10 Best Places to Watch Free Movies Online
1. Crackle
Crackle tops my list for the best place to watch free movies online because through their partnership with Sony Pictures they have hundreds of full-length free movies you can watch. These are big name movies with stars you know.
These are high-quality movies that look spectacular on whatever size of monitor or screen you are watching them on. You will have to sit through a few commercials every once in awhile but they are short and there are only a few commercial breaks during a feature length movie.
2. Hulu
Hulu is widely popular and there's a reason for it - it really is one of the best places out there to watch free movies online.
You'll find hundreds of free movies online at Hulu through their partnership with Miramax and movies from the Criterion Collection. These are free full length movies that you can watch over and over again without paying a dime and worrying whether you're breaking the law.
Besides being a great place to watch free movies online, Hulu also has thousands of full length TV episodes and an impressive list of documentaries.
You can watch the movies at Hulu in SD for free but you'll need to subscribe to Hulu Plus to enjoy HD movies. There is a free 1-week trial available if you want to try that out.
Some of the more popular free movies I found at Hulu during my last visit were Bending All The Rules, The Pill, Charlie Bartlett, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Split Second, and The Babysitters.
