More so, some of the movies are of very good quality, i.e. HD (720p). They come with genres that cut across action, comedy, horror, adventure, crime, and many more. Even the drama series is also comprehensive as you’d get anime, Korean, Western, Japanese, and others.

This list won’t make much sense without the mention of Dramacool (www.dramacool9.co). If you’re a big fan of Asian movies, Dramacool should be part of your go-to place to download Chinese movies and dramas, in fact, in one of my previous posts on how to download Korean movies, I mentioned Dramacool.

This is one of the best places you can watch and download Chinese movies with English subtitles. It offers lots of movie genres and categories including ancient wuxia fantasy (RPG), xianxia, underworld etc. Downloading on this website is as easy as watching on it. If you wish to download, click the featured images of movies, and you’ll immediately find the download button below the video player.

There is no doubt that YouTube (www.youtube.com) has become one of the biggest video-sharing and streaming services in the world. According to Hootsuite, YouTube has more than 2 billion logged-in monthly users. It’s possible to watch YouTube content without even creating an account which makes the number inaccurate. I believe it’s more!

That said, Yoruba movies are not the only films you could watch on YouTube, Chinese movies with English subtitles are also constantly being uploaded on YouTube. It’s updated frequently, all you need to do is search for channels that constantly upload them. To download YouTube movies requires a special app or software, you can search on Google how to go about that. However, YouTube has its in-app download button that only allows you to watch offline later.

Features:

• Massive platform with frequent updates
• Channels dedicated to Chinese movies with English subtitles
• Requires special apps or software for downloads

10. Filmdoo

Filmdoo (www.filmdoo.com) is also one of the best sites that allows you to download Chinese movies and dramas in clear sound and HD quality. With a single click, you can start downloading any movie of your choice. Filmdoo is not only specified in Chinese movies; instead, you can watch English movies with both Chinese and Korean subtitles. You can also download the English film with Chinese subtitles via torrents in MP4 quality.

One of the things I particularly don’t like about Filmdoo is that it is limited to certain regions or countries, which means that its content can’t be accessed if your country is not listed or supported. Nonetheless, the only way to go about this is by using a VPN.

Features:

• High-quality downloads in clear sound and HD
• Offers both Chinese and Korean subtitles for English movies
• Easy one-click downloads
