Apple TV Gains Classic Movies Collection

Apple has again added a collection of classic movies to Apple TV that subscribers can now stream at no extra cost.

Apple TV Color
The films are located in a new "Great Movies Available Now on ‌Apple TV‌" carousel inside the ‌Apple TV‌ app. So far, free titles are showing up for subscribers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with the exact selection differing by country. In the U.S., 19 movies are available:

  • 21 Jump Street
  • Arrival
  • The Aviator
  • A Beautiful Mind
  • The Bourne Identity
  • Charlie's Angels
  • E.T.
  • Forgetting Sarah Marshall
  • Gone Girl
  • I, Robot
  • Looper
  • The Martian
  • Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
  • The Proposal
  • The Rookie
  • The Sixth Sense
  • Titanic
  • Zodiac
  • Zoolander

Other countries such as the United Kingdom appear to have much smaller collections of movies, with only six titles available.

These licensed titles sit alongside Apple's own catalog, which now includes more than 300 original productions.

It is not clear whether this is a lasting change to the catalog or a short-term feature. Apple added 51 licensed films under a "Great Movies on ‌Apple TV‌+" label in March 2024, then followed up with roughly 30 more titles the next month, and neither run lasted more than a few weeks.

"classic movies" in my mind are from 1950s and earlier, maybe some 60s but certainly not any of those in that list ... maybe I'm just old

Apple has done several alienating things, like the removal of the headphone jack or the butterfly keyboard, but calling the "Arrival" a great movie is probably their worst offense yet.
Seriously? On a list that includes The Proposal and Charlie's Angels, you call out Arrival? That's arguably the best movie on this list.

Are they going to censor Titanic?
The boat won't sink in the Apple version.

I was kind of surpised with all their money that they didn't buy a studio like WB when it was available, just to get the movies and rights etc.
