Watch free movies legally online
Find
out where you can watch movies for next to nothing...

Pay less to watch the movies!
If you’re
a major film buff, you might find that keeping up with all the latest
films is a pretty costly hobby. After all, paying a trip to the cinema
can work out to be around £10 a ticket - so several trips a month
soon add up.
However, if you’re happy not to watch
movies the minute they’ve been released and can wait a little longer,
there are plenty of cheaper ways to catch up with your film viewing.
Free movie websites
Believe it or not, there are several
websites that allow you to watch movies online for free – legally. Here
are just a few of them:
Blinkbox
Blinkbox.com
is one of my favourites and allows you to
watch hundreds of movies absolutely free ! Of course, many of these free films are a little old, so
if you’d prefer to watch something more recent, you can also buy or
rent a selection of films for a small fee – from as little as 99p.
All of these films are streamed
instantaneously to PC, MAC, TV and PS3. And if you need to catch up on
your favourite TV show, you can also watch these for free!
Indie Movies Online
Indiemoviesonline.com
allows you to watch independent films
online, again, for free. You can watch as many films as you like and as
many times as you like. All you have to do is register (for free) and
you’ll then be sent an email each week with details about the new films
the company has licensed.
|
Crackle
Crackle.com allows you to watch movies and TV shows on your
computer/laptop free of charge. However, you will have to put up with
adverts during your viewing. What’s more, the choice of movies is more
limited for UK users.
Entertainment Magazine
The
Entertainment magazine website allows you to instantly watch a
selection of free movies or download them to play later on your PC or
your mobile. You can choose from adventure, cartoon, comedy, drama,
horror/sci-fi or Western films and no membership is required.
Be warned, however, if you’re looking for
really recent stuff, you’ll need to look elsewhere!
Rental services
Alternatively,
you could consider signing up to a film rental service.
Since the introduction of LoveFilm,
more and more of these services
have been springing up everywhere.
If you sign up to LoveFilm, you can choose
from a range of packages
starting from just £3.99 a month – which will give you two
rentals a
month. If you’re a really keen film watcher, you can go the whole hog
and get unlimited rentals for £16.99 (and there are plenty of
other
options in between).
There’s also a pay as you go option, in
which you can buy ‘credits’ for
the rental service as and when you want them. Each credit equals one
rental. For example, for £6 you’ll get three credits, so three
rentals.
Credits last for three months so make sure you’ve used them up in time!
|
However,
it’s also possible to watch a range of films online at
LoveFilm free of
charge – even if you’re not a member. That said,
the
selection isn’t terribly inspiring so don’t expect to be watching the
latest releases. If you’re a member, the options become slightly better
and if you’re prepared to pay per view, the choice improves further.
easyCinema is
another rental service worth looking at. Here you can buy
a batch of four credits for £7.96, seven credits for £13.93
or 10
credits for £19.90. When you run out of credits, you simply buy
more.
Credits with easyCinema run out after 90 days.
And you might also want to browse Tesco
DVD rental which offers
packages such as two films a month for £3.97, four films a month
for
£7.47 or unlimited films for £14.97.
Preview screenings
It's not only online that you can watch
movies for free. If you’re
really keen to still get to the cinema, there are other ways to watch
films cheaply. Websites such as See Film
First and Momentum
Pictures
offer regular preview screenings for free and are well worth checking
out. Simply sign up and wait for an email to tell you when the next
preview is.
Unlimited access
If you go to the cinema on a regular basis,
you could also consider an
unlimited access pass. For £13.50 a month, Cineworld offers an Unlimited Card which gives you access to unlimited movies, any time,
any day. Just bear in mind that this doesn’t include London West End
Cinemas and if you’re watching a 3D film, there’s an additional charge
of £1.50.
What’s more, you’ll get preferential
invitations and discounted tickets
to exclusive screenings, festivals and events. You can also take part
in exclusive competitions and exclusive cinema food and drink offers.

Calling
all film buffs! If you love nothing more than watching a good movie,
here are nine ways to do so without hurting your wallet.

