Best Websites for Watching Movies and TV Shows Online: Top 10 Legal Cinemas on the Net!

Hello!

How, after all, this year has greatly changed our life and habits! .. If earlier it was possible no, no, and even go to the cinema for some novelty (😉) - now we have to be content with online viewing ...

Actually, for this reason, I also had to update my browser favorites. Part of the bookmarks, on the most popular sites for watching movies and TV series, I decided to share today with the readers of the blog (a kind of selection of the 10 best resources!).

At least - it won't be boring in another isolation ... ✌

Note: just in case, I will say in advance that only legal and large resources were included in the review (for obvious reasons, I excluded everything "else").

So...

👉 To this topic!

Where else can you watch the video, besides YouTube - analogs of the video service

Top 10 cinemas: watching new items 👀 without leaving home

❶

Okko

Website: //okko.tv/

Note: 1) more than 70 thousand films and TV series!

2) With "Sber-Prime" a 15% discount on the purchase of new products in the catalog of the online cinema "Okko".

In my opinion, the service is one of the best family cinemas! There is a huge collection of films - over 70 thousand! Moreover, there are cartoons and family comedies, as well as videos for adults (for every taste!).

Please note that some of the films are available for free, some by subscription, and some (premieres) only through purchase.

In this regard, I would like to note the presence of the "rent" option - it allows you not to pay for the film in full, but for a small fee to open access for 48 hours. A good and cheap one-time viewing solution!

I will add that all video content can be viewed both from a smartphone and on a 4K TV screen (PC). Conveniently! 👌
