Crackle is an ad-supported streaming service that Sony Entertainment used to own. Despite changing ownership, the platform still offers over 1,000 movies, including popular titles such as The Aristocrats and Bernie, and nearly 100 television shows. The platform has a lot of junk, but dig through it, and you're sure to find your next favorite movie.
The sidebar shows various movie categories to filter the extensive catalog. It also has a healthy helping of animated shows, reality TV series, action, sci-fi, and thrillers. It's limited to the United States and its territories, and you'll need a VPN to access its content.
