The 18 best websites to stream free movies online

The movie has been noted as the first zombie film, and its influences can be seen in everything from 28 Days Later to Shaun of the Dead. Romero’s debut — he wrote, directed, edited, and acted in the film — made him into a superstar, quickly revolutionizing the genre on a budget of a mere $114,000. For some movies hosted on the platform, you have to either buy or rent them in order to watch them. You can only buy or rent movies on YouTube on certain devices.

Newly-added titles on the platform include “The Lovely Bones,” “Blackfish,” and “Burlesque.” Roku doesn’t just make some of the best streaming devices; the company also has a free streaming channel that you can access from any Roku product or the web. The HTC One M7 sparked Parth’s interest in the Android world. Since 2013, he has been following Android blogs and tech news.

They also feature web and film school originals, and list some titles by a common theme. I’ve seen Leaving the Parents at Home, Legends of Action, Thriller Instincts, Halloween Horror Playlist, and Martial Arts. One itch most streaming services don’t scratch is the need to channel surf like you can on cable television. Pluto TV features tons of free movies, TV shows, and cartoons online and through the Pluto TV app, but it presents them in a way that’s more akin to classic cable. You could make a highlight reel of classic silent comedy moments using only Buster Keaton’s Sherlock, Jr., and no one could justly complain. In the 91 years since Keaton made his love letter to cinema, no one has crafted a better examination of the relationship between the audience and the silver screen.

The jovial Lloyd leans into his gags more than his silent comedy peer Buster Keaton, making for interesting contrasts in style, but his perilous set-ups are less entertaining or insane. Most famous, of course, is the Manhattan tower scene that has Lloyd’s country bumpkin clinging to a teetering clock face in a case of high-altitude mistaken identity. It’s not the first movie about zombies ever made, but it is perhaps the first ‘zombie movie’ – a flick that solidified the tropes related to depicting a world overrun by shuffling, rotting undead into a genre all its own. Frankly, though, zombie movies never really got much better, unless we’re talking about George A Romero’s other contributions to the form. There’s also an entirely separate section for Kanopy kids movies.

In fact, Hulu’s horror collection is so large that it might be easy to get lost in it. And unfortunately, some movies might not be worth your precious time. To help, we’ve already done all the digging, collecting a list of the best horror movies on Hulu to scratch your scary movie itch and keep you up at night. So, without further ado, here’s our roundup of the best horror movies on Hulu you can stream right now. Plex is a valuable tool for people who want to access their personal media library from anywhere in the world.

Currently, there are over 20,000 free movies online and shows here. They’re sectioned off in traditional genres like action and crime, but you can also browse by actor or channel, like BBC, Crackle, Popsy, Lionsgate, and Maverick Black Cinema. Plex has its own unique categories, too, including Crime Time and Cheap Thrills. While the website is definitely very modern looking, it’s not super user-friendly. Right off the bat, I appreciate that I don’t need an account to use it.

Which movies should you watch, though, now that you know where to find them? Rotten Tomatoes did some digging and sorted through the free movie catalogs of Peacock, Vudu, Tubi, Freevee, YouTube, and Crackle to find the 100 best movies available to watch for free right now. These films, all Fresh on the Tomatometer, include Oscar winners, blockbusters, comedy classics, informative documentaries, and family favorites — all available to watch for free.

He started writing and editing for startups shortly after graduating, where he did everything from writing website copy to managing and editing for a group of writers. In his free time, you can find him fiddling with computers and spending his entire paycheck on vinyl records. Watching Russell’s fast-talking star reporter Hildy and Grant’s exasperated editor running rings around each other is one of the purest joys of ‘40s Hollywood. The premise is simple – an English lady vanishes aboard a train across Europe – but the execution sublime in Hitchcock’s timeless locomotive caper. Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave play two inquisitive Brits who try to uncover what has become of kindly old music teacher Miss Froy (May Whitty) when she suddenly disappears. Goes down easier than a cup of Earl Grey on a rainy day, though the Hitchcock cameo is quite tricky to spot in this one.🎬Watch it here.

YouTube is chock-full of content creators, vloggers, and even original content. But what people might not know is that YouTube also offers a library of movies and TV shows beyond YouTube Originals. Within that online library, there is an entire selection of movies you can watch entirely for free.

Though the free library isn’t the largest on this list, you’ll find horror films, comedies, action flicks, dramas, and even children’s movies. So, the next time you check out the Android Authority YouTube channel, be sure to scout out YouTube’s free movie library. Pluto TV is a little different than most streaming video services. In addition to being able to watch movies and TV shows on demand, it also streams live programming that you access in a program guide as if you were watching cable or satellite TV. Vudu is the streaming video arm of Fandango that offers both free and paid videos.

When buying or renting movies on YouTube, you can watch many of the latest major Hollywood movies and see them as soon as they hit streaming. With our easy-to-install Plex Media Server software and Plex apps on the devices of your choosing, you can stream your video, music, and photo collections any time, anywhere, to whatever you want. Once you register for a free account with Plex, we’ll keep your place from screen to screen as long as you’re signed in. No matter what device you choose, your free movies will pick up where you left off with ease.

The website is pretty basic in that there aren’t sorting or filtering options, but I do like that it supports browsing by actor or director, as well as really specific keywords, such as hypnotic or arcade. Kanopy does a great job providing useful categories to look through. There’s Short Film, History – Ancient, LGBTQ Cinema, War & Action, Sociology, Performing Arts, Human Rights, Everyday Health, and K-12 Lessons.

Some of this site’s most watched movies are Baby Girl, Broken Side of Time, The Maid, Play Hooky, and The Deal. If you can’t find what you want on Plex, the title you’re interested in might still show up in the results, and you’ll be given links to places you can buy/rent it (sort of like Yidio, listed above). This isn’t a perfect service, but it works great nearly every time I use it.

And for that it can thank Anton Walbrook, who is all slippery menace as a man who sets about making his wife (Diana Wynyard) feel like she’s losing her mind as they settle into their new Pimlico pile. An edge-of-the-seat adaptation of a stage play, it got a starry but slightly less effective American remake four years later (though that one isn’t on YouTube).🎬 Watch it here. Famous for a snooker ball scene that absolutely does not involve snooker, Alan Clarke’s landmark Brit drama is brilliantly acted – not least in its central turn by a young Ray Winstone. Playing borstal inmate Carlin, he looks about 16 (though was actually 22 at the time) and exudes a reined-in ferocity as he pursues alpha status in a block run by cruel, bullying screws. Somehow the film’s anger never overwhelms its craft, with Clarke’s camera always in just the right place to capture its seething undercurrent of nastiness and hurt.

I also like that resume playback is supported so I can pause and watch the rest of the movie later. I was sort of shocked the first time I found out YouTube has free movies, and not just those poorly ripped ones with no subtitles that someone random uploaded. I’m talking full-length, totally legal movies, uploaded and managed by YouTube themselves. I spend some time each month looking for the best free movie sites on the internet. This list was last updated in October to confirm that they still work, are still free, and are still worth your time.

Dystopian is one favorite of mine, but there’s also Date Night, Werewolves, Man on the Moon, Free Screams, Hockey Hits, and Dog Tales. Vudu’s high-def movies are organized into unique sections like Critically Acclaimed, Hidden Gems, and Big Time Movie Stars.

There are movies from big-name studios, but also many older and independent movies that you’ll love to watch over and over again. Watching free movies online is a convenient and frugal way to see the films you love right from the comfort of your own home. Yes, there are plenty of sites where you can get movies “for free” but I’ve taken the time to confirm that the ones listed below, although ad-supported, are clean from viruses and, importantly, 100% legal to use.
