Before she won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once, Michelle Yeoh starred in the one Tubi movie that you have to watch in May 2024.
More than almost any other streaming service, the past lives on at Tubi. Some of that is by necessity, since the bigger streamers sweep up most of the contemporary box office hits, and almost every major studio in Hollywood has its own streaming service. While there are some modern films and TV shows on Tubi, it also has a robust lineup of movies and series that pretend like cinematic and television history began in the ’80s. These older titles need a home, and Tubi has given it to them.
However, our pick for the one Tubi movie that you have to watch in May isn’t that old, relatively speaking. Director Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon caused a cultural sensation in 2000, not unlike the way Everything Everywhere All at Once did in 2022 on its way to earning Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress honors for Michelle Yeoh. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon also features Yeoh in a leading role during an earlier period of her career, and the film was also an Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score. It was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director, but came up short there.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon‘s cultural impact may have faded in the last two decades, but this is still a movie worth revisiting … especially since it’s free to watch on Tubi. But if you haven’t seen it before, here are some reasons to watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on Tubi in May 2024.
