What do you think when you hear the phrase "free movies online"? Is it suspicion of copyright infringement, shadowy looking download sites, or excitement over the tremendous viewing possibilities? As the checkered past of free movies online has many people cautious, let's set the record straight about the right places to watch free movies online.

Some of the new players are Crackle, EPIX, Fancast, and SlashControl. Crackle is supported by Sony Pictures and it has hundreds of free movies for example Ghostbusters, Godzilla, and St. Elmo's Fire. EPIX is the new movie site from Paramount, MGM, and Lionsgate, and will be the perfect area to watch Ironman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and several more popular movies. Fancast is supported by the cable giant Comcast and it has hundreds more movies, such as Chaplin, Captain America, and Naked Gun 2.5.

SlashControl was started by AOL TimeWarner, and it has many more movies such as Sparticus, Ronin, and the classic western Hang 'em High. Those sites join the additional mainstays of free movies, including Hulu, Veoh, and Joost. Even YouTube has jumped on the bandwagon and legally hosts free movies online, such as classic Shirley Temple films like The Little Princess and Heidi.

Several TV sites in addition have films online, including American Movie Classics (AMC), Syfy, ABC Family, and TNT. If you have a Netflix subscription, the Watch Instantly feature comes free for the Owner account. Top films to watch online include Wall-E, Bolt, The Nightmare Before Christmas, as well as the extensive number of STARZ play. Therefore, if you're going to watch a movie on a computer, here are a few quick tips:

Turn the screen saver and power save features to longer than the length of the movie.
If watching via an affordable wireless router, like the ones AT&T U-Verse hands out for free, make certain the router is well ventilated, as extended viewing movie could cause some minor over-heating, causing the router to reset, thus causing the film to take an unexpected intermission.
Otherwise, sit-back and enjoy.
