https://www.shutterstock.com/blog/129-free-cinematic-luts (some of these don't require a login - The Pond5 ones seem decent)

NOTE: some LUTs may not work quite right with DT. Some of them are a little strong (there's a technical explanation here), so they might still be okay if you use them with REDUCED opacity.
