Viewster is a great channel that lets you stream free TV. They offer a nice range of  movie and film content from the great classics to newer stuff. While they do have advertisements they are not overly intrusive.
They offer a nice rating system which is no missing from Netflix, and while they don't use stars, the little flame symbol is used instead along with a percentage to rate a film or movie based on users likes and dislikes.
Click the show icon, and you can see more information like any film ratings G, PG or R if the movies was rated as well as genre info like comedy, drama or documentaries. 
Viewster also gives a nice option to watch a trailer clip so you can see if you will even like the show or movie before you waste much time only to find it's a dud.
Content is a little more diverse and you will even find some more geared towards adult.
Subtitles are also included for many but not all of their films so if you don't understand the language you will be out of luck.
