That old saying �If it looks too good to be true, it probably is� hits the mark when it comes to downloading free movies. Yes, you can download some movies; but if you find a site advertising the latest Indiana Jones or Sex in the City Movie for free downloads, it is a scam. More than a scam, actually; these first-run movies have been pirated (stolen) and placed on the internet for others to download.
Movies which are currently showing in theaters simply are not available for free download � legally � it is that simple. Yes, some sites will offer the latest blockbusters but these copies are obtained and distributed illegally. As a consumer, if you knowingly download illegal material, you can be prosecuted by the law. Because artists, unions and film companies are feeling ripped-off by these �pirates�, more laws are being introduced and enforced more strictly than ever.
You can find many hours of viewing pleasure, if you are willing to �think outside the box� a little bit. If you will consider older movies and documentaries, you can have access to a large selection of free movie downloads. In addition to classic films and documentaries, you will find many sites which offer free trailers, clips, extra-footage and additional information about the films, their shooting schedules, actors, etc.
Independent films and documentaries can also be downloaded for free from many internet sites. Some independent films have gone on to win an Academy Award, so you might just get a first glimpse of an Oscar-winner. Moviesfoundonline.com opens the door to many fine independent films and documentaries.
Apple Movie Trailers is a great site to visit. Here, you can spend hours watching clips, trailers and out-takes from many very famous movies. Some more obscure films are also featured and equally entertaining.
If you are a classic film buff, Turner Classic Movies will definitely appeal to you. Turner offers hundreds of clips, trailers and footage of some of the best movies ever made. Additionally, once films are no longer under copyright restriction, Turner offers you the ability to download them at no charge. Currently, you can download �McClintock�, starring John Wayne. This is only one of many good movies available for no charge and at your convenience.
CinemaNow offers movies for rental � these movies are typically quite new. Currently, you can rent Sweeney Todd, Juno or No Country for Old Men (the Oscar winner) for $3.99 each. �Renting� at CinemaNow means downloading the movie to your computer � unlike Netflix (and others) that ships the actual DVDs to your home. You can not burn the movies you rent from CinemaNow to DVD � they contain encryption codes that prohibit such action. | | Author Info: Isaiah Henry is a free movie downloads expert writer for Movies and Downloads, which offers movie lovers free tips, reviews and other resources on movie sites, such as Netflix. |
