The most recent title I encountered was Hunt for the Wilderpeople, a wonderful film from 2016 by Taika Waititi. I also found a trio of excellent music documentaries: Muscle Shoals, The Wrecking Crew and Sound City. More in the mood for an '80s comedy? There's Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Spaceballs and Big Trouble in Little China. If you are up for some classic 1980s cinema, you can watch Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original Terminator or Sylvester Stallone in Over the Top. You won't find any new releases and or any sense of organizational structure, but there are a few gems. The collection of free movies looks a bit like what you might find in a bin of old DVDs at a garage sale. You can see all YouTube's Free to Watch movies here. While you can rent or buy movies on YouTube, there are more than 300 titles that you can watch for free.
If you are willing to have your movie-viewing experience interrupted by the occasional ad, there are hundreds of movies you can watch for free on YouTube.
You don't need to pay to rent a movie on YouTube or pony up for a YouTube Premium subscription in order to watch full-length films for free. NOTE: On a few occasions (very few) the movie was interrupted by an ad - lasted only a few seconds - the time is shown in an icon at the bottom right of screen and as soon as it shows "skip ad", click the ok button and back to the movie - a small inconvenience IMO for watching some good movies for free.Seen everything on Netflix? Nothing jumping out to you on Hulu or Prime Video? Can I interest you in a free movie on YouTube?
I mentioned this a couple days ago to my brother in USA - who wrote back asking "how to" as he also was not aware that full movies are available for free and has a Samsung smart TV - so, I prepared and sent him the following photo to explain the how to - although this relates to Samsung TV, other smart TVs probably have the same features on their remote. Note - many will show "Full" in the title or the total video time - something to note as there are also a lot of snippets & trailers. There are also some Gay movies including some Asian - many with English subtitles.
I also did some Googling and learned that if I just want to search through the movies available, it is easy to bring them up - click on the YouTube Search Icon (spyglass) and type in "movies free" - you can also type in "movies" which will get both free and pay for view movies that are available.
Just passing this on for folks that may be interested and not aware they can view these movies on YouTube on their computer or smart TV if they have one. Also, using my TV remote's "pause" and "play" buttons worked great - once I completed part I, it showed Part II as next, which I played, and so on - another feature I liked was if I paused and left the YouTube App, when I returned later to the App - it was right where I left off. The other day, it suddenly dawned on me that I have the YouTube app on my Samsung big screen "smart" (connects to Internet) TV - so I opened the app and typed in one of the shows I wanted to watch - a TV miniseries from 1984 - and there it was - clicked on it and it streamed with excellent quality and no buffering issues. So, over time I downloaded a few more - still haven't watched them as I prefer to watch movies on my big screen TV rather than on my computer (spend enough time in front of it as it is).
A while back I was viewing some YouTube videos and in the side panel where they list videos you might be interested in, was a full length movie - I clicked on it, noting it was good quality - I didn't have time or inclination to watch of it at that moment, so I downloaded it to my hard drive - that resulted in many more movies showing up in the side panel when I went to YouTube - scrolling through them, there were many that interested me since I had searched for them on my Android TV box but couldn't find an app that has a stream available.
