To get you started, we've done the digging for you and pulled together three of the best movies on YouTube available to stream right now. Check out our picks below.
'Wonder'
Auggie Pullman (Jacob Tremblay) has spent most of his life hiding behind astronaut helmets and homeschooling because he looks different. But when he starts fifth grade at Beecher Prep, things have to change, and he finds himself in the spotlight and under scrutiny.
His mom, Isabel (Julia Roberts), and dad, Nate (Owen Wilson), promise things will be fine, but Auggie finds himself bogged down by bullying. He deals with cruel pranks, uneasy friendships and other uncomfortable truths of being different in middle school. All the while, his sister ends up feeling invisible beside her famous little brother. "Wonder" is all about kindness and how it can change lives.

'The Cured'
Senan (Sam Keeley) isn’t out of danger just because scientists whipped up a cure for the virus that once turned him and thousands of others into zombies. In the ruins of Dublin, the newly “cured” former individuals aren't just shunned, but they're tracked and feared and treated like prisoners.
Senan moves in with his widowed sister-in-law, Abbie (Elliot Page), desperate to rebuild his life. But his friend Conor (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) kicks off an underground movement of cured people who refuse to stay second-class citizens. In the end, Senan has to choose between conforming to what society expects of him and rebelling against persecution in this inventive zombie flick.
