Watching movies and TV shows for free is no less than a luxury these days. Although many paid streaming sites are available on the Internet, not everyone wants to pay for their subscriptions. They prefer using free streaming platforms to watch their favorite movies and TV shows.
There are a lot of these platforms on the Internet as well. However, not all of them offer quality features and content.
I have used and tested several free old and new movie streaming sites. In this article, I aim to discuss the top 5 of them. These are my top picks that make the whole streaming experience convenient and fun. Let’s start.
Top 5 Best Free Streaming Platforms:
These platforms are listed below in order of my preference:
1. Fmovies:
Fmovies is the first free streaming platform that you should try out. I have placed it at the first number because of many reasons. The biggest one is its simplicity. This website has a simple yet attractive user interface.
Its homepage consists of three major sections. The first section contains the top suggested movies by the site itself. The second section, it has listed all the latest movies. The third section is dedicated to the latest TV series.
Other common features like multiple genres, organized categories, functional media player, etc., are also available in it. But my favorite feature is the availability of the “Top IMDB” section. I visit this section whenever I can’t decide what to watch.
This section has listed all the top-rated movies and series on IMDB. So, I can watch the ones that most cinephiles have rated high.
Pros:
- It has a large content library.
- The subtitles are authentic and well-synced.
- Well-organized user interface.
- The option for watching a trailer is available for each film.
Cons:
- There’s no profile sign-up option available.
- Some server links may not work.
2. Sflix:
Sflix is the second free streaming site I am going to recommend here. In most cases, its functionality is similar to Fmovies.
But there are some extra features that I like. For example, it gives you the option of creating an account on this website. Besides that, it has a section of “Coming Soon”.
In this section, Sflix lists all the movies and TV shows that it is working on to publish on the site. So, you always know what to expect from this website next.
Also, I love how the site uploads multilingual subtitles for many movies and shows. It is a very useful feature to attract an international audience.
The site also provides more than one server for each movie. You always have another option in case any server doesn’t work.
Since users can create their accounts here, they can also comment on films. So, you might see these comments on popular movies and series. But this can be a broken function because I didn’t see any comment on the films that I checked.
Pros:
- The sign-up option is available.
- Attractive user interface.
- Good organization of genres and categories.
- Multilingual subtitles for many films.
Cons:
- No comments from users despite the availability of the option.
3. Aiyifan TV:
Another free streaming platform that everyone should try is Aiyifan TV. It is an ideal website for those who are interested in the Chinese cinema industry.
Its whole interface is in Chinese language which I still struggle with sometimes. But if you use a browser like Chrome, you can translate it into English automatically.
You can find different types of Chinese dramas and TV series here. Besides this, there are many Hollywood movies and shows as well. It is a very versatile and unique website. Apart from movies and TV shows, you can find trending social media videos and news here as well.
Another unique feature that I like is the availability of the premium version of this website. It offers some exclusive features to the subscribers. However, the free version is more than enough for a general user.
Pros:
- It is mainly dedicated to Chinese cinema
- There are social media videos and news available here.
- It also allows users to watch anime.
- It has an application version as well.
- Users can subscribe to its premium version.
Cons:
- The site’s interface is in the Chinese language.
- The interface looks very messy.
4. Soap2Day:
Soap2Day is another popular website where you can watch movies and TV shows for free. It is an advanced website that offers a bunch of very useful features. It is now integrating Artificial Intelligence into its functionality as well. It has an AI Search feature that helps users find films more precisely.
It is actually connected with ChatGPT. You can input a prompt in it and it will find relevant movies for you. In the example below, I asked it to suggest the best racing games. I got exactly the results I was hoping for.
Another useful feature of this website is its different category options. It has provided different options for that such as Top 250, Trending Movies, Trending TV Shows, etc. It helps the user find their required film easily.
Pros:
- Different category options
- AI Search
- App version is available
- It has a functional media player
Cons:
- You have to complete a CAPTCHA test before watching a film.
- The excessive number of ads can be a little annoying.
5. Letflix:
Last but not least, Letflix is another platform that you should give a try to stream free films. I like this website due to its attractive user interface. Its main page contains all the newly released popular movies. The categories and genre options are available on the left side of the page.
You can browse movies by country here as well. Besides this, there is also an Android app option available here. You also get other usual features like a functional media player, subtitles, multiple servers, etc.
The feature that I like the most on this site is its suggestions. It gives you movies that you may also on the webpage of any movie or series you watch.
Pros:
- Simple and easily navigable user interface.
- The Android app is available.
- An optional account creation option is available.
