Movies

A list of Family-Friendly Movies & TV Shows which can be streamed FREE (mostly on the Tubi app – for Android or Apple – Caution: Tubi has lots of bad stuff too). Registration is required to use the Tubi app – but it’s free & has commercials.

Every episode of my favorite show “The Chosen” can be seen (without commercials!) at BYU TV – either by streaming directly from the website ByuTv.org or by using their app. (instructions and download links Here) Registration is NOT required to either stream directly from the BYU TV website or to use the BYU TV app.

Everything on BYU TV is very family friendly. They don’t have as many shows as Tubi – but they do have some really good ones like “The Chosen” & “Granite Flats” (with Christopher Lloyd – who played the professor in Back to the Future).

Very Family Friendly:

(i.e. Rated G or PG – the order in the list reflects how interesting I find the show)

• The Chosen (TV series 2017- ) – super show on the life of Christ (BYUTv)
  
  
• Every Song Tells a Story (2014) – Randy Bachman plays the songs & tells the very funny stories about how he wrote each song (Tubi)
  
  
• Granite Flats (TV Series 2013-2015) – secret govt. project & spies – with Christopher Lloyd (who played the Professor in “Back to the Future”) (BYUTv)
