11 Movies to Stream in February

One (or more) lesser-known gem for each of the major VOD services.

Over the year and a half of its existence, the Watch List has mostly focused on movies you can pay to see in theaters or rent for on-demand viewing at home. I don’t spend enough time, really, on films that are streaming for “free” on services you may already subscribe to. The good thing is that the first of the month always brings a fresh crop of titles, new and old, as VOD rights “windows” kick in for a set time-period. Since February has a not-unwarranted reputation as a duff month for new releases, here are eleven good movies (okay, ten good movies and one entertainingly terrible one) that have just become available for no-extra-cost streaming on the major platforms. (Most are also available for a rental fee on other services; check with www.justwatch.com.)
