Movies & Shows Can't Be Filtered or Sorted
This is where you'll search full-length movies, TV shows, and silent movies, respectively.
What I like about this setup is that it's easy to search full-length movies like documentaries, and comedies, among different genres, while also having access to sci-fi, crime, and western TV shows in nearly the similar place on the website.
Some categories also have subcategories, such as Crime and Action under the Drama category.
Any TV show you select will tell you how many full-length episodes are available, which I appreciate. Though one thing I don't care about the lists of videos is that you can't filter them by popularity, title, date added, etc.
Older Movies Means Lower Quality
All of the movies at FMovies were released many years ago, so the video quality is normally rather low. Plus, most of the movies are in black and white, which may make them appear even lower in quality.
Most of the movies I tested out where 100% watchable, however, others were very dark, and much worse when in full-screen mode.
FMovies Online's Player Options
Most of the movies at FMovies have the same player as the one on YouTube, but others may be slightly different. Some movies may have a subtitle option or quality adjuster, but all of them have a full-screen button and regular volume and playback control.
FMovies also gives you a chance to download movies for free, in a few instances, by having a Download FREE! button above the video that takes you to Internet Archive to download the movie.
I Didn't Find any Advertisements
I tested 5 movies at FMovies, and none of them showed any advertisements or in-video commercials.
My Video Buffering Experience with FMovies
Because movies found on FMovies are actually gathered from YouTube, my buffering experience is the same as it is with watching movies from YouTube.
Whether I was fast forwarding or starting a movie for the first time, I didn't notice any unnecessary pausing or long waiting periods while videos buffered, which is much appreciated.
FMovies: Final Thoughts
You need to want to watch old movies to search the quality acceptable, but I think Classic Cinema Online is a nice place to do so.
The movies I tested loaded nicely, showed zero commercials, and a few of them could even be downloaded, which is much more than similar streaming websites offer.
