01
Crackle
Crackle tops our list for the best place to watch free movies online because it offers hundreds of full-length films you can watch any time, including original programming. These are big-name movies with stars you know.
These high-quality movies look spectacular on whatever size of monitor or screen you're watching them on. You'll have to sit through a few commercials every once in a while, but they're short and there are only a few commercial breaks during a feature-length movie.
A closed captioning toggle is available directly from the video player for all users, but if you sign up for an account (it's free), you can also enable parental controls.
Some of the site's most recently added films include The Natural, The Legend Of Zorro, Heist, The Clearing, Empire State, Snowpiercer, and The Tillman Story.
02
Popcornflix
Popcornflix is another great place to watch free movies online. Their constant flow of new titles from Screen Media Ventures (the same company that runs Crackle) means that they have lots of movies being added all the time.
This site has several hundred movies that include comedy, drama, horror, action, romance, family, documentary movies, and foreign films. They also feature web and film school originals, and list some titles by a common theme, like Cops and Robbers and Sci-Fi Sanctuary.
The Leaving Soon category helps you catch movies that are about to leave the site.
No account is needed; simply choose any movie and enjoy. It supports resume playback, so you can watch these movies in pieces if you like.
Some of the newest additions include Pioneer, The Quake, In Order Of Disappearance, Triangle, IP Man, and Calvin Marshall.
03
Yidio
Yidio is a website with several categories showing you where you can watch movies online. One such category is designed specifically for free movies.
What sets Yidio apart from the rest is that it's really like a search engine for free movies; it helps you find all the free places to watch movies online.
It's super easy to sort the films by the site they're hosted on as well as by genre, when they were released, MPAA rating, decade, IMDb rating, and more. Beyond the regular genres you'd expect, like action and drama, are interesting ones like Art House & International, Special Interest, Indie, Faith & Spirituality, Disaster, and Neo-noir.
Some recently added free streams here include Robo, Impossible Crimes, Road Less Traveled, Redemption Value, and Gold Stars: The Story of the FIFA World Cup Tournaments.
04
YouTube
YouTube isn't just the place to go to watch the latest movie trailers or videos of skateboarding dogs. They also have dozens upon dozens of movies that you can watch for free.
YouTube has its own curated list of new and popular movies that are easily accessible from the Movies & Shows section, via the link below. Beyond that list are profiles from movie companies, like Popcornflix, that are also 100% free and legal to watch.
At our last visit, we were able to stream titles like Six Days Seven Nights, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Marine, Mine, The Inherited, and Son-in-Law.
05
Tubi
Tubi has thousands of free movies and TV shows that you can stream right now. Some of them can only be rented and not viewed for free, but many are no cost to stream.
There are dozens of genres and collections to pick from, even fun and unique ones like Not on Netflix, Black Cinema, Movie Night, Cult Classics, K-Drama+, and Bollywood Dreams. We also particularly like the Leaving Soon and Trending Now sections.
Some films listed as the site's most recent additions include Twilight, Scariest Monsters in America, Clash of the Titans, Prometheus, Walk the Line, and 8 Mile.
Tubi Kids is a section of this site perfect for streaming just kid-related films. It's available from the top of the website and has categories just for preschoolers and other kids, including Toon TV, LEGO, Animé, and Friendly Monsters films. There are also parental controls you can set through the normal website.
