YouTube added 1,500 free movies, Good Luck in finding them

YouTube recently added a bunch more movies and TV shows for its U.S. users to stream for free, provided you’re willing to sit through some ads.

While YouTube has offered free, ad-supported movies before, this is the first time it has branched out to TV shows. YouTube’s updated catalogue of free content now includes over 1,500 movies and 100 television shows, such as 10 Things I Hate About YouThe SandlotRobin Hood: Men In TightsLegally Blonde and many more.

Few added films are technically new to YouTube, depending on your definition of the term. For example, Legally Blonde was previously free to stream with ads in 2018, though it later left the platform and is just returning now.

However, YouTube has also made browsing its free titles difficult and users would need to scroll to the end in order to find them. Users also cannot filter to find free movies or TV shows.

“YouTube is personalized to users, so instead of seeing the entire library at once in the links, users see personalized selections for them,” a YouTube spokesperson told “Once users begin watching or when new titles cycle in or out, the makeup of the selection in the shelves will change.”

Viewers can use its search bar to look for titles, as well as browse through content in some sections which contain different content. However there’s no section only listing all of YouTube’s free films or television shows, giving users no option but to trust that YouTube knows best what they should watch.

You can see and search all 1,500 free movies and 100+ shows and the titles live across the Movies & Shows section, your home page, and the watch next selection — all of which are personalized,” said the YouTube spokesperson.

This service is currently available in USA only.
