Platforms like Tubi, Pluto TV and even YouTube carry thousands of quality free movies in their libraries. This December, Watch With Us is highlighting some of the best.

Whether you want a big-budget comedy like Barbie or a prestige superhero movie like Batman Begins, you can watch it all for free at your fingertips.

New on Tubi in December 2025 — The Full List of All the Free Movies and TV Shows

Barbie (Margot Robbie) lives in the perfect dreamworld of Barbieland, where Barbies hold positions of power while all the Kens have to do is spend their days at the beach. However, when Barbie starts to experience an uncharacteristic existential crisis, she learns she must travel to the real world to see what’s going on with the girl who’s playing with her. Accompanied by a Ken (Ryan Gosling), Barbie searches for her owner while Ken gets some unsavory ideas about a newfangled concept called “the patriarchy.”

The Barbie phenomenon was certainly helped a bit by the “Barbenheimer” double-feature craze back in 2023, but make no mistake — Barbie is a fantastic and ingenious comedy film with or without the help of Christopher Nolan. Robbie and Gosling are the film’s standouts (Gosling in particular able to show off his comedic chops), but the entire cast works wonders: Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu and Michael Cera all give hilarious performances.

Thirty-five years following the events of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, Blade Runner 2049 stars Ryan Gosling now stars in this sequel as LAPD Officer K, who hunts down and kills rogue replicant models — while also being a replicant himself. When K discovers a box containing shocking information following a mission, it threatens to destabilize the relationship between humans and replicants. K’s discovery is linked to missing blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), whom he goes on a quest to find.

While Blade Runner 2049 didn’t do so great at the box office, it was critically acclaimed and received a number of Academy Award nominations, winning two: Best Cinematography for Roger Deakins and Best Special Visual Effects. Ultimately, director Denis Villeneuve (Dune) expands upon Blade Runner in thoughtful and exciting ways, and the film manages to be an impressive visual feat distinct from the original as well.

The final installment in Daniel Craig‘s iteration as James Bond sees 007 finally leading a peaceful life in Jamaica, having since left active service in MI6. But, of course, that respite is merely momentary, and Bond is pulled back into his former work when an old CIA friend (Jeffrey Wright) shows up in need of his help. Bond must rescue a kidnapped scientist, but the mission becomes more arduous than expected and sends him down a dangerous path.

This epic conclusion to Craig’s chapter as Bond was met with warm response from fans and critics, praising the film not only for its exciting action sequences and slick style, but its ability to oscillate between comedy, drama, horror and romance with ease. In the end, the thrilling and visually stunning film is a fitting sendoff to Craig that ends up being far more moving than most people might expect.

This Batman origin story follows Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) from developing a fear of bats to his parents’ grisly murders, to his time in Bhutan training with the League of Shadows. But when he discovers the League’s intent to destroy the “corrupt” Gotham, he returns to the city intent on cleaning up crime sans killing. With the help of his butler (Michael Caine) and tech expert Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), Batman takes on bad guys like the Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy).

Christopher Nolan’s take on Batman is credited with having revitalized the character after the poor showing in Batman & Robin from 1997. Nolan moved away from the camp of Joel Schumacher and the gothic kink of Tim Burton and turned Batman into a prestige drama film — and it paid off. Critics applauded Batman Begins for understanding the core of the character while bringing him into exciting and intelligent new territory. In the end, Batman Begins spawned a legendary trilogy.

The grand conclusion to the John Wick story (or is it?), John Wick: Chapter 4 follows the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 —Parabellum. Wick (Keanu Reeves) hides out in New York City with the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) as he recovers from having been shot. Now seeking revenge against the High Table, who want him dead, the price on Wick’s head grows higher and higher. But Wick’s final battle now goes global, as he finds himself targeted by assassins around the world in service of a powerful enemy.

5 Great Movies to Watch in Pluto TV’s “Holidays Are Brutal” Collection

John Wick: Chapter 4 manages to be more grandiose, violent and excessive than the previous three John Wick films, and yet the movie doesn’t suffer for it. Instead, this fourth film in the action franchise proves that there can never be too much when it comes to watching Keanu Reeves’ kick people’s butts. With fantastic set pieces, mesmerizing fight choreography, and genuinely solid performances, John Wick: Chapter 4 stands as a highlight in modern action blockbuster filmmaking.

FBI’s Jeremy Sisto Says ‘Scary’ Fall Finale Has Jubal at ‘Center of the Storm’

As FBI heads into its winter hiatus, Jeremy Sisto warns that Jubal’s team is in for an “exciting” and “horrible” case with many twists and turns.

