The A.V. Club's franchise finder: Where to stream The Matrix, Indiana Jones, Fast & Furious, and more
Film Features X-Men
Streaming libraries expand and contract. Algorithms are imperfect. Those damn thumbnail images are always changing. But you know what you can always rely on? The expert opinions and knowledgeable commentary of The A.V. Club. That’s why we’re scouring both the menus of the most popular services and our own archives to bring you these guides to the best viewing options. With this piece, we’re trying something different: As a wider array of movie studios move their libraries to platforms owned by their parent companies, the question of where certain films from certain franchises are streaming grows increasingly complicated. Why license a fan favorite when you can bring those fans in as new subscribers? Perhaps because you produced a popular fantasy series and you signed a nine-year exclusive agreement with a rival’s TV arm before HBO Max or Peacock were ever a glimmer in your eyes?
With that in mind, we’ve selected a handful of the biggest movie series of the past 40-odd years, and to the best of our ability, tracked down which subscriptions you’d need to watch them. We’ve also noted who owns each franchise, so you might know where to go looking when they inevitably leave their current streaming homes.

I think everyone should own the Twilight series. I’ve seen the entire thing 5 times, and every time is like watching a tractor trailer crash into DisneyWorld: it’s just a beautiful disaster.I don’t think I’ve watched it this year, and may have to reconcile this by bingeing it this weekend.

I’m tellin ya, man, there’s a kind of beauty in the awfulness of the whole thing. It’s like watching a man devolve into an ape.People say The Room with Tommy Wiseau is “so bad it’s good”, but it’s not. It’s so bad it’s total shit. It’s unwatchable garbage.Twilight, though, is a beautifully shot movie that is straight trash. It’s like a terrible soap opera. It’s perfect in its awfulness.
HOW MANY DISNEYWORLD CRASHES HAVE YOU SEEN
Or people can go to https://www.justwatch.com/ to find anything they want and avoid pointless slideshows
I love JustWatch, but to get all the info in this article would require more than a hundred JW searches.
Given Halloween is coming up, I feel like this list could’ve done with more horror/thriller franchises:Final Destination? Omen? Halloween? Scream? Scary Movie? Jaws? Friday the 13th? Evil Dead? Predator?… And of course … American Pie! (I mean, some most of those sex scenes were straight up horrific!)
Like brand A responded, I’m shocked that A stay At home mom is able to earn $7047 in one month on the computer. have you read this web site http://www.jobs87.com
..unless you’re outside the US where the only way to watch these is to torrent the damn things..
I just rewatched Back to the Future 2 and 3. Wow – really great movies. I remember not liking 3 but appreciated it a lot more seeing it again.
Thanks for this. But what about Logan? You left that out of the X-Men section. Did Disney put it on Hulu, or is there a streaming deal for it that predates the Fox buyout?Ditto for Deadpool even though it’s unofficially part of the X-Men franchise.(No one cares what Disney did with the three Fantastic Four movies)
Logan seems to be without a streaming home for some reason
No listing for James Bond? Also, Logan under the X-Men entry.
I remember the brief period when Netflix reigned supreme and I actually thought to myself “wow, guess I don’t have to buy DVDs anymore.”

Okay, but who is streaming the last three twilight movies, the 50 shades portion?
Most (if not all) of the Hunger Games movies are streaming for free with ads on IMDB TV.
