Free Movies Box for Windows 8 is a free movie collection.

Having a good collection of movies on hand is great, but it can also take up space. A good alternative to raiding the bargain DVD bins is to get the Free Movies Box for Windows 8. A fairly comprehensive movie collection, this is a good way to make sure that you always have something to watch. Given the size of the library, you'll take quite some time to run out of choices.

There's a handful of real problems with this software that stop it from being a truly great download, though. First and foremost is the collection. Yes, there are a ton of movies included here. The downside is that most of the movies are fairly terrible or are so obscure that most won't want to watch them. Even the good movies suffer greatly from video quality that is variable at best, and a launching system that will drive some users crazy. Couple with a playback bar that is so buggy that it is useless, and you'll wonder if anyone did any quality control for this product.

This catalog of free movies is really a mixed bag. It's nice to get a bunch of free movies, but you should realize that most of them probably aren't worth watching. All of the various bugs and flaws of the systems make watching movies a chore, and you really won't get anything you don't get out of a streaming service. This collection works fine as a collection, but not as an alternative to a paid movie service.