“It’s scary,” Sisto, who plays ASAC Jubal Valentine, exclusively told Us Weekly of the show’s two-part fall finale airing on Monday, December 15.

He teased that Jubal is “at the center of the storm in this one,” and so is his son, Tyler (Caleb Reese Paul).

Monday’s double feature begins with “Lone Wolf,” which, according to Sisto, 51, starts with the FBI team being alerted to a crime by the tip line, “which is not something [that] usually leads us anywhere.”

FBI’s Alana De La Garza Explains Isobel’s Job Decision, What’s Next for Jubal

Sisto revealed that FBI analyst Kelly Moran (Taylor Anthony Miller) has an “instinct” about one of the calls, and “heads out with our agents, and they find three dead sex workers.”

Throughout the episode, the special agents discover that the murderer has connections to a “radical accelerationist movement that is committed to resetting society because it’s gotten so, so rotten.”

The actor explained that the terrorist group’s “plan is big” and includes “disrupting cell and internet connectivity,” which impacts how Jubal and the team investigate. “[It’s] very frustrating when you get disconnected, but even worse when you’re trying to stop further damage [from happening],” Sisto shared.

Which ‘FBI’ Stars Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 8?

“It rises to a pretty drastic, pretty dramatic threat,” Sisto told Us, noting all of the agents become “concerned” with their families “being in the wrong place at the wrong time when there is an active threat.”

That threat hits especially close to Jubal, whose high-school aged son is “in the city for the day with a friend” as the events unfold.

“[He’s] just hoping he’s not at the wrong place, at the wrong time,” Sisto said of his character’s arc, teasing that fans should pay special attention to Tyler and his conversations with dad Jubal in both parts of the fall finale.

Sisto confirmed, “In the beginning, you know something is going to get dirty with this plot,” teasing that in part two, titled “Wolf Pack,” the team must track down the bad guys without their usual communication tools in place.

Even with the disruption to their comms system, Sisto said the team will do their best to “search every square inch” of New York City to find the culprits — but it won’t be without a few mishaps.

“In this particular case, we don’t find them quick enough before some very bad stuff happens,” Sisto explained, hinting that Jubal’s personal connection to the case will be part of the “bad stuff” that transpires.

He teased that the second half of the fall finale is all about “finding [the culprits] before even more horrible things happen.”

“It’s definitely not a victory throughout,” Sisto ominously warned. “That’s why it takes two hours to get through the story. Because there’s some pretty, pretty bad losses along the way.”

FBI’s two-part fall finale airs on CBS Monday, December 15, at 8 p.m. ET. The show will resume with new episodes in February 2026.

VA NJ Governor Races, Mamdani Elected NYC Mayor, California Redistricting

Democrats won two governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey, victories they call a rejection of President Trump’s policies and a sign that economic issues are resonating with voters. New York City elected Zohran Mamdani as its first Muslim mayor, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo in a race that drew record voter turnout. And California voters approved a new congressional map that could give Democrats up to five more House seats in next year’s midterms.

Stefon Diggs Reveals Sex of Baby With Cardi B, Hints She’s Due ‘Soon’

Stefon Diggs is preparing for dad mode as pregnant girlfriend Cardi B’s due date draws closer.

“It’s supposed to happen real soon,” Diggs, 31, told Extra at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday, November 3, teasing when the couple’s little one is due.

The New England Patriots receiver will be new to parenthood, so he asked the reporter and fans to “wish us both luck” on the journey.

Diggs also revealed the sex of his and Cardi’s baby during the New York City event, telling People, “It’s a boy.”

NFL Star Stefon Diggs Reacts to Girlfriend Cardi B’s Pregnancy Reveal

When asked what he’s most excited about once the baby arrives, Diggs said having a son is “enough” for him.

“I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around,” the NFL player added.

Cardi, 33, previously hinted at wanting a baby boy with Diggs on the song “On My Back” from her album Am I the Drama, which dropped in September.

“I be staring in your eyes through the whole day / I swear to God, I hope our kids have your whole face,” the lyrics read. “Take these clothes off and throw ’em on the floor / I told my girl I’m ’bout to give this man a boy / Throw me on my back.”

Pregnant Cardi B Rocks Sheer Dress With Cutouts for 33rd Birthday

Diggs was first linked to Cardi in October 2024 after the rapper filed for divorce from Offset that July. Cardi and Offset, 33, were married six years before their split and share three children: Kulture, 7, Wave, 4, and Blossom, 13 months.

While Cardi initially denied she was dating Diggs, the pair continued to fuel romance rumors. In June, the Grammy winner confirmed her relationship with Diggs via social media by sharing a cozy photo with him on a yacht.

