With this Watch Free Movies Online Guide, I hope to help you find and watch free movies online in legal and safe fashion. I’ll also help you obtain unlimited DVD rental.
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. This is, obviously, pretty difficult and time-consuming, so I encourage you to regularly return to watchfree-moviesonline.com to keep abreast of the latest. 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.

My Watch Free Movies Online blog is long over due for an update. It is more exciting than ever to watch free movies online now.
I am planning whole new sections for the site. I will have a section targeting smartphones like the iPhone or the various Google-based Android phones. The number of apps and services available for watching movies online on the go is remarkable compared to just over two years ago when I started this blog called watchfree-moviesonline.com. In the time since, we’ve not only moved online and into the cloud with our entertainment, but we’ve become more mobile than ever.

It seems the phenomenon of watching a film online has dramatically changed in just the last six to ten months or so. Just six to ten months ago, you could easily enjoy a few movies online, but it was still a little bit of a novelty. Many laymen computer or internet users had no idea it was even a possibility.
Now it seems the luxury of watching movies online has moved into the mainstream. A lot of people aren’t necessarily aware how it works but they’re probably at least aware that it is a possibility. And with the way Hulu has been advertised, I suspect more and more people will be hooking their computers up to their television sets and watching more and more movies online.
My personal favorite setup is to just open YouTube, Hulu and Netflix in three separate tabs within my favorite browser (Firefox), then watch away. It has never been easier to watch free movies online in a legal and legit fashion.

This section of Watch Free Movies Online will address how to watch streaming video. I will explain how most sites in this area stream video free for you to watch and provide reviews of the best and most popular services.
It is important that you have some understanding how these sites work, because many of them simply serve videos hosted by other sites. This is okay, but understanding the difference between a site serving streaming video free from external sites and a site which hosts the movies on its own server will help you pick the right sites to spend more of your time.
I will provide you with many of the names of these streaming video services, but I’m afraid I won’t be linking directly to most of them. This is because many of them contain gobs of copyrighted material. My site isn’t designed for you to learn how to exploit copyrighted material. It is designed to help you find legal and legitimate ways to enjoy your movies and videos online.
While some of you may still seek the instant gratification of copyright infringement, I can assure you that finding and enjoying this same material in a legitimate way will make it both easier and more lasting.

While the focus of Watch Free Movies Online will continue to be watching movies free online, I would be remiss not to include some excellent, robust services which provide tons of quality movie downloads for a small monthly fee or very small per-use fee.
In this section I will review 9 different services. Some of them are strictly online video services while others require the purchase of some kind of set top box, not unlike the kind of set top box many use for digital cable services. All of them require an internet connection, and the higher the bandwidth, the better.
The first reviews are up. I’ve written very thorough and detailed reviews of Amazon Unbox and CinemaNow as well as Netflix. I hope they help you better understand your options. I will also have a review of Vongo up very soon, with the rest to follow in the coming week.
So you can see how the big guns compare to the little guys, I will review both major services such as Apple’s iTunes, Amazon Unbox and Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace and I will review lesser known services such as Vongo and Vudu. I will even throw in a couple very small, independent services I’ve discovered, such as the ambitious but terribly disappointing Watch Direct.

Most of you are probably familiar with Netflix already… but did you know that most Netflix subscriptions include unlimited, instant streaming of thousands of movies and television shows through an easy-to-use web interface?
This is a free addition to their standard DVDs-in-the-mail rental program for which Netflix has become so popular. Oddly, I’ve known people who were devout Netflix subscribers who didn’t even realize they had this option available to them (here’s looking at you, mom).
Netflix also offers the best instant gratification of any of the video services I’m reviewing. With their generous free trial and the fact that their streaming videos literally begin instantly, you could start watching one of your favorite movies or television shows only a couple minutes from the moment you finish reading this sentence:

It is very likely you know all about Amazon.com. Amazon is the almighty giant of all e-commerce sites and until now you likely associated them with selling physical products, especially books and CDs. With this Watch Free Movies Online review, I’ll discuss the cost, usability, video catalog and video quality of Amazon’s new Amazon Unbox service.
Amazon is entering the streaming video market with a service that integrates well with either your TiVo set top box or your home computer. You can even watch these videos on your portable device.
Amazon Unbox Costs
Amazon Unbox allows you to rent movies for $3 or $4 (and half as much for tv shows) or buy movies for $8 to $15. Thankfully, there are no additional or hidden costs. Some services charge for a monthly subscription or require you purchase a set top box to watch your movie on your television. With Amazon Unbox, you can use either your personal computer or your TiVo to order and watch your movies or television shows.
