We’ll keep things clean and legal… I suspect many people don’t know about all the quality, legal sites out there to help you watch free movies online and watch free television online. I’m here to save you time and money by identifying and reviewing great resources for you to enjoy.
The trick is to keep abreast on the latest and greatest sites because sites fall in and out of favor over time. Sometimes a site can’t keep up with the volume of traffic their servers must survive because quality video requires so much bandwidth (which stresses the servers themselves and can cost lots of money to maintain). And sometimes sites fall out of favor because they push the line a little too much and draw negative attention from film publishers.
Netflix Unlimited Streaming Video & DVD Rentals - Try For FREE
Currently I’m loving Netflix. With their lengthy & generous free trial, you can stream all the classic and current movies & television shows you can possibly consume for FREE. You can even stream the video through your Xbox 360 at no additional cost. And this is a free addition to their already classic DVD rental service (with fast, free shipping and no late fees):
I have over a dozen quality sites I will introduce to you over the coming weeks. They’re all legal and they all provide a high quality viewing experience. And yes we’ll be looking far beyond sites like YouTube. There’s some great stuff out there and I look forward to collecting my reviews and lessons so you can easily watch movies on the internet.
I’ll discuss and provide three primary methods:
- Watch free movies online through streaming video in your web browser.
- Download free online movies by saving them to your computer and watching them with video player software.
- Membership sites that combine these types of services & require a very small fee.
You may be wondering how I could put paid membership sites in this list considering the name of my website.
This is because the quality and security of some of these services is well worth the very small amount they cost. Many of these services are smaller businesses striving to make a name for themselves, so they provide remarkably generous offerings for far less than better-known big company services like Netflix. Many people don’t know about these companies (at least not yet), so it would be unfair for me to not point them out.
In addition, these paid services often tend to be more reliable than free sites and they likely will also feature much greater longevity. As you follow my progress with this website, you’ll see that only a few sites remain consistently worth your time.
Many of them — even some that are very good for several months at a time — will disappear just as soon as I find them. I wish it wasn’t the case, but this doesn’t happen with fully paid, legit services which operate with the blessing of the major networks and film studios. But don’t fret if you’re anti-corporate! Many of the best watch free movies online services are actually smaller, independent organizations with big web ambitions.
Update:
Return visitors may notice I’ve removed a service to which I linked here. After spending some time with this service, I couldn’t in good conscience link to it from my site. It just isn’t worth the money. I will soon publish a review teaching how you can do and obtain everything it offered for free in an entirely legal fashion. Basically, I feel the service exploits people who aren’t terribly net savvy by trying to profit from services and open-source applications that are freely available to anyone who knows about them.
So that’s enough negativity…
