Adam Driver's '65' Headlines a Strong Free-Streaming Weekend on Tubi

Free streaming has quietly become one of the more interesting corners of modern film consumption, and Tubi's rotating catalog continues to surface titles that range from certified classics to under-discussed genre exercises. This weekend — October 24 and 25 — the platform has assembled a trio of films that spans decades, tones, and ambitions, according to ScreenRant.

Adam Driver Takes on Dinosaurs in '65'

The headline pick for anyone with a taste for science fiction is 65, the 2023 feature directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods that casts Adam Driver as Mills, a deep-space pilot from the planet Somaris. After his vessel crashes on an uncharted world, Mills quickly realizes he has landed on Earth — approximately 65 million years in the past. What follows is essentially a survival thriller set against a prehistoric backdrop, with Mills navigating treacherous terrain while protecting a young survivor named Koa, played by Ariana Greenblatt, as the two race toward an escape vessel before a catastrophic asteroid makes the entire effort moot.

Driver brings the same physical commitment and emotional gravity to Mills that has defined much of his post-Marriage Story career. The film is lean and propulsive, its creature sequences — featuring creatures including a pair of Tyrannosaurus rexes and a territorial archosaur — rendered with effects work that holds up well on a home screen. 65 occupies a niche that Hollywood rarely revisits with genuine seriousness: the human-versus-prehistoric-predator film outside the Jurassic Park ecosystem. For genre enthusiasts, it rewards attention.

'Forrest Gump' Remains an Enduring Cultural Touchstone

Robert Zemeckis's Forrest Gump, now three decades old, is currently riding a wave of renewed interest on the platform, sitting at the fourth most-watched title in the United States. The 1994 Best Picture winner, which earned Academy Awards for Zemeckis's direction and Tom Hanks's lead performance in addition to its top prize, is one of those rare studio films that somehow managed to be simultaneously a crowd-pleasing comedy, a sweeping romance, and a meditation on American identity across the latter half of the twentieth century. Its longevity on streaming charts is less surprising than it might seem — films of this particular caliber tend to find each new generation as if on schedule.

Hanks's portrayal of the well-meaning, quietly extraordinary Forrest remains one of the defining screen performances of its era, and the film's ability to balance genuine pathos with warmth has lost none of its power. For viewers who have never seen it, the current trending moment on Tubi represents an ideal entry point.

Tom Holland's MCU Origin Story Completes the Lineup

Rounding out the weekend selection is Spider-Man: Homecoming, Jon Watts's 2017 coming-of-age superhero film that introduced Tom Holland's Peter Parker as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's resident teen hero. The film arrived on Tubi on October 1, alongside Spider-Man: Far From Home, which has been performing particularly strongly — holding the third spot among the platform's most-watched titles — as fans begin the long wait for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, currently slated for a 2026 streaming release.

Homecoming earns its 92% Rotten Tomatoes critics' score through a genuine understanding of the high school film genre, drawing more from John Hughes than from the prior web-slinger franchises. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark provides the film with its emotional throughline, while Michael Keaton's Vulture — grounded, working-class, and quietly menacing — remains among the more thoughtfully constructed antagonists in the MCU's extensive gallery of villains.

A Weekend Worth Clearing the Schedule For

Taken together, the three films represent a surprisingly diverse free-streaming slate. Forrest Gump offers canonical American cinema; Spider-Man: Homecoming delivers the kind of polished superhero entertainment that defined the 2010s; and 65 provides something more unusual — a proper genre film built around a performer of genuine dramatic weight. All three are currently available at no cost on Tubi.
