Best Sites to Watch French Films
1. Netflix
One can’t write a post about watching French films online without mentioning Netflix.

Netflix offers a little over 150 French language titles. It’s completely possible to turn off the subtitles on (most of) these, but the only titles Netflix has that can support French subtitles are…American titles. So, if you want a little extra reading practice while you binge watch your favorite Netflix TV shows, pop those on when applicable.

2. Hulu
What makes Hulu one of the best places to watch French films is its catalog of over 700 Criterion Collection titles. If you’re unfamiliar with the Criterion Collection, it’s a collection of classic films from around the world (art house, historically significant and otherwise). Since France is one of the cornerstones of world cinema, there are lots of French films in the collection.

In addition to pretty much every classic French film you need to watch in order to be an expert on the subject, there’s also a sizable collection of modern French films and even a few French TV shows like “Spiral” (an investigation drama).

3. YouTube
YouTube is a fantastic resource for learning French. But it goes beyond French tutorials and stand-up comedy. Fun fact: you can rent movies on YouTube, and the selection is fantastic.

Streaming in HD, you can rent movies for around $2.99, which is a great way to rent considering the best option for finding French films—going to a locally-owned video store—is a thing of the past. Make it a special occasion and find a friend (French-speaking or not) who’s willing to watch foreign masterpieces and get that popcorn popping!

There’s one downside to using YouTube—not all titles give you subtitle options. But, I suppose you could just avert your eyes from the annoying English text on the bottom of the screen. An easy fix, in my opinion.

4. iTunes
If you’re going on a trip and need to load up your devices with movies, iTunes is a great way to access French films. You can rent them for around $2.99-$4.99 per film, or buy them to have and to hold forever (for around $9.99-$19.99). They have a very large selection, including timeless classics and newer releases in French cinema. Your odds will be the best with iTunes if you’re looking for a specific French title and can’t find it elsewhere.

Another plus with iTunes is that you often have more control over subtitles compared to other sites. Once it’s on your device, you can enable or disable the subtitles and in some cases put on French subtitles.

In short, iTunes may not be the cheapest option for watching French films online, but it can be convenient and it’s the best way to add certain titles permanently to your catalog of French content.

5. Amazon video

Similar model to iTunes! Rentable French films.

Enjoy watching the best French movies of all time! #frenchfilms #frenchcinema #frenchmovies
