Want to get a taste of Tenet director Christopher Nolan's jaw-dropping back catalogue? Don't want to pay a penny? Then you're in luck, as right now his WW2 epic is available to stream online for free - as are a number of other award-winning movies, from all-time greats like The Godfather to more recent classics like The Revenant. Read on as we explain how to watch Dunkirk online and stream the full movie for free right now.
Dunkirk is one of the obvious standouts right now. There are a number of great movies to watch free online with the service - more of our top picks are just below - but Nolan's Academy Award-winning war epic might just be our favourite.
That's because of its incredible visual effects and the clever way Nolan imagined cutting-edge filming technology being blended with more traditional techniques. The film used IMAX cameras, sure - but it was the first to deploy them hand-held. And its amazing battleground backdrops weren't the result of CGI wizardry, rather the practical deployment of actual warships, aircraft and some 6,000 extras in France - plus cardboard cut-outs to really hammer home to size of the armies!
First released in 2017, Dunkirk was also notable for being an almost entirely dialogue-free movie, with its impressive ensemble cast headed by relative newcomers Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney and Jack Lowden - in addition to bigger names like Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Kenneth Branagh.
As we've said, though, the biggest selling point is that you can watch Dunkirk online for free right now - courtesy of BBC iPlayer. It'll be on the UK-based streaming platform until Monday, January 25 and you'll find it available to stream here.
