With Binge and Foxtel in the process of being acquired and a local launch of Max looming on the horizon, it's a weird time to try and track down and stream anything attached to Warner Bros.
What's more, it's getting weirder by the day. About a month back, the storied studio behind Hollywood hits like Batman, Harry Potter and Dune started uploading its back catalog to a YouTube channel.
The library here isn't huge, but is eclectic. There's indie gems, a handful of horror flicks and a classic or two. At the time of writing, you can find just shy of two dozen films to watch on the Warner Bros YouTube channel. The full list list includes:
- The 11th Hour
- The Wind and the Lion
- True Stories
- Crossing Delancey
- The Bonfire of the Vanities
- Return of the Living Dead Part II
- Lionheart
- Mutiny on the Bounty
- The Science of Sleep
- Murder in the First
- The Accidental Tourist
- City Heat
- December Boys
- SubUrbia
- Flight of the Living Dead
- Waiting for Guffman
- Critters 4
- Mr. Nice Guy
- Michael Collins
- Chaos Theory with Ryan Reynolds
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Price of Glory
The main selling point here is that you don't pay a cent to watch any of the above. You don't even have to sign into YouTube, though you will be in for a few ads if you aren't signed up for YouTube Premium.
Still, in a time when every streaming service seems to be raising it's prices it's nice to see that there are still some options out there for those looking to save a few bucks. It ain't the place to go for the latest and greatest but if you're looking for something to watch for free on a Friday night then it might be worth taking a look to see what Warner Bros YouTube channel has to offer.
