Free movies on your computer

Watching movies on a computer has changed the way people entertain themselves- no more network program schedles, and you can watch movies when you choose.

Free movies are available because they are either in the public domain, or the movie provider allows free viewing online. Public domain films are from the 20th Century, and do not have an active copyright. Learn more about public domain movies.

Choose Movie Playing Speeds

Most often, just choose the lfastest speed option available for 54Because of the variety of computers, Internet connections and software around the world, you might need to try different options to view the movies.

But, if you aren't sure about how to watch these movies, consider these points:

• Movies play best using a broadband, 3G, Wi-Fi or cable/satellite connection.
• When you click on a playing speed, just wait for the movie to begin. Most movie will start automatically or have a start button (sometimes a grey or white triangle in the middle of the screen to click).
• It depends on your computer's speed (GHz and RAM) and modem download speed (64k for modem or 256k for cable/DSL) how long it takes the movie to start. Older and slower computers will take longer.
• People using a dial up phone modem can still watch these movies. Just select the 64kb Modem Speed option, if available, and take a short break from your computer. You will hear the sound or music of the movie playing when the video starts. If no 64kb modem option is available, try the faster speeds to see if the movie will start to play. This options may take a minute or two to start playing. Please be patient. It is worth the wait. Go pop some popcorn.

These film files are very large files that have to be broken into "packets" or pieces and sent to a buffer on your computer to provide streaming video. If a packet doesn't make it, or arrives too slow, it may break up or stop the movie. Traffic on our site and the web overall is a factor. If you download the movie file to your computer, it will be complete and will play without pausing or stopping

Movie Playing Problems

If you experience jerking in the picture and sound, or a very slow start it means the connection serving the movie and the Internet traffic is backing up. Just wait for the buffer to catch up and the movie should start playing shortly afterwards. More movie problems and issues.

If the movie does not start after a few minutes, or you see a broken "Q" image in the middle of the screen, there may be a problem with the movie link. We are updating old links, so please report movies with broken "Q."
