That old saying �If it looks too good to be true, it probably is� hits the mark when it comes to downloading free movies. Yes, you can download some movies; but if you find a site advertising the latest Indiana Jones or Sex in the City Movie for free downloads, it is a scam. More than a scam, actually; these first-run movies have been pirated (stolen) and placed on the internet for others to download.

Do not be fooled by sites that offer free, first-run movies. First-run movies, which are currently playing in theaters, are illegal to download from any site free of charge. There are a number of these sites available, but they operate illegally and you can face legal woes if you knowingly download from their sites. What�s more, copy quality is typically quite bad as they are often recorded under poor circumstances. Many pirated copies are obtained by a movie-goer who sneaks a camcorder into a theater and records the movie from their seat. Needless to say, these are less than ideal circumstances and produce grainy, hard-to-watch films often accompanied by poor sound quality.

Turner Classic ...
... Movies is a site well worth visiting if you are a fan of the classics. Films on which copyrights have expired (usually made many years ago) can be downloaded for free at Turner. One such movie available for free is the John Wayne Western �McClintock�. It is a very entertaining movie and the price certainly can not be beat. Turner Class Movies has a wide variety of films to choose from; some are available for download, others you can view clips and footage from.

Documentaries can be found at a number of sites. Many documentaries are available for free download at Moviesfoundonline.com. Documentary subjects run the gamut; some are funny, many are serious, some are in between. Two documentaries featured at Moviesfoundonline.com are �The U.S. vs. John Lennon� and �The Battle for Baghdad � 2007�. If either of these topics interests you, take the time to download and view these very interesting documentaries. If these topics are not of interest, you can choose from among many hundreds of other documentaries.

Apple Movie Trailers is a great site to visit. Here, you can spend hours watching clips, trailers and out-takes from many very famous movies. Some more obscure films are also featured and equally entertaining.

If you are a fan of the �golden era of film�, treat yourself and pay a visit to Turner Classic Movies. Turner offers virtually every classic film ever made (many in black and white, some are silent films). You can browse through their expansive library and are sure to find films that are of interest to you. Many of the older films are ideal for family viewing. Movies which have expired copyrights are considered public domain. For that reason, the movies that qualify are available for free download at Turner Classic Movies.

If you have a family, it is worth considering exposing your children to older films. Many youngsters are only familiar with modern day Cineplex blockbusters. You may introduce them to a whole new world by downloading free classics or documentaries.
