgård-led In Order of Disappearance, where the star plays a snowplow driver seeking revenge for his murdered son. Another good Plex choice is the sci-fi thriller Europa Report starring Sharlto Copley (District 9) and Michael Nyqvist (John Wick).
Do you need free TV? Well, Pluto TV just added 10 new free TV channels and Roku just got 16 new free TV channels.
