You love watching movies! We all do.
You watch movies at home on your streaming devices like Roku and Apple TV. You watch movies on airplanes and in the car, especially this time of year when you’re going on summer vacation.
You watch movies on your TV set, your computer and your smartphone. Of course, you’re usually paying hundreds or thousands of dollars a year for the privilege, whether you’re paying a cable TV provider, Netflix, Google Play Movies & TV and others.
Hold off on paying for movies until you read this. There are thousands of FREE and legal movies that you can watch right now.
These include classics like 1946’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” with James Stewart, 1940’s “His Girl Friday” with Cary Grant, 1968’s “Night of the Living Dead” and many others. These movies have either lost their copyright protection or the movies’ creators gave up their copyright.
The trick is finding these movies. We’ve got the answers – keep reading for a few websites where you can watch FREE public domain movies.

Go to YouTube and type in “public domain movies” in the search bar. You’ll see loads of free movies, including “Gulliver’s Travels,” “Bells of St. Mary’s,” “The Little Shop of Horrors” and more.
