Titanic & Arrival Just Hit Apple TV+ for FREE
Apple TV+ Just Added 19 Classic Movies for Free — Here’s What You Can Watch
TL;DR: The Quick Version
Apple TV+ just dropped 19 popular movies that used to cost extra to rent or buy — and now they’re free with your subscription. Think Titanic, Arrival, The Sixth Sense, Gone Girl, and more. They’re in a new "Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV" section inside the app. Available in the U.S., Canada, and U.K. right now. Might be temporary, so watch while you can!
What Just Happened?
Imagine this: It’s Friday night. You’re scrolling through your streaming apps, find a movie you love, but — ugh — it wants $3.99 to rent or $14.99 to buy. You’ve already seen it ten times! So you give up and watch something else.
Apple TV+ just fixed that problem for a bunch of classics.
Usually, Apple TV+ is known for its original shows and movies (like Ted Lasso or Severance). But now, they’ve added a whole batch of famous older movies that normally live behind a paywall. If you subscribe, you can stream them at no extra cost. They’re tucked into a new carousel (that’s just a fancy word for a scrolling row of posters) called "Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV."

Here’s what’s included right now in the United States:
- The Martian
- Arrival
- The Bourne Identity

Important Things to Know
Heads Up: This Might Not Last Forever
Apple tried something like this a few years ago, and the free movies eventually went back to being rent-or-buy only. No one knows if this is permanent or a limited-time promo. If you’ve been wanting to rewatch Titanic or Arrival, now’s the time to hit play.
