Welcome to Flavorwire’s streaming movie guide, in which we help you sift through the scores of movies streaming on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and other services to find the best of the recently available, freshly relevant, or soon to expire. It’s a big weekend for crashing on the couch and clearing out your Netflix queue, so for the occasion, we’ve got great stuff from Ryan Gosling, Daniel Craig, Steve Martin, Kristen Bell, John Candy, Judi Dench, Jeff Garlin, Michael Cera, Kristen Scott-Thomas, John Cusack, Frank Langella, and more. Check them out after the jump, and follow the title links to watch them right now.
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
A day late, sure, but that’s what’s great about Planes, Trains: it’s set on Thanksgiving, so it’s technically a Thanksgiving movie, but it’s so heart-warming and fall-down funny, you can watch it pretty much any day of the year. And if you’re in the midst of your holiday travel nightmare, there’s certainly something to relate to here—if nothing else, live vicariously through Steve Martin’s notorious encounter with the rental car lady (above). (Streaming free for Amazon Prime members.)
