17 Best Streaming Services for Movies

Netflix is only movie-oriented by name (the "flix").  If you like movies, there are other options out there that may be better suited to your tastes. For those who like anime, check out Crunchyroll; if you prefer independent films, look at Kanopy (which you might be able to get for free using your library card); and for cinephiles in general, take a look at either Mubi or Criterion.

Below is a list of the top streaming services that cater best to movie lovers, and which everyone can get. Kanopy, while great, is not included because it's only available through a library.

Our recommended three best streaming services for movies:
Hulu $7.99 Watch
Starz $2.99 Watch
Amazon Prime $8.99 Watch