Three months later, Cardi announced her pregnancy with baby No. 4, her first with Diggs. “I am having a baby with my boyfriend,” she told Gayle King during an appearance on CBS Mornings in September. “I’m excited.”

Who Is Stefon Diggs? 5 Things to Know About the NFL Player

Weeks before Cardi confirmed her pregnancy, Diggs responded to a lawsuit filed by Aileen Lopera in December 2024, who claimed that he is the father of her 7-month-old baby girl.

Us Weekly confirmed that Diggs said in a July 17 filing that he was certain he was not the father of Lopera’s daughter, Charliee, who was born on April 2. He requested “genetic testing to determine” whether he is the father and asked the court for joint legal and physical custody of the child if the test proves paternity.

Amid the drama, Diggs has been focused on football, and Cardi has been his No. 1 supporter.

Cardi B Says Stefon Diggs Was ‘Very Respectful’ of Her Past Relationship

The musician was spotted at the Patriots’ home game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 2. Cardi sat next to Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft at Gillette Stadium wearing a burgundy coat that barely covered her growing baby bump.

Cardi later shared a series of photos from the game, which the Patriots won 24-23, via social media, including a snap of Diggs bending down to caress her belly.

“PAT NATION ❤️🤍💙,” she captioned the Instagram upload on Monday.

Diggs replied in the comments section, “Goodluck charmmm huh ? 🙂‍↕️😏💞,” hinting that Cardi’s presence helped the team be victorious.

Charles Spencer Details How He Came Up With Sister Princess Diana’s Eulogy

Charles Spencer is sharing new details on how he crafted his sister Princess Diana’s eulogy at her funeral.

In an interview with Gyles Brandreth on the Friday, October 24, episode of the “Rosebud” podcast, the 9th Earl Spencer, 61, said that the eulogy he had originally planned for Diana’s memorial service in September 1997 was “very different” from what he eventually read.

He explained that he was “in bits” flying back to the U.K. from Cape Town, South Africa, when he started thinking about who could eulogize his sister.

“I had a big, thick address book, and I thought, ‘I want to find someone who’s going to make the speech for her.’ And I got to ‘Z’ and I hadn’t found anyone,” Spencer recalled of the “profoundly emotional moment.”

“[I] got off the plane in Heathrow [Airport], called my mother, I said, ‘I can’t think who’s going to give the eulogy. And I’ve got an awful feeling it’s going to have to be me,’” he continued. “And she said, ‘Well, it is going to be you. Your sisters and I have decided it.’”

Princess Diana’s Brother Charles Spencer Visits Her Grave Almost Daily

Spencer said that he initially decided to write a “very traditional eulogy” about their childhood and such, but then thought, “Well, this is ridiculous, that’s not who she was.”

He said he soon “realized” that the moment called for him not to speak about the late Princess of Wales but to “speak for her.”

“And I knew I’d been left at that stage — it had no legal standing — but I knew she’d left me as guardian of her sons,” Spencer added of his nephews Prince William and Prince Harry, who were 15 and 12 when their mother died at age 36 after a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

“Obviously, the other parent being alive, that meant nothing, but it meant something to me. That sort of duty, I think,” Spencer said, noting that the now King Charles III would obviously be caring for his sons. “And then I wrote [the eulogy] in an hour and a half and, yeah, that was it, really.”

He admitted that he took a “name-check” to Rupert Murdoch out, deeming it “rather unnecessary,” but kept the rest of what he had planned to say in his touching speech.

The eulogy is “one of the most unforgettable moments in recent British history,” according to “Rosebud,” and detailed her selflessness, strength, beauty and love of family. It also spoke to Diana’s mistreatment by the British media.

“She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys, William and Harry, from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair,” Spencer said at the time.

“And beyond that,” he continued, “on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.”

Spencer has been a champion for both William, 43, and Harry, 41, over the years, notably supporting Harry in January after he settled his legal battle with The Sun. The News Group Newspaper, owned by Murdoch, 94, apologized to Harry “for the serious intrusion” of his private life, along with his late mother’s, for decades.

Spencer praised Harry following the victory, writing in an Instagram post at the time, “It takes an enormous amount of guts to take on major media organizations like this, and incredible tenacity to win against them. It’s wonderful that Harry also secured an apology for his mother — she would be immensely touched by this, I’m sure, and also rightly proud. Well done indeed.”

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and have since been in disagreement with his father, William and his wife, Kate Middleton.

Harry and Meghan, 44, now live in California with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

“I enjoy living [in the U.S.] and bringing my kids up here,” the Duke of Sussex said at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit in New York City in December 2024. “It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live and it feels as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me.”
