Free Full Length Movies - The Top Ten Websites
By Wendy Boswell, About.com Guide
Free, full length movies are abundant on the Web; that is, if you know where to look. Lots of websites promise free films, but I've sorted through it all to show you the top ten very best sites that will deliver great video right to your desktop.
1. Hulu
Hulu
is the first place I go online when I want to find quality multimedia.
They've got a good selection of movies here, and they are all easy to
find with good organization.
2. Surf The Channel
Surf
The Channel has literally hundreds of movies; keep in mind that since
all these movies are links to other sites, not all of the movies will
work. However, out of five movies I randomly picked to test this site,
all of them worked with no problems at all.
3. IMDB
IMDB, also known as the Internet Movie Database,
has added free full length movies and TV shows to its already large and
informative site. As of this writing (August 2011), there were only
about one hundred movies available; however, they are all hosted on the
site and in good quality.
4. Joost
Joost makes it very easy for you to view movies on the Web - just click to their film section and you're pretty much all set. Nicely organized by category and each movie is in very high quality.
5. Babelgum
Babelgum
has plenty of great movies; however, you're going to have to do a
little bit of sleuthing in order to find them. Your best bet? Go
straight to the Channels
page and look to the right - you'll see a whole list of really
interesting subjects that you can then click on and find movies you
might be interested in.
6. Google Video
Movies at Google Video can be found simply by going to the Advanced Search
and changing the drop-down "Duration" menu to "longer than twenty
minutes"; you can further refine your search parameters to find a
particular movie you are interested in.
7. Freetube
Freetube
is quite different from the rest of the sites profiled in this list.
Instead of individual movies, Freetube offers streaming channels from
which you can watch a free full length movie: it's just not certain what
you're going to get! Channels offered are The Movie Channel, Free Classics, the Mystery Channel,
and quite a few more. All movies are in reasonably good quality; my
only beef is that there should be some kind of viewing schedule
available.
8. OVGuide
OVGuide
is a multimedia search engine that scours the Web for high-quality
videos, movies, TV shows, and films. OVGuide connects to more than 3000
movie and video sites, organizing content into an easy to use multimedia
directory.
9. Public Domain Torrents
Public
Domain Torrents offers up nearly 1000 free, full-length movies that are
completely free and legal to download to your computer; in other words,
once you download them, they're all yours. These are all movies that
have fallen out of copyright and therefore are now in the public domain.
Each movie offers more than one way to download (many offer several
options), so you're sure to find one that works for you.
10. Internet Archive: Moving Image Archive
The
Internet Archive is a truly fascinating repository of all sorts of
really high quality movies; you can find anything from historical films
to open source movies here.