Calling all film buffs! If you love nothing more than
watching a good movie, here are nine ways to do so without hurting your
wallet.
I'm a big fan of going to the cinema. But by the time I've paid for a
ticket, a drink and some popcorn and/or sweets, I find the costs really
stack up.
So if you're a big movie fan, but need to try and save the pennies, how
can you enjoy the cinema for less?
1) Orange Wednesdays
If you're an Orange
customer, then you're really lucky! That's because you can get your
hands on two for one cinema tickets every Wednesday. All you need to do
is text 'FILM' to 241 on your mobile, or simply call 241.
However, if you're not already an Orange customer, don't panic! If you
sign up here you can get an Orange SIM card plus £5 credit
absolutely free. Simply pop the SIM into your mobile, call up and
register to activate your credit, and away you go! Texts cost 35p.
One thing worth bearing in mind is that you may need to unlock your
mobile in order for the SIM to work. But you can do usually do this
pretty cheaply through websites such as Unique Phones.
Finally, don't forget that if you fancy treating yourself to dinner
before the movie starts, as part of the Orange Wednesdays offer, you
can also get 2 for 1 on main
courses at Pizza Express! You'll also get free
garlic bread or dough balls. Simply download this voucher and bring it along with you, as well as your Orange
Wednesdays text ticket.
2) Watch it first!
Websites such as See Film
First and Momentum
Pictures offer regular preview screenings for free.
All you have to do is sign up and wait for an email telling you when
the next preview is!
It's worth noting that tickets are served on a first come first served
basis, so you will have to be quick if you want to secure a seat.
|
3) Unlimited access
If you're a really big film fan and regularly pay a visit to the
cinema, one option worth considering is applying for an unlimited
access pass. Cineworld cinemas offer such a thing, giving you access to
unlimited movies, any time, any day. You'll have to pay £13.50
per
month for at least 12 months*, but given that an adult ticket can cost
as much as £8.20 (depending on where you live), this works out to
be
really good value if you're going to go to the cinema several times a
month.
What's more, your unlimited pass will get you preferential invitations
and discounted tickets to Cineworld Exclusive Advance Screenings,
festivals and events. And you'll receive exclusive cinema food and
drink offers.
4) Go Lastminute
If you're fairly flexible about when you can go to the cinema and what
you see, Lastminute.com has teamed up with Vue Cinemas in London to
offer cinema tickets for just £6.49. A standby Vue cinema voucher
gives
you entry to 14 Vue cinemas in and around the capital.
Unfortunately, the offer is only valid Monday to Thursday, you must
book your tickets by 4pm on the day of the viewing, and you cannot
choose which film you can go to. You'll also have to pay a 65p booking
fee per ticket.
5) Discounts for the kids...
Now it's the school holidays, trying to occupy the kids can be tricky.
But both Vue cinemas and Odeon offer various kids clubs so that the
little ones can watch films at fabulous prices.
Vue's Kids AM club
runs every day and kids can watch a film for just
£1.70 each. What's more, accompanying adults go free. (One adult
with
every child goes free. Extra adults are charged £1.70 each.)
Meanwhile, Odeon Kids runs every Saturday and Sunday morning as well as
every day throughout most school holidays. Viewings cost around
£2.50
and again, with every child ticket, you get an adult ticket free.
6) And for the more senior viewers...
Certain cinemas also hold screenings for more 'mature' viewers. For
example, the Odeon's Senior Screen
allows you to go along and meet
friends for a mid-morning screening and enjoy free tea and coffee
before the screening. Ticket prices vary from cinema to cinema, but are
usually around £3 to £4.50. |
7) Go early
Some cinemas offer cheaper tickets for those of you who are prepared to
go to an early screening. For example, if you went to the Vue cinema in
Northampton to see Harry Potter on Thursday at 9.45am, you'd pay
£5.50
for an adult ticket. But if you went at 8pm the same day, an adult's
ticket would cost £6.80. (Child ticket unchanged at £4.85.)
Similarly, if you go before noon at selected Cineworld cinemas, you
will also get a discount. Tickets are also usually cheaper before 5pm.
8) Bring your own
Cinema food and drink prices are sky high and usually at least double
what you would pay in your local newsagent/supermarket. So if you
really want to bring down the cost, bring your own popcorn, sweets and
drinks, or even go without! Just avoid parading them around as some
cinemas prefer you not to bring in your own food and drink .
9) Rent it out
Of course, if you'd prefer to watch a film from the comfort of your own
sofa, why not rent a DVD? Rather than popping down to your local rental
shop, it can work out much cheaper to sign up to an online rental
company such as LoveFilm
Right now, if you sign up to LoveFilm, you'll receive 14 days free
unlimited DVD rentals. After that, you can choose from a range of
packages starting from just £3.91 a month (giving you two DVD
rentals a
month), up to £15.65 a month (unlimited rentals). Just make sure
you
watch the films, otherwise you could be throwing money down the drain.
And if you have a friend who is already a member of LoveFilm, ask
him/her to introduce you and you'll both get 30 days free!
If you'd prefer a pay as you go option, you're in luck. LoveFilm also
offers a service where you buy 'credits' for the rental service as and
when you want them. For example, you can buy four credits for
£9.78.
Each credit equals one rental. Credits are valid for six months from
the date of purchase - if you don't use them in that time, they will
expire.
Similarly, easyCinema also
runs on credits. Here you can buy a batch of
four credits for £7.96, seven credits for £13.93 or 10
credits for
£19.90. When you run out of credits, you simply buy more. Credits
with
easyCinema run out after 90 days.
So there you have it - nine easy ways to make the most of the movies
without blowing the budget! Enjoy!
* Offer excludes London West End Cinemas. London West End Cinemas are
Chelsea, Fulham Road, Haymarket and Shaftsbury Avenue. You're tied in
for an initial 12 months. |
