Ang Lee has directed 14 feature films, from Pushing Hands (1992) to Gemini Man (2019). On October 12, 2026, only 4 of them were included with any US streaming subscription, 7 could be watched free, and 14 could be rented or bought digitally.
Subscriptions alone will not get you far with Lee: for six of his films, including Sense and Sensibility and Brokeback Mountain, a digital rental or purchase was the only way to stream them on the check date. The table below shows every film and where it stood; each title links to its JustWatch page, which updates daily.
Where to stream Ang Lee movies: the full list
The list follows the feature films marked “Director” on Lee’s Rotten Tomatoes filmography, with one addition. Rotten Tomatoes lists him only as a writer of The Wedding Banquet (1993), while the AFI Catalog credits him as its director, so it is included. Chosen (2001), a short film, is left out. Years are the ones Rotten Tomatoes gives. Live-TV bundles, cable-login apps and disc sellers are excluded; “Rent or buy” lists the main digital stores.

The four you can stream on a subscription
No service carries more than one of his films: on October 12, 2026, the four that were on a subscription service at all each sat on different services.
- Pushing Hands (1992) streams with a subscription on Film Movement Plus and Metrograph, and free on Amasian TV, Kanopy, OnDemandKorea, Plex and The Roku Channel.
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) streams with a subscription on Prime Video, and free with ads on YouTube.

His first three films, and the rest
JustWatch lists Lung Sihung among the top-billed cast of each of Lee’s first three films, Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman. All three could be watched free on October 12, 2026: Pushing Hands on Amasian TV, Kanopy, OnDemandKorea, Plex and The Roku Channel; The Wedding Banquet on Tubi; Eat Drink Man Woman on Hoopla, Tubi and YouTube.
From there the list moves through very different material, as the Rotten Tomatoes pages for each film show: Sense and Sensibility, written for the screen by Emma Thompson from Jane Austen; Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, listed as originally in Chinese; Hulk, with Eric Bana as Bruce Banner; and Gemini Man, about an assassin hunted by a younger clone of himself, with Will Smith top-billed. By JustWatch’s runtimes the longest film is Lust, Caution at 2 hr 38 min, and all 14 together run about 29 hours.
If Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is your way in, our piece on how Hong Kong action movies make their fights work is a good next read, and our Western movie beginner guide is a good companion to Ride With the Devil and Brokeback Mountain.
