Apple TV has made a rare move by adding classic films to its streaming service, known primarily for original series like Ted Lasso and Silo. Around 20 popular movies are now available for subscribers to stream, including The Martian, E.T., The Proposal, The Sixth Sense, Titanic, and Zodiac, as reported by 9to5Mac. Normally these films are only available to buy or rent from the Apple TV Store, but they are now tagged as "Just Added" for free streaming with a subscription.

The Apple TV subscription costs $12.99 per month or $99 a year, with a seven-day free trial available. The service is accessible as a native app on smartphones, tablets, PCs, or an Apple TV streaming device. It is unclear why Apple added these films or how long they will remain available, but the move is likely aimed at boosting engagement, retention, and new subscribers.

Apple's selection spans genres, including The Martian, Arrival, The Bourne Identity, Looper, E.T., The Proposal, I, Robot, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 21 Jump Street, The Sixth Sense, Gone Girl, Zoolander, Zodiac, Charlie's Angels, Titanic, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, A Beautiful Mind, The Aviator, and The Rookie.
