Apple TV is one of the best streaming services to sign up for if you\u2019re looking for original and high-production movies and shows \u2014 but now the streaming behemoth is switching things up.<\/p>\n
As spotted by 9to5Mac, Apple has added a handful of classic movies to its library of Apple TV originals, and they\u2019re all included in your subscription plan with no additional fees. We don\u2019t know the full list of markets where this promotion is live, though the outlet says it\u2019s available in the US, UK, and Canada so far.<\/p>\n
We also don\u2019t know if this is a limited-time offering, but you can find the collection of non-Apple TV movies under the \u2018Great Movies Available Now on Apple TV\u2019 carousel. Titles are subject to vary depending on region, but the following movies are available to stream on Apple TV in the US now:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s quite an out-of-pocket move for Apple TV, given that it prides itself on housing only original entertainment, and not titles that it doesn\u2019t produce itself.<\/p>\n
Whether it\u2019s the same situation this time around is unclear. So far, Apple hasn\u2019t explicitly stated if this is another limited offer so that gives us a little bit of hope, but we\u2019re keeping our eyes peeled for more information just in case.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a busy time for Apple TV+ right now. The fourth season of one its best shows, Ted Lasso, is finally out, which our Senior Entertainment Reporter Tom Power gave a generous four stars in his review \u2014 not to mention the new miniseries Cape Fear has really taken off. However, it\u2019s not the only streamer that\u2019s shaking things up with its movie library.<\/p>\n
Just this week, Google added over 10,000 movies and TV shows to Google TV Freeplay, a FAST streaming platform baked into supported smart TVs. Additionally, the company expanded its live TV programming, which now includes over 300 free channels across a multitude of genres.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s great to see Apple TV has considered bulking out its library of original movies and shows with third-party titles, but I don\u2019t think platforms like Netflix and Disney+ should worry just yet. As mentioned, this might be another limited offer, but if Apple TV decides to get the ball rolling with introducing non-Apple TV titles to its library, then its rivals should consider sleeping with one eye open.<\/p>\n
Out of all the platforms, Apple TV is the most dedicated to its original productions by a landslide, while Netflix churns out shows and cancels them shortly after. If Apple TV continues to add third-party movies, viewers will have the best of both: quality original programming and classic, feel-good movies. That's when its rivals should start to rethink things.<\/p>\n
