Looking to watch something off the beaten path? Let Watch With Us be your guide down your new route.
Let’s face it: there’s an over-saturation of the most popular, most mainstream movies on streaming services, and there’s less of a push to showcase the smaller films that very much exist on the same platforms.
This is exactly what Watch With Us is for, and we’re here to highlight some lesser-known gems that you can watch — in some places, for free.
Our first pick is Norwegian-language black comedy Sick of Myself, from the director of the upcoming movie The Drama starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
5 Best Drama Movies to Watch in February 2026, Ranked by Rotten Tomatoes Score
‘Sick of Myself’ (2022) — Mubi
Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) and Thomas (Eirik Sæther) are in an unhealthy, competitive relationship, with Signe increasingly jealous over the attention that Thomas has begun getting for his artwork made out of stolen furniture. When Signe intervenes during a dog attack at her job, she realizes she can get attention from her own pain and suffering — so, she intentionally makes herself into a victim, poisoning herself so she can generate sympathy. But how far, exactly, will Signe go to surpass Thomas and rise to the top of the city’s cultural elite?
Sick of Myself comes from the director of Dream Scenario, starring Nicolas Cage, and it’s another wild, absurdist tale that manages to be far more unnerving than a story about a guy who shows up in people’s dreams. Helmed by two horrifically unlikeable characters (major props to Thorp and Sæther), Sick of Myself thrives on disquieting tension, cringe-inducing behavior and pitch black humor. Still, the magic of the movie is just how annoyingly relatable we might find Signe to be.
‘The Foot Fist Way’ (2006) — Pluto TV
Fred Simmons (Danny McBride) is an arrogant taekwondo instructor at a strip mall dojo who likes asserting his expertise over his students. But when his manhood takes a fatal blow after he discovers his wife has cheated on him, he becomes a desperate shell of himself and needs guidance from martial arts expert Chuck “The Truck” Wallace (Ben Best). Traveling with two of his students and his friend and fellow blackbelt Mike McAlister (Jody Hill), Fred heads to a martial arts expo to meet his idol and get his confidence back.
Before McBride and Hill graced television screens with The Righteous Gemstones and Eastbound & Down, they debuted a little indie called The Foot Fist Way at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. The film has largely been relegated to history in favor of McBride and Hill’s more successful small-screen ventures, but it has so much charm, humor and McBride’s fully-formed blowhard character that would soon become iconic in the form of Kenny Powers. While not as funny as Eastbound or Gemstones, The Foot Fist Way is essential viewing for fans of either show.
‘The Hudsucker Proxy’ (1994) — Tubi
After the founder and president of Hudsucker Industries, Waring Hudsucker (Charles Durning), commits suicide by jumping off the company building, ruthless executive Sidney J. Mussburger (Paul Newman) enacts a scheme to hire an incompetent replacement president to devalue the stock price and take a controlling interest. So, he hires dimwitted, Midwestern mailroom clerk Norville Barnes (Tim Robbins). But when Barnes invents a hula hoop, his success drives the value of the company upwards; at the same time, a nosy reporter (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is trying to expose Mussburger’s underhanded plan.

The spirit of classic Hollywood screwball comedies is alive and well in The Hudsucker Proxy, a movie that was underappreciated by critics and audiences at the time of release but has since gained a cult following. It’s a stylish and engaging romp, with fun, scenery-chewing performances from Robbins, Newman, Leigh and Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell. Ultimately, The Hudsucker Proxy is a brilliant pastiche of classic film hallmarks, while also being a wildly inventive and technically brilliant feat of filmmaking.
