From Bob Irish, retirement expert, Palm Beach Research Group: We all love the convenience of watching movies at home. But you don’t have to pay your cable company extra for movie channels… or fork over $5 on every rental.
Try out these options instead:
-
Redbox lets you watch movies for free. That’s right. Redbox wants to bring in new users, so it releases a code every day for a free one-day rental. (Note: Late returns are charged the usual rate of $1 per day.)
-
Open Culture and Archive boast thousands of free movies online in genres like great classics, indie films, Westerns, film noir, documentaries, and a number of silent films.
-
Crackle is completely free but has received some complaints about its user interface, streaming speed, and glitches. Still, if you like the idea of free entertainment, check it out.
-
Hulu does right by its customers by keeping the most up-to-date and in-demand shows at its viewers’ fingertips—for free. It has not, however, caved from pressure to cut down on the number of commercials throughout its shows. Hulu continues to get high ratings, however, and can be found at Hulu.com or through a streaming device.
-
If you’re in a more serious mood, head to DocumentaryHeaven where you can browse over 1,600 top-notch documentaries in categories like biographies, conspiracies, and health.
