Like many other people, I love the convenience of watching movies and television shows online. I always check legal streaming sites first. If the show/movie is available on an ad-supported website, I would rather watch it there and support the people who work hard to produce the show/movie. Plus, the more people watch shows on legal websites, the more content companies will add.
Here are a few of the sites I visit:
HuluIf you've never watched anything on Hulu, you must live under an internet rock. Hulu definetly wins when it comes to amount of content, even though some videos now require a subscription fee of $7.99 a month to have access to.

CrackleCrackle definitely doesn't have to volume of content that Hulu does, but it makes up for that by having Godzilla movies. I have loved Godzilla since I was a kid, so I'll never say no to a good to a good kaiju movie. Last time I checked, there was 10-15 Godzilla movies available for streaming and they were all from the 1990s and 2000s.

SnagFilmsSnagFilms used to be all documentary films, but more recently has added fiction titles as well. There are many great documentaries on the site, most of which you have probably never heard of. This site is a must if you are looking for something different or just want to learn something about a random topic.
