As an alternative you can also use https://www.justwatch.com/us/movies?monetization_types=free,ads https://www.justwatch.com/us/movies?monetization_types=free,... and find a lot of free and legal content in a nice to browse interface. Disclaimer: I work there

Except for viewers residing outside of the US. Edit: Ok, I used dewey's link above which doesn't make it obvious you can change the country you're viewing from and then be presented with content for the UK. So for the UK it'd be: https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movies?monetization_types=free,ads https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movies?monetization_types=free,... To be honest pretty much every movie I tried here was either: - Free with Amazon Prime (you need a paid subscription) - Available on BBC iPlayer (you need a paid TV License) - Available on BFI player (subscription based. Also good luck getting their shitty player to work even on a bog standard Windows 10 OS with Chrome, Firefox or IE - even with every plugin turned off - even NowTV makes a better fist of this, and they still insist on you downloading a separate player if you want to watch on Windows.) - Free but Ads - mostly provided by tubi.tv which at the moment is unavailable for EU users due to GDPR. Ok, maybe I could subscribe to a VPN, but meh. So I kinda think my assertion still stands.

  Not sure where your criticism about Amazon Prime comes from. If you select Prime and Free/Ads it doesn't give any results for me. I wasn't aware of the Tubi TV issue, thanks for mentioning it. https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movies?providers=amz,amp&monetization_types=free,ads https://www.justwatch.com/uk/movies?providers=amz,amp&moneti...

    In the UK you need a licence to watch live TV broadcast (however you watch those, and where ever they're broadcast from), and also since 2016 for BBC iPlayer. "live", "tv", "broadcast", etc are all defined in the law. It's a bit cumbersome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_United_Kingdom#When_a_TV_licence_is_required https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Un...

This is a very good website and I find myself using it a lot (especially to compare pricing of streaming movies). I was actually missing something like this and did start building something to help but then I saw justwatch and abandoned my efforts. One more feature that might be useful would be to show if the movie we are searching for is scheduled to play on a network sometime in the future.

Thanks for sharing, I was looking for a service like that. Looks great. It's a shame I can only register my account via Google or Facebook though :( maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't find any other way to register

What is the point of having a footer on a website with an infinite scroll?
