Grumpy's Movies
Your angry guide to cinema — browse, watch, download. No logins. No algorithm.
Functions
What Grumpy’s Movies actually does — the core stuff, nothing fluff.
Watch movies & TV
Browse movies, TV, and anime. Ad-free Native playback with automatic fallback if a stream stalls. Resume where you left off.
Download for offline
Save MP4s from the website, queue offline downloads in the Android app, or pull files from the Python CLI. Xbox is streaming-only.
Live TV
Free live channels with a guide — news, FAST packs, local stations, and what’s on now / up next.
Live sports
Today’s live and upcoming games with sport filters. Same schedule on the website and the Android Sports tab.
Theater nights
Public appointment cinema — pick a rating auditorium, show up for a shared start time, lobby countdown included.
Watch party
Private room with a short code. Host controls play, pause, and seek — friends join and follow along.
Cast to your TV
Send Native playback to Chromecast or Google TV. AirPlay on Safari when available.
Family Mode
Optional kid-friendly filter (G–PG) with a PIN to turn it off. Hides harder theater auditoriums too.
Download movies & TV to keep
Save a film or TV episode and watch it later — on the web, in the Android app, or from the Python CLI, even without Wi‑Fi.
Web — MP4 download
On Watch, open a movie or pick a TV episode for its own page with Watch and Download. Your browser resolves stream sources directly, then saves an MP4. Choose a quality (720p, 1080p, etc.) and keep the tab open until the download finishes.
Android — offline in the app
Install the latest APK (v1.6.42). Tap Download on any movie or episode — queued downloads run one at a time with progress notifications. Optional Wi‑Fi only in Settings. Play finished files from Settings → Manage downloads, even in airplane mode.
Python CLI — terminal downloads
Run python main.py from the CLI zip. Browse by genre, open titles in your browser, or press W on a title to download an MP4 (requires ffmpeg on your PATH). Same source resolution as the website.
While you wait
Large films can take a while — progress shows in the Android notification and download list. Web and CLI downloads run in your browser or terminal; don’t close them until the file is saved.

FAQ
The short answers.
What content is included?
Mainstream movies and TV from TMDB — including R-rated titles where available. Porn and X-rated adult content are excluded everywhere (include_adult=false); there is no adult toggle in the apps.
How does watching in the browser work now?
The web player plays streams natively — the same source path used for MP4 downloads — so you get playback without depending on the old Videasy embed servers (Yoru, Neon, and friends). If native playback can’t start, it falls back to the embed automatically.
Do the apps and website have ads?
Native apps (Android, ONN/Android TV, Xbox): no ads. Web: native playback is ad-free, and we do not use pop-up ads. If the site falls back to a Videasy embed, third-party pop-ups are still blocked automatically. Optional footer banner ads may appear on some pages. Prefer no ads at all? Donate to help cover server and bandwidth costs.
How is the site funded?
Donations keep the server, bandwidth, and domain online. There are no Adsterra (or other) pop-up ads. Support is optional — watching stays free. See Donate.
Can I watch without installing an app?
Yes — open Watch in browser. You can also add the site to your phone’s home screen (PWA) for a fullscreen app-like experience. For a dedicated TV or Xbox app, use the downloads below.
Is Grumpy's Movies free?
Yes. No accounts, no in-app purchases, and no ads in the native apps. Donations are optional and help keep the project online — use it, don’t sell it.
How do I download a movie or TV episode?
Web: go to Watch, open a movie or tap a TV episode for its detail page, then tap Download, choose a quality, and save the MP4 (keep the tab open until it finishes). Android: install the latest APK, open a movie or episode page, tap Download, then play from Settings → Manage downloads when it shows ready. CLI: run python main.py, highlight a title, and press W (requires ffmpeg).
What are Theater nights?
Theater nights are appointment-style group watches — see tonight’s features on this page, or open the full board for G, PG, PG-13, and R auditoriums. Pick a time, hang out in the lobby, then watch with a shared start.
Is there Live TV?
Yes — open Live TV in your browser. Browse free channels by region, including Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Plex, Pluto, Tubi, news, and local stations. The guide shows what's on now, end times, and what's up next. The Xbox app includes Live TV too.
Is there live sports?
Yes — open Sports for today’s live and upcoming games across major leagues. The Android app has a Sports tab for the same page.
Does it work offline?
Browsing the catalog still needs internet. Downloaded movies and TV episodes on Android play offline after they finish downloading. Your watchlist and resume positions are stored locally too. Web MP4 files are saved to your device — play them with any video app, no connection needed.
Are Android and ONN the same download?
Yes. One APK works on phones, tablets, and Android TV devices including ONN boxes. The app detects TV hardware and switches to the leanback UI automatically.
Why is my browser warning me about the download?
The APK and Xbox package are sideloaded outside the official stores, so your device may warn about an unknown publisher. Both builds are from this project — check the download metadata if you want to verify SHA-256 hashes.
Will there be an iOS / Apple TV version?
iPhone / iPad today: open this site in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen. You get a fullscreen app icon — browse, watch, Live TV, Sports, and Theater nights all work in the home-screen app. MP4 downloads are unreliable in Safari; use the Android app for offline movies and TV.
Apple TV: no native app yet. Use the website in Safari on a phone/tablet, or an Android TV / ONN / Xbox app on the big screen.
How do I update?
Android: open Settings → Check for updates in the app to download and install the latest APK automatically. Or re-download from this page and reinstall over the top — your watchlist and progress are preserved. Xbox: download the latest MSIX bundle from this page and sideload again. Web: just refresh — no install required.
Can I download on Xbox?
No — the Xbox app is for browsing and streaming only. For offline viewing, use the Android app, web MP4 download, or the Python CLI.
