If subscription streaming services aren’t your thing, there are some incredible films that you can watch for FREE right now, on BBC iPlayer. You can find some fantastic films including some critically acclaimed gems that are guaranteed to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. It’s time to get comfy, grab some snacks, and leave the stress of preparing for Christmas behind.
I recommend The Babadook, Citizen Kane, Fish Tank, It Follows, Lynn + Lucy, Morvern Callar, Night of the Living Dead, Paranormal Activity, and Twelve Monkeys. Enjoy!
