you can download movies using illegal means, im not sure about using legal means

Channel 4's on demand service (4OD) allows you to download films. You don't have to watch them immediately, but you only have a certain period of time to watch them before they stop working.

As DCFC79 says, there are ways to download commercially produced films for free, although this usually breaches copyright licences. There are also websites where you can watch films online (a bit like YouTube). Needless to say, they also break the relevant licences.

Free software such as Miro allows you to watch a variety of programmes legitimately:

You can legally download Night of the Living Dead for free if that's your sort of thing:
