Apple has again added a collection of classic movies to Apple TV that subscribers can now stream at no extra cost.

The films are located in a new "Great Movies Available Now on ‌Apple TV‌" carousel inside the ‌Apple TV‌ app. So far, free titles are showing up for subscribers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with the exact selection differing by country. In the U.S., 19 movies are available:

  • 21 Jump Street
  • Arrival
  • The Aviator
  • A Beautiful Mind
  • The Bourne Identity
  • Charlie's Angels
  • E.T.
  • Forgetting Sarah Marshall
  • Gone Girl
  • I, Robot
  • Looper
  • The Martian
  • Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
  • The Proposal
  • The Rookie
  • The Sixth Sense
  • Titanic
  • Zodiac
  • Zoolander


Other countries such as the United Kingdom appear to have much smaller collections of movies, with only six titles available.

These licensed titles sit alongside Apple's own catalog, which now includes more than 300 original productions.

It is not clear whether this is a lasting change to the catalog or a short-term feature. Apple added 51 licensed films under a "Great Movies on ‌Apple TV‌+" label in March 2024, then followed up with roughly 30 more titles the next month, and neither run lasted more than a few weeks.
