Movie Friday’s on Movieclips channel (youtube)
Youtube channel, Movieclips, is partnering with Lionsgate to showcase free movies every friday on their channel. Every friday at 6pm PST or 9pm EST, you can watch movies ranging from the 80s to now. I happened to tune in the first week they did this and I can say the quality is great and you don’t have to worry about lagging. It is a great way to spend some quality time by yourself or with your family members, grab a bucket of popcorn and enjoy!
