If your TV won’t turn on or you want to save money on cable or streaming services, you can still enjoy watching your favorite movies online.
Maybe you were looking for websites where you can watch movies without signing up in the first place. Either way, we got you with our best free movie streaming sites roundup.
Luckily, not all sites with movie libraries and good streaming capabilities charge users for their use.
Many offer their movie collections for free, making these a very cost-friendly option for casual movie viewers. Let’s take a look at 10 of the best free movie streaming sites with no sign-up necessary.
The Best Free Movie Streaming Sites With No Sign-Up
Here are the ten best free movie streaming sites with no sign-up that you’ll learn about in this guide.
1. Crackle
Let’s start with the best name in free movie streaming, Crackle. You may be familiar with this site as Sony Crackle. But they got acquired by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (CSS Entertainment), which changed the name to Crackle.
Crackleis one of the best freestreaming services that offer on-demand movies and TV series.They do have to make their money somehow. So the trade-off for the free ticket to in-home or mobile device choices is that you do have to endure some ads.
You can see fewer commercials by creating an account or logging in with Facebook. But you don’t have to; You can access Crackle pretty much everywhere and start streaming right away.
Featuring many classics and more recent Sony films, Crackle is a great option for those who do not want to splurge on a monthly payment for their entertainment.
2. Tubi
If you do not want to create an account to watch free movies, Tubi might be a good site choice for you.
The site boasts an impressive library of generally older films, but it includes some newer titles, too. The site also adds more movies and TV shows to its library weekly, so there will never be a shortage of choices.
The films are broken down into fairly broad categories so that any section can offer you a healthy selection. All of the movies are free to view without exception.
Most movie choices are not compressed for space savings so that you can enjoy nearly any selection in crisp HD format.
You are not limited to watching Tubi on the screen of a mobile device either, with compatible sites available on most smart TVs and streaming devices like AirPlay, Amazon Fire Stick, and Chromecast.
3. Vudu
With its nicely developed, smooth, and intuitive interface, Vudu is a great choice for someone looking for a good free movie selection.
There are several categories available for movies and TV shows, making it easy to find the one you are looking for. You only need to tap on the title to begin playing the movie.
The great thing about Vudu is that you can download and watch movies offline. Furthermore, a Disc to Digital feature is available that lets you scan the barcode of your DVD to view a digital version of the movie.
Another key feature is that aside from free movies, Vudu also offers a wide variety of movies you can pay to watch.
Unlike a monthly subscription, you can utilize this pay-per-view method to ‘rent’ a movie that may not fall into the free movies domain.
4. YouTube
Did you think YouTube was simply a place for video content of basically everything but free movies? Well…surprise, YouTube has loads of free movie content that can be watched as long as you are willing to put up with the occasional ads.
If you need something different to watch with kids, YouTube’s free offerings are heavily geared toward a younger audience. It also features some more obscure title choices that you can select.
While identifying free full-length features on YouTube may not be the most intuitive thing, the platform curates a movie playlist that puts many movie selection choices in one convenient place. Each movie will be labeled as being available with ads for full disclosure.
There are other movies (older ones or classics) that are not included on the curated playlist, too, for those who love the nostalgic feel.
There are also plenty of movies you can rent for a small price on YouTube and consume without the interference of ads, much like many other movie renting platforms.
5. Filmrise
Available on multiple streaming platforms, FilmRise is another option to stream movies for free. It has movies and TV shows, with new content being added daily into categories that include crime, action, horror, drama, comedies, and documentaries.
To access FilmRise, you do not need a user account (it’s optional). This will not stop you from being able to keep track of the desired watchlist so you can track what movies or shows you wish to watch at a later time.
FilmRise houses many cult classics and favorites from years past, offering a great chance to catch up on movies you may have wanted to watch when they came out but passed on for bigger contemporary titles.
You can access FilmRise on your smartphone (iOS and Android) and streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Facebook Watch, and Xbox.
6. Pluto TV
Pluto TV is a great option for people who want to get some free on-demand movies in addition to many custom niche channels.
There are many options for those looking to stream just movies, whether live or on-demand. However, if you are looking just for movies and are comfortable watching them as they air, you might find the number of channels available overwhelming.
It’s important to point out that Pluto TV lets you hide the channels you are not interested in watching off your guide.
Many popular and classic movies are available, including some relatively newer titles. You can also view movies that Pluto will air later on one of their many channel options.
You can stream Pluto TV from almost any streaming device, including Android, iPhone, iPad, various smart TV platforms, Amazon Fire, Windows, Vizio, and Chromecast.
7. The Roku Channel
The Roku Channel streaming service is one of the best movie streaming services. It provides a select grouping of commonly watched channels and even allows 50 hours of DVR recording time.
You can alsoadd the Roku Channel to your TV or streaming device to enjoy the free Roku experience better. This platform gives the viewer access to many on-demand content (ad-supported), including movies and TV shows.
Roku’s interface is nicely designed but not quite tailored to On-Demand searches. That certainly does not mean that you cannot find a great many options to watch, and the quality of picture streams in high definition quality with rare issues in this regard.
8. Plex
Plex is not a streaming service per se. It’s more of a media player that lets you share your personal collection of movies, TV, music, and photos anywhere.
You can stream those contents on Plex media servers and a wide range of apps and devices for free.
The movies can be browsed by genres and accessed easily through Plex’s clean and attractive interface.
While Plex is perfectly legal, the contents on its servers are populated by its own users. The legality comes in with how those users get the movies they’re streaming. So you might be well streaming illegal content for free in the comfort of your couch.
9. Popcornflix
Another popular free movie-watching option is Popcornflix. The site contains the option to choose from movies, TV shows, and viral videos, all spread into separate sections designed for easy browsing.
There is a separate section for action, drama, and comedy movies. Popcornflix also offers a good selection of newer, more popular films, most of which you can find under the new arrivals tab.
10. CONtv
If you are a fan of many sub-genres of comedy, action, and sci-fi movies, check out CONtv. This platform offers a wide selection of movies, TV shows, and comics free of charge.
While you can watch many of the movies on this site without signing up, you may need to create an account to watch some premium content.
There are ads, of course. That’s how they keep the movies free for you. If you want an ad-free watching experience, you can create a premium account to access locked content.
