These days, if you’re looking for a good movie to watch, you don’t always have to pay for it. The rise in streaming supported by advertising facilitated that never to access the old favorites, and that includes YouTube, which has its own catalog of free movies in streaming each month.
In July, it is a particularly good month for cinema fans of the 90s, with a bunch of classics of the decade in streaming for free at the moment (we have chosen our favorites, but “Tank girl”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Encino Man” and “Enemy of the State” are also free on Youtube this month).
We have sorted a quick list of the best films streaming on YouTube at the moment, from one of the best animated films ever made to a relatively recent Hulu title which does not savor the action.
The Iron Giant (1999)
Before the Oscars and acclamation of his “Incredible” and “Ratatouille” mega-hoges, Brad Bird made his debut with the 2D animated masterpiece, “The Iron Giant”. Located during the Cold War, the film follows a giant extraterrestrial of the robot which blocks on earth and build a friendship with a young person while the government agents go to destroy it. Despite being an animated film for the whole family, “The Iron Giant” addresses some of the most difficult subjects of life and death: war, mortality, self -determination and sacrifice. It is one of the big ones and there is never a bad time to look at it, just make sure you have fabrics at hand.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
Before “The Batman”, filmmaker Matt Reeves took another emblematic American franchise with “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”. The second film in the newly revised franchise, “Dawn”, followed “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, which was welcomed but very well a set of prequel before the similar influenza destroys humanity and left the world inhabited by intelligent and genetically improved monkeys. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” has accumulated everything and has fully delivered to the world signature of the franchise, with amazing effects and exceptional performance.
Ever after (1998)
Super sweet and fearless, “Every After” is the choice if you are looking for an explosion of fantasy. A reimagination of the Cinderella fairy tale, “Ever After” drops the fantastic elements and drops the spectator in the Renaissance of France, where the kindness of Danielle de Barbarac (Drew Barrymore) was forced in a life of servitude to her fine-sisters and cruel Stepmother (Angelica Huston) … Scott). There is no fairy godmother – instead, Danielle obtains a little help from Leonardo da Vinci – and one of the half -sisters is almost as sweet as Danielle herself, but all the changes “Ever after” bring to the familiar history are only making more engaging.
Point Break (1991)
If it is summer, it must be time for “point break”, the robbery thriller soaked in salt water from Kathryn Bigelow about a surfing gang as the crow flies and the young hot cop who infiltrates them. Patrick Swayze is Megawatt Charming like Bodhi, the tanned Titan of unexpected thieves who conclude a link with Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), ignoring that his new friend is an infiltrated federal agent. Sexy and summer buffoonemeries of cops and dressors follow, with an energy of surfing from the west coast signature of all itself. Bonus points for excellent use of Lori Petty.
Uptown Girls (2003)
One of the great divisions of all time between the public and the critical reaction belongs to “Uptown Girls”, the dramatic of the early 2000s which was almost universally disseminated at the exit and has since become a favorite of its beloved time of its time. The late Brittany Murphy plays the role of a privileged rock heiress that falls into difficult times after his manager steals the remaining money of his father after his death. To get out of it, Molly (Murphy) in a freewheel takes ungrateful work as a nanny to an ultra-right 8-year-old child, Ray (Dakota Fanning). The two have set up a strange and sometimes pure thorny link which gives the “daughters of the uptown” its tender and not reactive heart. In addition, he has one of the most catchy false songs of all time (Well, well, well, Egyptian cotton leaves).
The Princess (2022)
The most recent film on this list, “The Princess” made its debut as an exclusive Hulu in 2022 and started from the service by 2023 when the streamers began to eliminate their original overloaded content. It’s a bit of a spell for a fun film that is so game to deliver a set of action full of action after the next one. Fortunately, “The Princess” has not fully followed some of the old cheepers in the cheese in the nonexistent forgetting and you can catch it in streaming for free now on YouTube. Joey King embodies the princess, trained to be a hell of a fighter, who is forced to defend the castle of her family when she moves away from a cruel marriage to the altar. It is an idiotic and distress heavy watch for those who might want something a little light and full of action this holiday weekend.
The Truman Show (1998)
If you are looking for something a little more existential and acclaimed, “The Truman Show” could be more your speed. The drama nominated at the Oscars of the legendary Australian director Peter Weir (“The year of life dangerously”) features Jim Carrey as a Truman Burbank, a man who is slowly starting to realize that everything about his life is false – all of a developed television program. In “The Truman Show”, you see what a film is really ahead of its time, confronting the aspects of the human experience which very quickly became final of life in the 2000s and beyond. (Vanity Fair summed up the fairly succinct feeling several years ago with their excellent birthday: “20 years later, everything is the Truman show”) It is impossible to overestimate how this film shaken People when he was released, but it is one of the few who strikes even harder with the lived context of what really happened afterwards.
