What Popcorntime is
Popcorntime is a movie discovery and metadata index — a fast, ad-light way to research what you might want to watch. We catalogue tens of thousands of films using publicly-available metadata (titles, descriptions, ratings, posters, cast) sourced through the TMDB API. We don't host any video files of our own.
How to actually watch
Once you've found a film that interests you, head to one of the licensed streaming platforms above. Most major releases are available on at least one subscription service, and many older titles are free to watch on ad-supported platforms like Tubi or Pluto TV. If a title isn't on a service you subscribe to, digital rental on Amazon, iTunes, or Google TV is usually a few dollars.
Why a discovery layer matters
The big platforms are good at recommending what they want you to watch — usually their own originals. They're not great at helping you find a forgotten classic, an indie gem, or that film someone mentioned at dinner. A neutral index helps. Our trending strip surfaces what people are watching across services, not just on one.
Quality & availability
The trending and top-rated lists above pull live from TMDB and update with viewing trends. Where a film is available will vary by your country and the rights window — a title on Netflix in the US may be on Prime in Europe and unavailable elsewhere. Tools like JustWatch can help you find region-specific availability.

HDFrequently asked
Is Popcorntime a streaming service?
No — Popcorntime is a discovery and metadata platform. We help you find films and tell you about them; we don't host or stream the videos themselves. To watch, head to a licensed service like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, Tubi, or Pluto TV.
Where does the data on these pages come from?
Movie titles, posters, ratings, and descriptions are powered by the TMDB API — a community-maintained, openly-licensed database. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by TMDB.
Are the streaming-platform links above safe?
Yes — every platform listed (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Peacock, Tubi, Pluto TV) is a fully-licensed service operated by a major media company. We do not receive affiliate commissions for these links.
How do I find which service has a specific film?
Availability changes by country and over time. Tools like JustWatch aggregate availability across platforms — search for a title there to see where it streams, rents, or buys.
How often does the trending list update?
Our "Trending now" strip pulls live from TMDB's popular-movies endpoint, which reflects viewing trends across the TMDB community. The list refreshes daily.
Is using Popcorntime legal?
Yes — Popcorntime publishes publicly-available film metadata. We don't host or link to copyrighted video content. The legality of streaming a particular film depends on whether you watch it on a licensed service in your country. See our Disclaimer and Terms.
