    You can watch full-length, free movies on Popcornflix, a completely legal website that's available in the US and Canada. Its films feature a mix of well-known actors and actresses, as well as some lesser-known ones, in a variety of titles that you may or may not have heard of before.

    No registration is required, so you'll be enjoying your chosen movie or free TV show in seconds. This video streaming service is ad-supported, however, so you'll have to sit through a few commercial breaks.

    There's a Wide Variety of Free Movies

    Popcornflix has a nice-sized collection of free streaming movies in common and popular genres like comedy, drama, action, horror, sports, Sci-Fi, and documentaries. You can pick any of those genres to look for films or browse an alphabetized All Movies page that lists everything the platform offers on a single page.

    In addition to a trending section and another for recently added films, Popcornflix offers custom collections as another way to look through these films. I've seen Killer Kreatures, Classic Horror, Out for Revenge, Offbeat Comedies, and others.

    Watch Popcornflix Movies With Free Apps

    You can watch Popcornflix from a desktop web browser or via the free movie app for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Kindle. The mobile app looks and feels a lot like the website, and all the same great titles are available from the app. The videos also stream through gaming consoles and TVs with Android TV, Chromecast, and Roku.

    Where Popcornflix Gets Its Movies

    Popcornflix is owned by Screen Media, a large independent movie distributor, and that's where it gets its films. This is a partnership, so the movies are completely legal to stream.

    Screen Media and Popcornflix are subsidiaries of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment, as are the streaming services Crackle and Redbox.

    Popcornflix Alternatives

    If you're not sold on Popcornflix after trying it out—and I think you will be—lots of other websites let you watch movies for free. Some other examples of free movie streaming sites that are 100 percent legal to use include YouTube, Tubi, Fandango at Home, The Roku Channel, and Freevee.

    If you'd rather not stream your movies, there are also websites that let you download movies for free.
