Looking for something to do with the whole family this summer that won’t break the bank? How does FREE (or $1.00) movies sound? There are plenty of movie theaters all across the country that are showing movies each week for the whole family to see. Here are just some of them:
- AMC Theatres are offering $1.00 movies every Wednesday at 10AM now through August 6th. The movies include (in order) Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Shrek The Third, Bee Movie, Surf’s Up, and TMNT.
- Regal Entertainment (including Regal Cinemas, United Artists, and Edwards Cinemas) will have free movies every Tuesday and Wednesday morning at 10AM now through August 20th. The movies are all G or PG, and vary theater to theater, so you’ll have to look up what movies your local theater is playing.
- Cinemark Cinemas will be showing 10 weeks of G and PG movies this summer for $1.00 each, or you can pay $5.00 for the whole series. See your local theater for movies and show times.
- Classic Cinemas will have $1.00 movies every Wednesday morning, showing G and PG movies. Check your local theater for movies and show times.
- Clearview Cinemas will have free movies Thursday mornings at 10:30AM starting tomorrow, June 26th. Movies include: Bee Movie, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Curious George, Mr. Bean’s Holiday, The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, Evan Almighty, Shrek the Third, and Surf’s Up.
Even if your movie theater isn’t listed, take a look at their website. Many other local theaters are also offering something similar this summer. It’s a great way to keep cool, and have the whole family see some great movies, all for $1 or less!
Even though it’s only the start of summer, are you sick of what’s on TV? It seems that all that’s on is either reruns from the past season, or new reality shows. Neither of which I’d like to watch. Don’t get me wrong…there are a few new shows out, but not enough!
The good news is, NBC Universal has created a website where you can watch TV shows as well as movies for free…and it is completely legal!
Yes, you do have a few commercials to watch during the show, but what’s 15 seconds here or there when you can watch something you actually WANT to watch?
While I was just checking it out, I saw that they added ALF today. I can’t tell you how many years it’s been since I have seen that, so it was cool to watch a few minutes of it. It’s also nice that you can watch all of these TV shows and movies with just the click of a button…you don’t have to spend any money to go rent the DVDs!
You might be wondering what types of TV shows or movies you’ll find. Well, it really runs all over the place, including older stuff as well as things from just a few days ago. Just a few of the TV shows you’ll find: Family Guy, The Pretender, 30 Rock, Picket Fences, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Addams Family, Arrested Development, I Dream of Jeannie, Barney Miller, Silver Spoons, The Simpsons, and many more.
As far as movies go, while they don’t have quite as many full length movies as they do TV shows, they still have quite a few including October Sky, Psycho, The Girl Next Door, Ice Age, The Jerk, Three Amigos!, and more.
When you look at the full list of movies or TV shows, it is easy to tell which are full episodes/movies, as they have an icon next to them, so you don’t have to worry about starting one to find out it’s only 30 seconds long. Another tip I’ve found is once you pick movies or TV, click on Alphabetical List. It’s much easier to see exactly what they have to offer this way.
I just found out about this site, but am very excited! It’s nice to know that there are some legal sites out there that have lots of shows and movies we can watch.
It’s definitely a nice way to save money (by not spending any at all) and be entertained.
