You'll find independent and public domain movies listed as thriller, adventure, horror, and other types. You can also stream free short films and classics. In addition to movies are a handful of free TV shows you can watch directly from the website. Visit Free Movies Cinema This website isn't always up. If the link above doesn't work for you, check out the bottom of this page for some reliable alternatives to this movie site — all still 100% free. Streaming Movies There are over a dozen genres to choose from, including fan films, war, science fiction, Western, documentary, standup, and action. Some movies are sectioned off in a Short Films category, or you can browse the hundreds of titles listed in the Feature Films section. If you're not sure what to watch, the Playlists page is a good place to start. It collects the films in topics like kung fu, adventure classic, war, and famous directors first films. The small handful of series are on a single page. Use the search bar at the top of the page to find titles by keyword or to find the most popular movies on the site. A few of the movies we've seen here include Antarctica - Encounters at the End of the World, The Signal, Resignation, Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things, and Click. There are plenty of others, too, both old and new. Video Quality Free Movies Cinema's video quality ranges from a very low 144p to much better ones like 720p and 1080p. It depends, in part, on how old the movie is, which, unfortunately means you won't have much control over video quality. Where Free Movies Cinema Gets Its Movies Films are verified by the original authors or production companies as being freely available for viewing. Many of these are actually movies hosted on YouTube. Whether they're streamed directly from FMC or are just embedded from other websites, they're all available to watch at zero cost. Free Movies Cinema Alternatives A lot of FMC's collection is short films, and since it relies heavily on YouTube for hosting, some of the movies get removed without getting updated on the Free Movies Cinema site. It's also unclear how often new movies are added since there isn't a way to see recently added films and the site's social media pages and blog are infrequently updated. I've also noticed that, sometimes, Free Movies Cinema is down and I can't watch anything. If the website doesn't open for you, I highly suggest one of these alternative movie sites: Crackle, Vudu, The Roku Channel, Tubi, and Freevee. Those services have a much larger collection, rarely have website issues, update the selections more often, and usually have fairly high-quality streams. Was this page helpful?
