Check out the 10 sites to watch movies for free and legally !!
Classic Cinema Online
If the name doesn't give it away immediately, Classic Cinema Online is ideal for those old, classic movie buffs who love the era of black and white films and artistically painted movie posters. Classics like Gregory Peck's Moby Dick and the original Lone Ranger film are among some of the site's highlights, but if you dive deeper you can find treasures like the 1952 Mutiny and the 1932 Secret of Dr. Kildare, among others.
PopcornFlix
With thousands of free TV shows and movies, and names and titles you'll probably recognise, PopcornFlix is owned and operated by Screen Media Ventures, an independent distributor of TV shows and media to the television market — which means they have the rights for a great deal of shows.
MoviesFoundOnline
MoviesFoundOnline collects free films, independent films, stand-up comedy, TV shows and other media freely available around the web. From full films to indie TV series to classic film, you can browse the site's categories across the top — like short films, documentaries, viral videos, or comedy to name a few — to find something you're interested in specifically.
Crackle
Owned by Sony, Crackle is often overlooked when people discuss free streaming media on the web, but it's present on a number of mobile devices and set-top boxes. You do have to sign up for an account, but once you do you can create a watchlist, get recommendations on what to watch based on the things you like, and browse the full library of TV shows and movies, including Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and Sports Jeopardy!, or TV series' like Firefly and Seinfeld.
Vimeo
Vimeo is most certainly after YouTube when it comes to size and popularity, but it's still a great video upload service for short film and independent filmmakers and for people who want the freedom and flexibility of a mobile-friendly, HD-capable upload service with great privacy and video management controls and an upbeat community of users.
For those folks just looking for something great to watch, Vimeo's Staff Picks is full of gems that run the gamut from drama to documentary to science fiction and back again. Best of all, you can either grab the Vimeo mobile apps to take your movies with you, or stream Vimeo films directly to your TV through your Chromecast, Roku, Xbox, or Apple TV.
Public Domain Torrents
If you'd rather download than stream, Public Domain Torrents is the place to go. As you'd expect, a number of the films available for download there are pretty old, or classic cinema, but that doesn't mean they're not completely free to download and watch whenever you want, as often as you choose.
Best of all, many of the films here are available in versions that are optimised or encoded for specific mobile devices, or you can just grab the highest quality download and do the encoding yourself, it's up to you.
WatchDocumentary.org
If thoughtful or informative movies are your favourite, WatchDocumentary.org is one good resource. Start by diving into the site's many categories, from documentaries on political assassinations and world conflicts, then move to money and business, science and travel documentaries.
The site doesn't always host the documentaries themselves though — they use a Flash-based player to pipe movies to and through their site so you can watch them and they offer an Android app if you'd like to cast or take films on the go.
Still, the catalogue is deep and worth exploring if you're in the mood for something educational and thought-provoking. Oh — and keep in mind that "documentary" doesn't always mean "factually correct" it just means "intended to be non-fiction".
TopDocumentaryFilms
TopDocumentaryFilms, or TDF, is another great documentary site — and probably one that's a little more up to date with more recent films. The site has loads of documentaries broken up by category, from war and global conflict and crime to health and environment.
It's a little easier to navigate and the site has a community of users who provide ratings for each film and can comment on them so you have an idea of what you're in for before you watch. If you'd like a starting point, check out their top 100 documentary list to see what people are watching, or check the front page for their featured films.
YouTube
No list of freely available TV shows and movies would be complete without YouTube and not because of the sheer volume of ripped and pirated media available there — in fact, YouTube is home to many free movies and TV shows, many of which are YouTube originals and others that are available via Creative Commons or shared in the public domain.
Many YouTube originals are a hit these days, thanks to so many start up stand up comedians.
Big Flix
Owned by Reliance, this was a heaven for serious movie buffs before Netflix entered the Indian market. Though a primary registration is required, Big Flix lets you watch movies for free by streaming. However, some new movies do need subscription. But that also starts at a meagre Rs 49.
