More and more people are ditching cable in favor of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney Plus. These subscription services are usually easier to set up and more flexible than standard cable, but the more of them you use, the more expensive it can get. Lucky for you, you don't have to pay for every streaming service to get your movie fix. There are plenty of places online to legally stream movies and TV shows for free. Here is our list of some of the best ones you can try out today.

Hoopla

Hoopla home page

Many people don't know that their local library card can get them more than just books. If your local library supports it, you can also gain access to a couple of different movie streaming services, and Hoopla is one of them. Hoopla features tons of free movies and TV shows online and through its mobile app.

It also has tons of eBooks, comics, music, and audiobooks, so it can really become your one-stop-shop for entertainment. Just keep in mind, Hoopla works kind of like a normal library, so you will only be able to borrow a certain number of movies, TV shows, or books, and you have a set time to finish them before you have to check them out again.


IMDb TV

IMDb TV free movies online

IMDb is one of the best websites for movie lovers to catch up on all sorts of movie and celebrity-related content. It offers local movie showtimes and ticketing, trailers, movie critic and user reviews, personalized recommendations, and it even has a robust library of free movies online.

It features fun family favorites like The Smurfs and Stuart Little, but it also has a bunch of cult classics like Donnie Darko. Whatever kind of mood you are in, you can bet IMDb TV has something for you.


Internet Archive

Internet Archive free movies online

The Internet Archive is a little bit of an oddball in this list. Not only can you stream thousands of hours of movies online, but you are also free to download nearly everything on the website too. That's because all of the content on the Internet Archive is either uploaded by users or falls within the public domain. That means most of the feature films were made over 70 years ago, but if you are in the mood for classic detective, sci-fi, horror, or even silent films, the Internet Archive has got you covered.


Kanopy

Kanopy home page

Just like Hoopla, all you need to get up and going with Kanopy is a library card. We can't guarantee every library supports it, but if yours does, Kanopy is a treasure trove of great content.

You can access Kanopy online or through the service's mobile app, and there are more movies than you could ever hope to watch. Plus, Kanopy's movie selection is top-notch, featuring award-winning films like Moonlight, Ex Machina, and Momento. 


Movies Found Online

Movies Found Online homepage

The name says it all. Movies Found Online doesn't host its own content, but instead, the website embeds free movies and videos from other sites into one location. Nearly everything on this website is independently made, and the selection features movies, documentaries, and even short films. The website has a somewhat limited library compared to other sites on this list, but if you are looking for something out of the ordinary, you just might find something on Movies Found Online.


Plex

Plex free movies online

Plex is a useful tool for people who want to be able to access their personal media library from anywhere in the world. But that's not all it does. Recently, Plex released its own online ad-support media library, so users can watch tons of movies for free without having their own collection.

This selection of free content fits seamlessly within the existing Plex interface so that you can access it either from the app or within a browser. Whether you're already a longtime Plex user or you've never even heard of it, this new movie selection is worth a look. 


Pluto TV

One itch most streaming services just don't scratch is the need to channel surf like you can on cable television. That's where Pluto TV comes in. Pluto TV features tons of free movies, TV shows, and cartoons online and through the Pluto TV app, but it presents them in a way that's more akin to classic cable.

Pluto TV has a section where you can stream content on-demand, but it also features more than 250 channels that you can tune in to watch at previously scheduled times. Naturally, that comes with a few downsides, but if you are looking for a nigh one-to-one replacement for your existing cable service, Pluto TV has you covered. You don't even need to create an account to get started, and it's completely free.


Popcornflix

Popcornflix home page

Popcornflix is a simple and straight forward video streaming service. It hosts tons of free movies, TV shows, and even viral videos from all over the web for your online viewing pleasure. The service has been around for nearly 10 years now, and the library has continually gotten better with age. It features a well-organized directory to easily peruse the various genres you are interested in, including new arrivals, foreign films, and even Popcornflix originals.


Crackle

Sony Crackle home page

Crackle streaming service feels like it has been around forever. It has become one of the staples for budget-minded movie lovers looking for free online content. Like most other services on this list, it's ad-supported, but Crackle's library is more robust than some others, and it is available in your web browser and through various smart TV and mobile apps. Whether you like watching your movies on your TV, computer, or smartphone, Crackle is there waiting for you to give it a shot.


Top Documentary Films

Top Documentary Films home page

Are you in the mood for a documentary? Top Documentary Films has you covered. Whether you are looking for a film on human health, environmentalism, or even outer space, there's something here for you. It features some of the best documentary movies you can find online covering a vast selection of topics, and it's all completely free.

Some of the movies are only a couple minutes long, while others are as long as any standard movie. So whether you have only 15 minutes or a few hours, you'll be able to find something on Top Documentary Films.


Tubi

Tubi home page

Tubi TV has been around since 2014, and since then, the service has grown to become one of the highest quality free movie streaming services you can find online. What's great about Tubi is that it offers some of the overall best films on this list.

It also boasts a wide variety of genres you won't find on a lot of other free services like LGBTQ, home and garden, reality TV, and musicals. It also has a ton of hand-curated collections, so if you are having a hard time finding what you want to watch, Tubi will help you narrow it down.


VRV

VRV home page

Do you like anime? Then you need to give VRV a try. Yes, the service offers more than just anime, but that is where VRV's library truly shines. VRV offers its own content selection, but it's also home to services like Crunchyroll, Hidive, and even NickSplat.

Unfortunately, not all of the content on VRV is free. If you want to get access to the entire VRV library, you will need to fork out $9.99 a month, or you can purchase access to individual channels. If you mainly want to watch anime from Crunchyroll while also trying out content on other channels occasionally, then the free version is perfectly fine.


Yidio

Yidio free movies online

Like Movies Found Online, Yidio doesn't host its own content. Instead, it aggregates online movies and TV shows from both paid and free services into one easy to navigate UI. Because of that, Yidio's library looks massive.

You can watch free movies directly from the website, and you can also browse content on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. So if you have at least one of these streaming services and you also want to browse more free movies and TV shows online, you should give Yidio a try.


YouTube

YouTube free movies online

YouTube is chock-full of content creators, vloggers, and even original content. But what people might not know is that YouTube also offers a library of movies and TV shows beyond YouTube Originals. Within that online library, there is an entire selection of movies you can watch entirely for free.

Though the free library isn't the largest on this list, you'll find horror films, comedies, action flicks, dramas, and even children's movies. So, the next time you check out the Android Authority YouTube channel, be sure to scout out YouTube's free movie library.
