Movie streaming has been playing a huge part in entertaining movie lovers. It's one way of entertaining people from all kinds of social statuses. What are we ever going to do if we don't have these streaming sites? Yeah, sure there are other ways of entertaining ourselves, but isn't watching movies one of the best ways to do it?
There are literally hundreds of streaming services in the world which are continuously growing. However, there are certain streaming services that would require you to pay for a monthly or yearly subscription for you to have an entry on their services.
So, what do you have to do if you want to watch movies without having to pay a single cent? You go and find free streaming sites like 123Movies, or 123movies alternatives. There are so many to choose from, so we decided to give out four alternatives for you to try.
Vumoo
This 123Movies alternative is a viable choice for you if you don't want any pop-ups. This may be one of the best movie streaming services that would give you high-definition quality movies, and a lot of movie choices to indulge on.
The website's main interface is neat, and it doesn't look cluttered with unnecessary things. The content on the website is displayed in four rows, with little to no advertisements. If there are even any ads, these wouldn't be as annoying as the pop-ups. Classic or recent movies can be found here in Vumoo, so don't worry if you are into old, and classic movies.
GoStream
If you're always streaming movies on streaming sites, we are sure you have probably heard of GoStream. Back in 2017, it was a replacement for 123Movies, and until today, it can still be used for your streaming desires. The site is pretty simple to use, and you can see a lot of commendable movies in various genres.
There are also movies that can be seen in the Most Viewed category, which is located on the upper side of the website. If you're having trouble skimming through the content, and not being able to find the movie you want to watch, there is also a search bar for you to use. Like all the other streaming sites on this list, GoStream is also free to use for everybody.
YIFY Movies
If you would rather download a movie than streaming it online for you to be able to rewatch it at a later date, then YIFY Movies is the one you are looking for. It is a well known P2P release group that is offering a large number of movies through the use of BitTorrent. The interface of Yify Movies is very straightforward and is very user-friendly on a black background.
The content on this website is very large, and you can pick a lot of movies from all kinds of movie genres. In contrast to the other entries on this list, YIFY Movies does not support streaming, but you are given links from where you can download your movie of choice, and it is free of any charge even without having to register an account.
WatchFree
WatchFree is another streaming website, which is a great alternative for 123Movies. It houses a whopping 16,000 movies in various genres, such as romance, comedy, horror, sci-fi, or action. WatchFree's user interface is very close to that of 123Movies. The movies you find on this site are categorized by genre and by country.
The movies you find here are all free, and you don't have to create and register for an account. All you have to do is just click the movie that you want to watch, and that's it. Although you may run into some advertisements and pop-ups, that would be quite annoying, so might want to consider applying an ad-blocker.
Takeaway
Well, there you have it, guys! These are just four of the many alternatives to 123Movies that you can watch or download movies anytime you want. You don't have to worry about anything, and these services are all free of charge.
Chef Asma Khan calls for an end to macho kitchens and celebrates older women in professional cooking.
Advocates unionising hospitality and improving working conditions across the industry.
Explains founding the Second Daughters Foundation to support girls’ education in India.
Discusses the political role of food in promoting labour rights and dignity.
Redefining kitchens and leadership
In the latest episode of Shami’s Speakeasy, chef and campaigner Asma Khan joined host Shami Chakrabarti to discuss justice, feminism, race and the politics of food. Chakrabarti described Khan as “not so much a celebrity chef as a revolutionary chef.”
Khan highlighted her all-women team at Darjeeling Express, many of whom are grandmothers, calling it “a powerhouse.” Rejecting the macho culture of celebrity kitchens, she said the average age of women cooking in her kitchen is 50, demonstrating that older women are central to professional cooking.
Unionising hospitality and work-life challenges
Khan spoke candidly about labour conditions in hospitality and the impossibility of perfect work-life balance for shift workers and entrepreneurs. She called for restaurant workers to unionise, reflecting on exploitation during COVID and ongoing staffing pressures: “Without collective action, we can never get anywhere.”
She also shared her approach to parenting and entrepreneurship: “There is no word called ‘balance’ for some of us. The only way out is to forgive yourself and keep going.”
Second Daughters and food as a force for change
As a second daughter, Khan founded the Second Daughters Foundation, supporting girls’ education in India through school meals and practical assistance for those most likely to be kept at home.
Khan also described food as a political tool, using it to “shake the world gently” while emphasising labour, dignity and respect alongside ingredients.
