I know piracy will be 90% of the answer here and I agree but I am watching with people that insist on legal viewing.

I search here to find what is apparently available, then do decision making from there

Edit:

Plex has a similar functionality to suggest streaming services, so you can in theory build a list to watch and be given leads

Edit 2:

Letterboxd does as well!

This seems to be the best solution. It lets you select country and it even has all the local apps indexed.

Searching by language was locked behind a subscription which infuriated me but I guess subscribing to a service so that you can know what service you should subscribe to seems about right for 2024.

This one is my favorite. Even my go to app for checking where movies might be and saving lists

Letterboxd uses justwatch to tell you where a movie is available. If your a paying customer you can filter things by streaming service.

Very light weight solution but doesn’t seem to allow for selecting country so it’s probably america-centric.

Click the three lines and click settings. Then you can choose a default country. First time using this tool so can’t advocate for it but you can absolutely change countries very easily.

I stand corrected. If it indexed more services it would have been the best option.

JustWatch does a decent job of telling you if a specific movie is on any of the streaming services. For example, I just searched for the movie Tombstone and apparently it’s on Apple TV+, Hulu, and AMC’s service.

It’s not always accurate, so take everything it says with a grain of salt, but it’s better than nothing.

I use it very regularly and find it to be completely reliable if you use the web version. If you use the app version, it will leave a lot of options out.

I’ll pitch in since no one’s mentioned Reelgood.com yet. Justwatch has been inconsistent for me in the past.

Unfortunately they only seem to service English speaking countries and I am not in any of those. I guess they did smaller scope for better accuracy.

Justwatch’s website is great, but their app is garbage.

Just search “Where to stream ‘show’ in ‘country’” there are a lot of sites out there that catalog which services have which media and usually include a record of where you’ve been able to find them historically and when, if it’s been announced, a streaming service will lose that media.

Thats what I do when I know what I want to watch but I don’t always know what I want, especially when trying to agree with a bunch of other people with different taste.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
