If you’ve grown tired of relentless price hikes from your favorite streaming platforms, it’s nice to know that free TV services like Tubi, Kanopy and Pluto TV can be counted on for all kinds of great shows and movies. Every month, these platforms drop new movies and classic films (and many of them carry great TV shows, too). So if you’re looking for something fun and cheap, there’s no shortage of great stuff to watch.
This July, Tubi’s got some new original movies that look like solid summer fun. First is its spin on the killer shark genre, Great White Waters, which arrives on July 4. You can also catch the horror film Get Off My Lawn about a neighborhood stalker who will stop at nothing in his quest for home ownership. Tubi has Final Destination (and four of its sequels), too — the perfect movie marathon to binge if you still plan to see Final Destination Bloodlines soon.
On Fawesome, why not check out the 1988 version of The Naked Gun — which arrives this month — before you catch the remake with Liam Neeson in theaters later this summer? Leslie Nielsen gives a comedy masterclass with his performance as the absurd and oblivious Lieutenant Frank Drebin.
And if you like dramatic classics, try one of Kanopy’s July releases like Lawrence of Arabia or The Bridge on the River Kwai. All the films listed here arrive on July 1, unless otherwise noted.
Here’s a look at some of the biggest and most interesting titles arriving on streaming — for free — in July.
Tubi
Great White Waters (July 4)
Tubi’s new original Great White Waters combines the most terrifying aspect of Jaws — a killer shark looming, looking for its next prey — with a crime thriller. When millions of dollars worth of cocaine goes missing and is eventually located under the ocean off the coast of Florida, a team is hired to retrieve it for their nefarious boss. The op goes awry when it turns out that a great white shark is guarding the drugs and has no problem chowing down on anyone who dares to swim down to get them.
Get Off My Lawn (July 11)
It’s about time someone came up with a film called Get Off My Lawn, isn’t it? In this new Tubi horror, a young couple (Tahj Mowry and Camila Banus) who have just bought their first house in a well-to-do neighborhood are terrorized by a local teenager (Jonah Hwang) who claims that the home, which belonged to his grandfather, should rightfully be his. Turns out, there aren’t enough gates in this gated community to keep them safe from his deranged and violent ways.
