Every month, dozens or even hundreds of new movie titles are added to the content libraries of nearly every major streaming service, but rather than paying for ever-increasing streaming subscriptions, there are nearly as many free streaming services providing access to their own impressive list of movies. Whether you’re looking for documentaries, comedies or even brand-new originals, free TV services like Tubi, Pluto TV, Freevee or Fawesome provide plenty of options to choose from.
This September on Tubi, you can tune into dozens of modern classics like Set It Off and Boyz N the Hood, or catch originals like the true crime documentary Ms. Murder and the dramatic thriller Toxic Harmony.
Freevee is releasing some great sequels like Jason Bourne and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again as a part of its free movie drop this month, while you can stream thrillers like The Ring on Fawesome. On the Roku Channel, films like I, Tonya starring Margot Robbie, and Bill and Ted Face The Music hit the platform. Pluto TV is dropping ’80s classics like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Plex is rolling out dozens of great titles from the past few years.
Here’s a look at some of the best free movies streaming in September.

Tubi
Tubi’s new original true crime documentary Ms. Murder profiles three women that you’d never suspect could be capable of committing murder… and yet they were. When people around them end up dead, investigations into all of the women turn up shocking revelations, including evidence that they committed the crimes. The doc arrives on Sept. 11.

Freevee
2016’s Jason Bourne is the fifth Bourne movie and the fourth to star Matt Damon as former CIA assassin Jason Bourne. (Jeremy Renner starred in 2012’s The Bourne Legacy as a different operative.) In the final Bourne film to date, Jason Bourne learns that his connection to Operation Treadstone, the program where he trained to become an assassin, was actually developed by his own father. Julia Stiles, Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander and Vincent Cassel all co-star in the film which arrives on Freevee Sept. 20.
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (Sept. 30)
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again has a lot less Meryl Streep than the first Mamma Mia! but it also has a lot more Lily James and a brief, campy, instant-classic cameo from Cher to make up for it. The film, which takes place a few years after the original, spans two timelines as we see James play a younger version of Streep’s Donna, and how she ended up making a life for herself in Greece with her daughter (played by Amanda Seyfried).

Pluto TV
The John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off glorified the idea of stopping to look around once in a while, lest you miss out on life. (That’s a nicer way of saying that it glorified skipping school and thwarting authority.) The 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara and Alan Ruck is one of dozens of new titles available throughout the month on Pluto.
No Country for Old Men, the 2007 Academy Award-winner for Best Picture, is another great title available on Pluto this month. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the neo-Western thriller stars Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem, who won an Oscar for his role as hitman Anton Chigurh, memorable as much for his excessive violence as his haircut.

The film is now available to stream for free on The Roku Channel.

Plex
Christian Bale managed to morph into Dick Cheney for his portrayal as the one-time vice president in Adam McKay’s scathing black comedy Vice, about Cheney’s ascent to the second highest office in the land. The film is one of many new titles that are new – and free – on Plex this month.
Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve, stars Emily Blunt as an FBI agent working alongside another agent, played by Josh Brolin, to combat the drug cartels and escalating conflict at the U.S.-Mexico border. Benicio del Toro and Victor Garber co-star in the film, which is available this month on Plex.
Fawesome
While Shutter Island isn’t a horror movie, it’s got the perfect vibe to jump-start spooky season. Based on the Dennis Lehane novel, the film brings star Leonardo DiCaprio back together with director Martin Scorcese for a psychological thriller about a U.S. Marshal investigating the disappearance of a patient from a psychiatric facility known as Shutter Island.
