A friend of mine introduced me to this site, watch-movies.net, yesterday. It was a site where you can watch your favorite movie online, in FULL, for free! You simply go to the site, choose which movies you want to watch (you can also search for a particular movie), and sit back on your chair.
The movie of your choice will then be streamed to your browser through an embedded video player. It seems that the site only accepts Mozilla Firefox browser at the moment.
The movies are new, but looking at the quality, I’m pretty sure the picture was taken with a handheld cam. Seeing that this is a free service, it makes me wonder how a site like this can still exist on the web. Wouldn’t it get shut down?
The site seems to have a lot of visitors and members, so I’m quite sure it has been established for quite some time.
Actually, upon checking on the domain name, the domain was created/established back in February 2007 (over a year now!)
I tried watching Kung Fu Panda on the site, and the videos actually worked (see screenshot below):
However, I quickly turn it off again after grabbing a screenshot for this post. I’d rather enjoy the movie on a big screen or at least on a higher quality. I’d rather not to watch the movie rather than watching a bad-low-quality one.
Nevertheless, if you really don’t have a cent to spend on cinemas or DVDs, you may want to look at this watching movie online site. Legal or not, the site exists and maybe one day, it will be shut down, who knows?

Well you can tell they are Illegal, but you don’t get in trouble for watching them, Sadly they close down this sites instead of Yahoo or Youtube *who are the one that host this Pirated stuff.
The site itself is legal because it just links to sites that have the movie available to watch. They don’t host any of the movies themselves which makes them not doing anything but passing on the information.
I visit this site almost daily to watch the movies on there
Nice post mike.. thanks for sharing that site.. (embed in your screenshot pic)

So it’s sort of similar like Torrent sites, eh? They don’t host the files themselves, just the torrent files
Happy watching, but don’t stay up too late
i think this is what they call fredom of information .
as they look at movies and arts as part of human knowledge should all be free .
but even if i thought of downloading stolen movie or warez dvd i’ll just do as you said . [ high quality ]
movie in low quality doesn’t even worth time spent on it
but as for me . there is super-huge cinema right 2 blocks away frommy home . so that whole movie thing isn’t that issue
If it’s free it will be really salable. there are lots of freebies online and supposed to be, they are to be licensed before showing to public.
Even in DVDs, VCDs we see those notations that those things cannot be simply shown without proper authority. But as you said, it is not of the highest quality so it;s up to the watcher if they wanna see or not.
However, judging from that Kun fu Panda you screen shot, it looks fine though.
My site offers hundreds of free movie sites, all streaming

Yeah, if the quality is too low, it’s far more worth it to just watch them on DVDs than a sucky small online version.
I also heard about “free online movie streaming” but never tried watching any. As you said, I do agree that watching a movie in big screen or a high quality DVD is better.

There are some free movies websites that actually are legal. This article gives links to some legit sites:

i don’t think watching movie online is ellegal because it is available on the net if it is ellegal i think there is no one publishing movie online like online streaming.

Actually, I think it depends on the websites where you choose to watch the movies, because not all the websites that offer movies for download or online streaming are legal.
There’s actually a pretty interesting article about this here:http://audials.com/en/blog/article/34/3-ways-to-legally-download-movies-and-videos-from-the-internet.html
Thanks for sharing, John
i think watch-movies, is watch-movies-links.net now.
