Rating: 4.5 stars Kanopyis the exception among all free movie streaming services in two major ways: no ads, and an eye-popping array of current and recent Oscar winners. Instead of being ad-supported, so no annoying ads interrupting your cinematic enjoyment, Kanopy, which offers 30,000 titles with around 300-500 new titles added each month, is supp...
Rating: 3.5 stars In Brief: While FXNowis mostly a site to promote original FX/Hulu TV series, you also get a great selection of recent well-known and high-quality films, but most have been edited for time and format (i.e., aspect ratio) as if the film was being run on broadcast TV. Pros: 1. Widely spaced commercials – first ad doesn't appear until...
Rating: 3 Stars In Brief: Tubihas a surprisingly impressive roster of 15,000 well-known recent and classic titles as well as TV shows, most presented in their original aspect ratio. However, many titles only are available for viewing for an unspecified period of time, sometimes just a few days. Pros: 1. Save to watch later (Tubi account) 2. Search ...

Rating: 2.5 stars In Brief: Primarily a streaming film rental site, but Vudu-Fandangodoes offer a limited number of ad-interrupted films you can watch for free. Pros: 1. Widely-spaced ad breaks – between 18-26 minutes – with only three ads per break 2. Filter films by Most Watched, Release Date, Year, MPAA rating, and Rotten Tomato rating (Fresh On...
Rating: 2 stars In Brief: Similar to Pluto TV, Xumois primarily a "live" TV service with 190-plus channels, but also offers on-demand streaming movies. Xumo offers an interesting collection of films, including nearly 150 Bollywood flicks, but it lacks many of the features offered on other free movie services. Pros: 1. Wide choice of Bollywood films...
Rating: 1.5 stars In Brief: Similar to Crackle and offering many of the same movies – often labeled as coming from Crackle – but no original content, Plexfocuses mostly on action-adventure films of more recent vintage but with few well-known titles. You get a save-to-list and some customization options by signing up with email address or through Ro...
Rating: 1 star In Brief: More than 40,000 films and TV shows, few of which are recognizable, with few frills; FilmRiseseems like a clearing house to supply films to over ad-supported SVODs. Pros: 1.
