Popcornflix

Look, there's no way to get around this. Free movie streaming services need to have cheap content to license, which means that those looking for blockbuster studio movies will likely be disappointed. But if you love low-budget, b-movie trash, then you'll be happy as a pig in the mud on services such as Popcornflix. The service has a huge library, mostly consisting of wonderfully weird genre fare, including the mind-bending Scott Adkins vehicle Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, killer unicorn horror movie CarousHell, and so many Steven Seagal flicks. Sure, you'll sometimes get a classier entry, like Leigh Janiak's thoughtful horror movie Honeymoon, but Popcornflix is really the place to get all the goofy genre goodness you could want.

Plex

"Meet your TV concierge" declares Plex's homepage. Sure, sites love making grandiose claims like that, but with Plex, they might be right. Plex started as a way to stream media saved on your computer, and while that's still a big part of the service, it's expanded into a quality free movie service. Unlike most of the free services, Plex makes its Hollywood movies easy to find, giving you direct access to Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct, Kathryn Bigelow's war drama The Hurt Locker, and Bill Murray's spy comedy The Man Who Knew Too Little. Plex doesn't scrimp on the foreign and indie movies either, with access to the excellent A24 drama The Farewell and great Korean horror movie The Wailing. All this comes commercial-free, making Plex one of the best options on this list.

Roku Channel

If you want to watch the absurd biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, you can only go to one place: the Roku Channel. Yes, you read that right — Roku isn't just a device you plug into your tv to access streaming services. It's a quality service in its own right. At first glance, the Roku Channel emphasizes tv shows, offering full series of the original Quantum Leap and Babylon 5. But if you look a little closer, you'll find a robust library of free to watch movies, including the aforementioned Weird Al biopic starring Daniel Radcliffe. Offerings include 1979's The Amityville Horror, the 2007 teen comedy Superbad, and Spike Lee's classic Do the Right Thing. The Roku Channel takes a bit more dexterity to navigate, but it's definitely worth it to watch these great movies for free.
