Watch free movies online and experience different movie genres
You will find a variety of movie genres when you watch free movies online. Just log into any video streaming site and choose from the categories to get a list of all available movies in a particular genre. Apart from comedy, action, adventure, drama and fantasy movies, some of the popular movie genres today include the following.
War films. War movies depict courage, humanity, and heroism in the midst of fighting and adversity. They can also be full of drama and make strong political statements. War movies may or may not have a lot of special effects, but they usually feature spectacular battle scenes that explore the horrifying nature of war and its deadly consequences.
Movies for teens. Obviously, these films address the various issues that concern young people today: school, family problems, friendship, teenage romance, growing up and fighting their own fears or insecurities. Of course, there are stereotypes like the popular girl, the jock, the rebel, the geek, the outcast, the cheerleader and star player, the average girl/guy, the girl/boy next door, and the new kid girl.
Science fiction movies. These films explore the frontiers of our civilization, science, and technology. Science fiction movies take viewers to fantastic places like faraway planets and parallel dimensions. Many science fiction movies are set in a chaotic and dangerous post-apocalyptic world that is very different from the world in which we live. There may be elements of time and space travel, encounters with extraterrestrial life, and the fight for freedom against tyrannical invaders, human and alien.
Mistery movies. Unsolved crimes and political conspiracies often make for great storylines that can leave viewers wondering long after the movie ends. Mystery movies fall into either an open or closed format. An open format reveals the criminal at the beginning of the film as the story is retold, while a closed format is like a typical crime novel that follows the protagonist’s search for the suspect whose identity is often revealed in a totally unexpected way.
Documentary films. These are normally shown in theaters and film festivals, but are also released in DVD format. You can find many documentaries if you watch free movies on video streaming websites. The documentaries address in depth various social and political issues. Some documentaries follow the lives of certain people to establish a portrait of the character. While most documentaries depict “real life” and “real people,” some fictional narratives are shot documentary-style for more convincing effect.
