While Apple TV+ is best known for its TV shows, the streamer’s library of original movies continues to expand. 2024 saw the releases of Argylle, Fly Me to the Moon, The Instigators, Wolfs, and Blitz. With Oscar season approaching, it’s noteworthy that Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win Best Picture with 2021’s CODA, a heartfelt coming-of-age drama about a child of deaf adults (CODA) who aspires to become a singer.

Should users choose to continue using Apple TV+ after the free weekend, the monthly price is $10.
