Popcornflix: Stream Movies and Shows for Free

Popcornflix is a perfectly legal website that lets you watch full-length, free movies in both the U.S. and Canada. You'll see a lot of actors and actresses you recognize in movies you've heard of and some you haven't.

No registration is required, so you'll be enjoying your chosen movie or TV show in seconds. This video streaming service is ad-supported, however, so you'll have to sit through a few commercial breaks.

Popcornflix has a nice-sized collection of free streaming movies in common and popular genres like comedy, drama, action, horror, romance, Sci-Fi, documentaries, family, Espanol, bro movies, and foreign films.

Popcornflix lets you watch episodes from several film school originals and web series, too, such as Regenesis, Women Behind Bars, Cheaters, Sonic the Hedgehog, Legend of Zelda, and America's Dumbest.

You can search for movies by their titles or check out the New Arrivals or Most Popular pages.

Popcornflix has two entirely separate websites as well: FrightPix and Popcornflix Kids. They both look almost identical to Popcornflix but the first offers only horror films and the second features movies for kids.

Some of the categories of scary movies at FrightPix include scary good, sexy horror, paranormal, demons, vampires, slasher, zombies, cult, and creepy documentaries. A few movies you can find there include The Attic, Mask Maker, Specimen, Dead Tone, Bitten, Dark Night of the Scarecrow, Breeders, Devil in the Flesh, CO2, Big Bad Wolf, From the Shadows, Alice in Murderland, and Jack Frost 2 Revenge of the Mutant Killer Snowman.

Popcornflix Kids categorizes its movies in sections like "Cartoons", "Come Sing Along", "Pop Junior (1-4)", "Pop Junior (4-10)", "Girl Power", "Fairy Tales", "Fun For the Family", and others. Some of the more popular Popcornflix videos for kids include Eye of the Dolphin, Cinderella, The Nutcracker, The Good Witch, Popeyes Greatest Tall Tales and Heroic Adventures, Jack and the Beanstalk, White Lion, and The Little Mermaid.

There's a free movie app available, too, so you can watch Popcornflix's movies on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. There's also one for BlackBerry, Amazon Kindle, and Android devices.

If you'd rather watch the free movies and shows at Popcornflix on a larger screen, you might be interested in the app for Roku, Xbox, or PS4 devices. There's even one for Samsung TVs.

The Popcornflix Kids website has a mobile app, too, for iOS devices. This app is different from the regular Popcornflix app in that there are only kids' movies here, just like on the website. This is a good idea for children so they don't accidentally stumble on scary or inappropriate content.

There are mobile apps for the FrightPix service, too, for Android, iOS, and more.

Popcornflix is owned by Screen Media Ventures, a large independent movie distributor, and that's where it gets its films. This is a partnership, so the movies are completely legal to stream.

If you're not sold on Popcornflix after trying it out — and we think you will be — lots of other websites let you watch movies for free and they're 100 percent legal to use.

Some examples include Viewster, SnagFilms, YouTube, Classic Cinema Online, Tubi, Internet Archive Movie Archive, and Watch Documentary. Check out one or more of them to see how they compare to Popcornflix.
