Streaming movies is always a much sought after topic on the internet, since we can now find everything on the net. Watching movies on the internet, on PC or even on TV (by connecting the PC to the TV or using the Chromecast), is a nice convenience, because we can choose the movie or TV 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 don't know where to look, risking ending up in dangerous websites full of viruses and malware, which open pop-ups and downloads of malicious programs with every click.
If we are looking for something simple, safe, legal, without deception and without dangers for your PC and personal data, we carefully avoid pirated streaming sites and instead rely on legal sites to watch movies in straming .
In this guide we will show both the best sites that offer free and legal streaming movies, and the services that offer films upon payment of a monthly subscription.

Sites to watch free streaming movies
There aren't many sites that offer free movies in compliance with the law, plus we shouldn't expect films that have recently come out in theaters.
But with a little luck we can find the films already broadcast on standard TV channels or that the rights have been acquired from one of the sites listed below.
1) RaiPlay, the official Rai website allows you to see the broadcasting of channels live from PC and also offers a section of the site where you can find, in addition to fiction, many free movies to watch in streaming, many of which are recent (if broadcast on TV channels).
The page where you can find the movies directly is available here -> RaiPlay Movies .
To be able to watch movies on RaiPlay you need to register for a free account; if we don't already have one, we can get it by filling in all the necessary fields on the registration page.
2) VVVVID is an online TV full of recent films, episodic TV shows and cartoons of Japanese origin (it is in fact the best site for those who love Japan and Japanese video content), but also with some American films.
The site requires the registration of an account (free) and divides the various channels by genre, in order to easily find a movie or TV show to watch.
Of VVVVID there are also the app for Android and the app for iPhone and iPad.
3) Popcorn TV is a web TV that has existed for several years now, legal, with many American films (not very famous but still interesting to watch) in its archive. Even if there are no big movie hits, all films are freely visible without registration and totally free of charge.
The only precaution is to remove any block of advertising type, since before the reproduction of the advertising videos will be played to finance the site and to earn something to those who keep on this legal streaming platform.
4) Mediaset Play is the site that offers on-demand streaming many Mediaset films and fictions (but also many Universal Studios films), which can be enjoyed online without limits.
The only request is access through a free account, which we can subscribe to anywhere on the site by clicking on the Login button (also present at the top right) and then on Register .

Sites to watch paid or subscription streaming movies
After seeing the sites that offer streaming movies for free, in this section we see the Web services that offer paid films or upon payment of a monthly subscription.
1) Amazon Prime Video is a site of movies and TV series streamed in first vision and in Italian, accessible without limits if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime service.
The films are not many, but we can find many great classics, films that have made the history of cinema and action films of all kinds.
We marked it as a first choice because the subscription is very convenient ( only € 36 per year, also considering all the other Prime benefits ).
2) Infinity by Mediaset presents many films and TV series, including first-run films and numerous box-office hits at the cinema.
If we love cinema, this is one of the best sites to subscribe to to watch movies at home.
Infinity also has its own apps for mobiles and tablets and supports watching on TV via Chromecast.
Infinity also has a great subscription price, starting from € 7.99 per month .
3) NowTV allows you to access the platform's films and some channels that broadcast non-stop films without the need for a satellite dish, all via the Internet.
By activating the subscription we will be able to see the films offered on-demand (many of the latest successes in the cinema) and at the same time access the Sky Cinema channels offered in streaming (lower quality than satellite, but still acceptable to be seen on FullHD TV).
The subscription price is € 9.99 per month, choosing only the Cinema ticket.
4) Netflix is perhaps the most famous streaming site, even if it is mainly dedicated to those who love TV series (since there are many exclusives produced by Netflix itself).
However, there are many successful films, which are constantly updated in order to offer the best user experience.
Netflix also has the highest video quality ever (full support for 4K HDR), it also works with slow internet connections, has its apps for iPhone and Android and supports Chromecast to watch movies even on TV in WiFi.
The Netflix subscription starts from € 7.99 per month for the basic subscription (one user and no HD), up to the most expensive subscription (€ 13.99 per month for 4K HDR and up to 4 devices in simultaneous display).

4) MyMovies Live is a streaming section of the MyMovies website, the most important for Italian cinema.
The Live section provides the opportunity to register for a free account and to watch movies when they are broadcast or to reserve a seat for live events.
By paying the Premium subscription, which costs € 1.99 per week or € 6.90 per month, you can instead watch all the streaming movies without limitations.
6) Rental films, sale films and where to find specific films
To end the discussion on movies streamed online, if we want to see a particular movie once in a while, you can take advantage of online movie rental services such as Google Play Movies, iTunes, TimVision, Chili and the special section of movies on demand on Youtube.
In these web portals it is possible to choose a film and pay it individually 2 or 3 Euros (to view it via the Internet on PC or TV) as was done with Blockbuster.
Finally, taking advantage of the features of the Trovastreaming site, it is possible to discover the platform where a specific film is and obtain programming of the main online streaming sites.
The Vodkey website is similar, but specializes in the most important films that can be viewed for free online every week
