Movies on T.V.

One of the best ways to watch movies for free is by watching them on the television, especially on the weekend. Many channels like TBS, USA, Comedy Central, TNT, Lifetime, and AMC all have movies playing at different times throughout the week. This is a great way to watch movies that you would not necessarily pay to watch. The viewer has a wide range of movie options because there are numerous channels playing movies. Each channel has its own genre of movies that they will typically show:

TBS and Comedy Central both show comedies.
TNT and Lifetime both show lots of dramas.
USA shows action adventure movies.
AMC plays older movies especially westerns.
Sci-Fi show lots of made for T.V. movies as well as science fiction movies.

Whatever taste in movies that you might have, there is probably a channel that will show similar movies. Here is a link to movie lists, to help show you all the movies playing at that particular time. Most channels play movies repeatedly over a couple of days so that if you miss one showing, there will probably be another. Some channels like TBS and USA will play a couple movies throughout the weekend so there is a good chance to watch it.

However, there are a couple problems with watching movies on television. One, the movies are cut down to allow for commercials and to fit the allocated time frame. Two, the movies have to edited for content, so any dirty language is replaced and some scenes are alerted. Third, the movies will be interrupted by multiple commercial breaks throughout the movie. Lastly, the viewer can only watch the movie when it is listed and can not pause or rewind, unless the viewer has TiVo or a DVR.
