Both films are included in the Watch With Us team’s selection of the top free movies available on YouTube.

‘There Will Be Blood’ (2007)

There Will Be Blood is regarded as one of the finest works from director and screenwriter Paul Thomas Anderson. This film was pivotal in helping Daniel Day-Lewis secure his second Academy Award for Best Actor. Day-Lewis portrays Daniel Plainview, a ruthless oil magnate from the early 20th century, whose adoption of H.W. (Russell Harvard) is cynically motivated by a desire to attract investors.

Plainview’s empire faces difficulties when he acquires land owned by Paul and Eli Sunday, both played by Paul Dano. A cascade of misfortunes follows, hindering Plainview’s ambitions and causing harm to H.W. and others. This marks only the beginning of the reckoning for Plainview, as the numerous enemies he has accumulated over the years come to settle their scores.

There Will Be Blood is available to stream on YouTube.

‘The Mask of Zorro’ (1998)

In 1998, director Martin Campbell successfully modernized the character of Zorro, making him appealing to today’s audiences. The Mask of Zorro revitalizes the legendary hero, casting Anthony Hopkins as Don Diego de la Vega, the original Zorro. After years of protecting California, Zorro’s identity is revealed, and he is captured by his nemesis, Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson), who takes his infant daughter, Elena.

Two decades later, Don Diego escapes and meets the thief Alejandro Murrieta (Antonio Banderas), who has his own vendetta against Montero. Under Don Diego’s mentorship, Alejandro dons the Zorro persona, and they plan their revenge. Complications arise when a now-grown Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) enters the picture, along with nefarious schemes for California.

The Mask of Zorro is available to stream on YouTube.

‘Labyrinth’ (1986)

Labyrinth might have surprised Muppet fans with its darker themes when it debuted in 1986. While it struggled at the box office initially, the film has since become a cult classic over the past four decades. Jim Henson’s creations appear throughout, yet the two lead actors, Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, bring an emotional depth that enriches the experience.

Connelly plays Sarah Williams, a young girl who is resentful of her infant half-brother, Toby (Toby Froud). However, she didn’t truly wish for the goblin king Jareth (Bowie) to whisk Toby away from her life. To rescue her brother, Sarah must navigate Jareth’s labyrinth in a race against time—fail, and her brother becomes a goblin, leaving Sarah trapped in the world of goblins forever.

Labyrinth is available to stream on YouTube.

‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ (1961)

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is celebrated as one of the greatest romantic comedies of all time and is one of Audrey Hepburn’s iconic roles. Hepburn stars as Holly Golightly, a woman who masks her less glamorous life beneath the façade of a sophisticated socialite. George Peppard plays Paul Varjak, a writer who moves into Holly’s building and becomes her friend.

As they each grapple with past and present relationships, both are hiding their true selves. With walls built around their hearts, their chances of discovering real love seem to diminish.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is available to stream on YouTube.

‘The Report’ (2019)

The Report is a political drama/thriller inspired by the true events surrounding the Senate’s investigation into the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation” techniques that followed the 9/11 attacks. Under the direction of Senator Dianne Feinstein (Annette Bening), Senate investigator Daniel Jones (Adam Driver) conducts an extensive inquiry into the agency’s actions and its attempts to suppress the findings.

Despite facing numerous obstacles, Jones builds a compelling case against the CIA. The agency, however, responds with intimidation tactics, threatening Jones with criminal charges that could jeopardize his investigation and career.
