Watch Free Movies Online at Home with Pals

The holiday movie season is also awards season, so many film companies release the big guns at this time. This means cinemas can get pretty crowded and noisy, turning what should be a relaxing activity into a stress-laden one. Fortunately, you don’t have to brave the crowds. Just watch free movies online and enjoy them with your pals. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Set a theme.

Make it feel like a film festival set right at home by having a theme. Be considerate, and think of movies that everyone will enjoy. Don’t make your friends watch foreign language films if they are not into them. Instead, go for movies that will sit well with everyone. Flicks like “Broke” and “Getting Wasted” are great choices.

Prison Movies that Set us Free

Audiences flock to the cinema or look for free movies to watch online in order to witness the protagonist’s triumph over the evil antagonist or prison system. These films take us out of our comfort zone to momentarily set us free from the doldrums of daily life. Here are some titles that should be in any film junkie’s bucket list.
