Has anyone ever watched movies on Youtube? I've done so lots of times. Usually, if there's a movie that I'd like to watch, and I don't own it nor am I able to go out and rent it, I'll see if it's on Youtube and watch it there. I also like to see if Youtube has movies I've never seen and watch them there.

I've watched several full-length movies on YouTube, typically old movies from the 1960s and 1970s when I was growing up.

It's not perfect, but sometimes it is the only way to watch a movie that you last saw 30 years ago and can't find in your local DVD shop.

I have done this, and there are occasionally some good ones as well.

I've seen a few really cool films on youtube. One of them was that Lee Evans film Freeze Frame.

I often watch feature length documentaries and films which have disappeared into the abyss! Youtube is great for that!

I usually watch films rangeing from the 1930s - 50s on Youtube. Theres a lot of channels that have these films in code so they are not removed by copyright.

The video rental business is dying fast. Your chances of finding rare vids and movies are far better with Youtube anyway.

I like Netflix. I also like to watch episodes of Enterprise on startrek.com. Occasionally I'll also watch a movie on Hulu too.

I've been watching the early episodes of Home and Away for the past year or so on YouTube. I'm currently up to episode 392 (1989).

Have I helped support movie piracy by watching films on YouTube? No.

How I watched films online through legal means, such as Netflix? Yes.

If oyu want to watch full tv episodes and not have the hassle of having to wait up to an hour after having watched three and a bit half hour(really 20-22 minute without the ads) episodes try tvdex. It's how I'm watching the early seasons of Big Bang Theory.
