Streaming movies is always a highly sought-after topic on the internet, since we can now find everything on the net.Watch movies on the internet, on your PC or even on TV (connecting the PC to the TV or using il chromecast), is a great convenience, because we can choose the film or show to watch without having to wait for it to be broadcast by a TV channel.
The big problem for those who want to watch movies online and who often do not know where to look, risking to end up in dangerous websites full of viruses and malware, which open popups and downloads of malicious programs with each click. If we look for something simple, safe, legal, without deception and without danger for your PC and personal data, we carefully avoid pirated streaming sites and rely on legal sites to watch movies in streaming.
In this guide we will show both the top sites that offer free and legal streaming movies, both services that offer films upon payment of a monthly subscription.
