    Please keep this to films legally available on youtube (of which there are few). Mentions of films illegally uploaded will be deleted. If in doubt, I would assume they are not there legitimately.

    'How did you think films, released recently, uploaded to Youtube were legal?'


    I think the OP just asked for films to watch on youtube.
    Did not ask for recent films.

    My original post has been edited (not by me)
    The two films I recommended were 10 and 11 years old, is that considered recent in the land of film forum trolls?
    To be honest I'm not quite sure why its been left up if there is such a big issue.
    Anyway, moving on with life now..happy nit picking

    Well, seeing as how this thread is on the verge of death, I figure I'll share some movies I like on YouTube. All of these are legally free to watch, put up by the film makers.

    The Amateur Monster Movie.

    Some boy scouts are killed on Monster Island, and it's up to the friend of one of the kids to get revenge, and uncover what's going on. I really enjoy this one, I've watched it a few times. It's dopey and immature in the best way, and has a cameo from Mark Borchardt! Recommended if you want an easy laugh.

    We Are The Strange

    Two people fight their way through an odd world on their way to the ice cream store. That's only barely the plot, because this film is weird as balls. M dot Strange makes CGI films, all of which are a labour of love. They're vivid and dark at the same time, and quite unsettling. Recommended if you want something different.

    I'll Believe You

    Sci-fi comedy. The host of a call-in conspiracy radio show receives a call on air in a bizarre language, which attracts the attention of the FBI. A pretty amazing cast, considering everything, with Ed Helms, Patrick Warburton and Thomas Gibson making appearances. An easy watch, if you have 90 minutes to spare.

    I might post more, if this thread gets interest. There's TONS of free movies you can legally watch on YouTube, and not just ones from 1920 if you're only into modern movies. It just takes a bit of hunting. Last year I was completely broke most of the time, so I couldn't afford to buy DVDs or whatever, and discovering the wealth of the generous creative community online gave me months of enjoyment.

    Also, many of the film makers have other movies available to buy, or accept donations, so be sure to check them out. M dot Strange has another feature length film here you can purchase, for example.

    Enjoy!

    Just found Chrysalis (2007) on YouPoop. The version is English dubbed, if you can stick it out, it's a good movie.
