How to download and watch legal and free movies for Canadians

How to download and watch legal and free movies for Canadians

Many of my friends joke with me that I don’t watch movies. I have not seen Jaws, any of the Star Wars, Harry Potter, or even Avatar. I enjoy watching documentaries and dumb comedies.

[quote]Analyzing the audiences at Cineplex movie theatres across Canada, watching movies is not going away anytime soon.[/quote]

The stock pays a nice 5.1% dividend yield at the moment but the Price/Earnings Ratio is at 29.60 at the moment. This is a little too pricey at those levels for myself.

With the price of admission to a movie close to $12 (depending where you live in Canada), I wanted to share some free resources to watch and download movies online in Canada legally.

[box type=”tick”]Several websites are available for free to Canadians that allow you to watch free feature-length movies online.[/box]

IndieMoviesOnline

This is a fully licensed video-on-demand site, packed full of free movies, documentaries and short films to watch online.

Active since 2009, they support independent film and filmmakers, by acquiring new and classic indie movies for the site and making them available online for people to watch and enjoy.

Global TV

Global TV has a special section that lets you view several older movies but still great titles like, The Professional and All The Pretty Horses.  The section changes every month.

YouTube Movies/Free Section

You can watch feature length movies, shorts, and trailers on YouTube. They are always adding new movies frequently including classics, documentaries, and independent films.

Rogers on Demand

Did you know that Rogers had FREE movies available in addition to their regular pay-per-view online movies. You do not have to be a Rogers customer either. They currently have Lovely & Amazing, Saw, and The Big Kahuna.
