If you share streaming services with friends and family, you'll know that the biggest benefit of being in a group plan is the saved cost. Upfront, it may be a bit more expensive than an individual plan, but because a group plan allows you to make more than one profile and stream on multiple devices, it makes the price hike worth it if you're sharing an account anyway.

That said, not all streaming services offer shared family plans. And some of those that do make the process kind of complicated. For example, you can only set up family sharing on Apple TV+ via a Mac or iOS device, while sharing a YouTube TV subscription requires users to have their own Google accounts. 

To save you some time, we looked up and gathered the best streaming services that offer shared family plans. These services make it easy for you to share your account while allowing everyone to customize profiles to their liking. Netflix and Amazon Prime remain on top, of course, but read on to see which streamers make the cut on our list.

With hallyu, or the Korean pop culture wave, taking the world by storm thanks to global media phenomena like Parasite and Squid Game, South Korea has become an even greater premier destination for art and entertainment. Korean cinema and television has always been a popular export from the country, but now the trademarks of its movies and shows have become eminently recognizable. Be it their emotionally powerful romances and melodramas, their oddball comedies, or their vicious and violent thrillers, Korean filmmakers have found their own expressive language that resonates across all demographics.

And with the sea of Korean content available to us today, some of their great films might be buried under the algorithms. So here we've selected 10 movies to help keep your hallyu fixation fresh.

When Oscar night is over and awards season has come to an end, only a handful of films really get to share in the spotlight. It's likely that most of the movies that get nominated without winning fade back into obscurity, even if many of them tend to be better than those that actually take home the statue. So to make sure you don't miss out on the host of great films that only stay in the public consciousness until Oscar night, we at agoodmovietowatch have put together a list of underappreciated but highly-rated Oscar nominees that you can watch now on Amazon Prime—which boasts a wide library of older and newer titles, and an even more expansive list of films available for rent or purchase.

The TV miniseries is a special creature. It gets to dive deeper and explore characters at a steadier pace than most feature films, but it also isn't burdened by the pressure of having to sustain itself over the course of multiple seasons and a revolving roster of writers and directors. And for Hulu, we at agoodmovietowatch have found a number of miniseries that use limited, multi-chapter storytelling to explore shifting perspectives and different angles to central mysteries—all without losing their hold on great characterization. The 10 shows we've listed here may not be immediately familiar, but they should prove just as gripping and emotional as any long-running series.

It's clear that streaming services like The Criterion Collection and Mubi, with their tasteful curations and global titles, were created for movie lovers. In fact, thanks to their branding as film-first streamers, they've each built loyal followings that tune in to their latest releases. 

But did you know there are plenty of others like them? Enthusiasts will find plenty to love in our list of the best streaming services for cinephiles right now. Some mainstream names like Max and Amazon Prime are included in this list because of the enviable licensing rights they hold (Max has Warner Bros., Turner, and New Line under its belt, while Amazon has MGM and Orion, among others). But there are also more niche streamers such as Arrow Player and Curia that will surely appeal to indie lovers everywhere. Read on to learn about these streaming services and more. 

It’s remarkable how accessible streaming services have become. Aside from browsers and TVs, they can now be accessed on phones, pads, gaming consoles, and practically any smart device you can think of. But while the hows of streaming are easy enough to figure, the wheres of it sadly remain limited. In fact, most American streaming services can only be used within the country. Hulu is one of the best original-content streamers, but it can only be accessed in the US. Max and Paramount+ have slightly wider scopes since they cover parts of Europe and Latin America, though largely remain unavailable to the rest of the world. 

Luckily, there are several streamers available worldwide. Netflix remains unbeatable with its global coverage, but Disney+ and Apple TV+ closely follow it. Whether you’re a globetrotter or a non-US-based cordcutter hoping to get your money’s worth in subscriptions, you’ll likely find what you’re looking for here. In this list, we rank the best streaming services that are available in more than a hundred countries around the world. 

There's nothing like a good thriller to keep the mind racing and the heart pumping. Even if it has a bit of comedy, horror, or sci-fi mixed into it, the best ones stand out as being gripping through and through. And those are what the films below are: the best thrillers you'll ever find, at least if you're on Hulu.

Sure the streamer has its own thriller category, but it can be daunting to scroll through all that content without context. Besides, we have no stake in promoting their originals, so you can rest assured our list is bias-free. Handpicked and human-curated, the films below are ones that moved and scared and thrilled us to no end, so without further ado, here are the best thrillers you can watch on Hulu right now.

There are some movies that fall flat when you view them alone but absolutely soar when seen with the right people. All of a sudden, the jokes are hilarious, the slow scenes are bearable, and the jump scares, which you found ridiculous a while ago, are now ridiculously fun. These kinds of movies are just so joyous or meaningful or challenging or thrilling (or all of these combined) that it feels like a waste not to share them with friends. So whether you’re looking to have a laugh with your favorite people, engage in a debate with them, or simply find the meaning of friendship onscreen, you’ll be sure to find the perfect watch in our list of the best movies to watch with friends below.

Viewers who love mysteries, dramas, and comedies (especially international ones) may have heard of MHz Choice. This over-the-top and on-demand streaming platform offers more than 2,000 hours of content from around the world, which are split into categories within the platform. 

But while MHz Choice appeals to foreign film fans and ex-pats living in the US and Canada, where it is currently available, it may not satisfy those looking for more mainstream titles or a wider variety of genres to choose from. So if you like the basic idea of this particular streamer but want to see how it stacks with the competition, we've curated a list of the best MHz Choice alternatives, which you can read more about below.

 

Drawing its films from an eclectic mix of sources, and backed by the reach of Disney, Hulu has become a unique place to find original and at times unconventional fare. Take the documentary film: while some networks and streamers lock in on particular types of documentaries—often going the classical route of combining archival footage with talking heads or voiceover narration—Hulu also offers documentaries that are more than happy to play with the form. Through different structures, offbeat characters, and combinations of techniques, these documentaries can help you rethink the very way you think about things.

Fox Sports was was originally founded to accomodate Fox Network's acquisition of NFL broadcasting rights back in 1994. Now you can watch many more leagues, both regular and post season MLB games, as well as NCAA football, NASCAR, College Hoops and the ever-more popular MLS.

As is true for fact-based films from many other streaming services and networks, the HBO documentary has become a brand of its own.

Here at agoodmovietowatch, we've listed the best HBO documentaries available on the network's streaming platform, Max. And while these films might not always make for easy viewing, they're still essential, challenging watches that deserve to break up your usual routine.
