4. AT YOUR HOME

I for one love the experience of watching movies in my own home. It gives me a chance to rewind or pause scenes whenever I need to. Also, I do not have to worry about laughing so hard or dressing up for countless minutes. What is my secret? 1 word…YouTube.

Catch a free flick or two in the comforts of your own home by watching at YouTube’s Movies playlist at youtube.com/user/YouTubeMoviesWW. It has a myriad of films that are Russian, English, Hindi, Dutch, Tamil, Korean, French, and so much more. The films under this playlist are legal as they are copyright supported.

Are you a fan of Drama and Romance movies? Well, this classic film entitled “The Last Time I Saw Paris”, starring the legendary Elizabeth Taylor, will be worth your time.
