With a large selection of on-demand movies and TV shows, plus a full lineup of linear channels covering a variety of genres, brands, and formats, it is one of the best free streaming services available. Considering that nearly all pay-per-view streaming services currently include advertising, it seems like a rather minor inconvenience to watch the occasional commercial in order to watch so much content for free.

The sheer volume of free content on Pluto TV can be a bit confusing at first. From conspiracy thrillers to coming-of-age dramas to dark comedies, here are three of the best movies you can stream on Pluto TV right now. [This conspiracy thriller starring Gene Hackman is the best film from director Francis Ford Coppola, who has made many masterpieces, including "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now. Hackman gives his best performance as Harry Cole, a reclusive and paranoid surveillance operative. He is an expert at recording people without their knowledge and assumes that any of such tactics could be used against him.

Harry's extreme caution is justified when he puts himself in the middle of a murder plot and breaks his own rule of not getting involved in his client's affairs. The more Coppola tries to do the right thing amidst the tensions and fears that fuel him, the bigger the problem becomes.

Writer-director Cameron Crowe's coming-of-age drama, inspired by his own experiences as a young reporter for Rolling Stone, could have been a self-indulgent nostalgia trip, but instead is a beautifully and heartfelt, life-affirming story. It's a beautifully crafted film, as Crowe vividly conveys the feeling of being immersed in the 1970s rock scene, making the audience nostalgic for a time and place they themselves had never experienced.

Patrick Fugit plays Crowe's understudy, Southern California teenager William Miller. He gets an unprecedented opportunity to write for Rolling Stone magazine and accompany the fast-rising band Stillwater on tour. William is attracted to Stillwater's big-name frontman Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup), but even more so to hilarious yet melancholy groupie Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), both of whom break his heart in various ways.

A ruthless skewering of teen comedy conventions in the 1980s, this dark high school satire influenced the genre as much as its lighter contemporaries. Winona Ryder and Christian Slater play a pair of delinquents who are attracted to each other and despise the popular clique of girls named Heather.

The pranks initially suggested by Slater's J.D. to Ryder's Veronica grow increasingly violent, but the more chaos they sow among the popular girls, the more power and respect Heather and her friends seem to gain. Writer Daniel Waters and director Michael Lehmann deliver sharply amusing dialogue and a mean-spirited plot, while Ryder and Slater strike the perfect balance between absurdity and genuine anguish in their twisted projection of the teenage experience.
