We know that Kodi is an excellent application for consuming all kinds of content. However, it has limited numbers of first-party addons that don’t provide the best experience especially while watching movies. There are lots of third-party Kodi addons which provide absolutely great movie watching experience. These addons have a massive library of movies of top-notch quality. The latency and buffering issues also remain non-existent with third-party servers. So in this article, we explore the world of Kodi beyond the official repository and bring you the best Kodi movie addons that you should use to watch movies in 2020.
Here is the complete list of addons you can install on Kodi. Do note that, most of the addons are available on third-party Kodi repositories. So you will have to install the third-party repos first and only after that, you can install the required addon. If you want to learn how to install third-party repos and addons then follow the instructions below.

How to Watch Movies on Kodi
On top of that, I would recommend you to add subtitles to Kodi for the best experience. Also, you can integrate Real-Debrid for streaming movies without any buffering issues.
1. Exodus Redux
Exodus Redux is one of the best movie addons for Kodi. It’s exceptionally light and loads movies pretty fast. There are different folders for movies that are based on different languages, most popular movies, genre, year, Oscar winners, etc. There is a long list of categories to choose from owing to such a wide selection of content.
Besides, you can get the latest movies as soon as they are released because of its highly optimized scrapper. You can even choose your favorite scrapper like OpenScrapper, Debrid, Hosters, etc. Basically, Exodus is a one-stop entertainment hub for all your movie needs and you don’t have to look further.
2. Popcornflix
Popocornflix has become another great Kodi addon to consume movies and TV shows for free. While the question of legality depends on your geographical location, to remain on the safe side, you can use it through a VPN. The best part about Popcornflix is that there are no content restrictions based on region. Further, the addon is very fast and provides very good streaming which makes it ideal for watching movies on Kodi.
3. The Magic Dragon
Magic Dragon is a powerful Kodi addon that offers not just movies, but also TV shows. It has a host of video content including high definition (and even 4K) movies, shows, as well as live sports, highlights, and radio. Magic Dragon’s interface might not be very user-friendly, but you can access past TV episodes using its built-in DVR feature.
4. Seren
Seren is another hugely popular addon for watching movies on Kodi. It has got tons of movies and shows under its library. Many users believe that it provides the best experience for watching movies on Kodi because of no buffering issues. There are various categories of movies to choose from: you can go by the most trending movies, by actors, recently updated movies, genres, etc.
- Install Seren from Nixgate Repo
- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
5. WatchNixtoons 2
WatchNixtoons 2 is perhaps the only addon you will need to watch anime content on Kodi. It offers you both dubbed and subbed anime and a huge list of cartoons including Deadstar, Disney shows, Iron Man, and more. Apart from that, what I loved about WatchNixtoons 2 is that it has the best streaming links.
6. Maverick TV
Maverick TV is among the best addons for movies that you can find on Kodi. It runs perfectly and without any buffering or quality issue. Besides that, it has the largest library of movies including all the latest ones. The library of content is so huge that it’s simply impossible to manually navigate through the content.
To make things easier, Maverick TV has a helpful search bar and separate folders of movies divided into various categories. To name a few folders, it has 4K UHD, New Releases, IMDB Top 250, Classic Movies, etc. You can get the idea of how much video content is packed into Maverick TV. If you want to install just one addon for movies, let it be Maverick TV.
7. 13 Clowns
13 Clowns is becoming one of the best Kodi movie addons because of the enormous library of collected movies. Also, the developer is quite active and keeps on updating the latest releases. It has folders of movies based on different languages, top 10 weekly movies, what movies are currently running in theaters and a lot more.
8. FilmRise
If you are looking for a Kodi addon for watching movies and TV shows then FilmRise is your safe bet. It’s among the few addons that are legal and available on the official Kodi repository. You can watch full movies and TV shows for free, but the platform is ad-supported.
9. Tempest
Tempest is a pretty old Kodi movie addon for watching movies. It has remained afloat for many years because of several features it provides along with the huge list of movies. You have the usual library of movies based on various categories, but you also have options to choose the service provider like OpenLoad, 123movies, etc.
- Install Tempest from its Repo
- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
10. Nole Cinema
Nole Cinema is one of my favorite Kodi movie addons for watching movies on Kodi. It has got every title I am looking for. Nole Cinema is not visually pleasing but its interface is clean and least obtrusive. Unlike other Kodi movie addons, here the movies are divided into genres only. What I love is that there are separate folders for DC and Marvel movies in 4K resolution.
11. 9anime
9anime is another hugely popular addon among users who love watching anime movies on Kodi. The addon is pretty simple and has sub-folders with recent, popular and newest subbed anime. The subbed anime have hard-coded subtitles on the video so you don’t have to look for subtitles elsewhere.
Talking about the library of content, it has got massive numbers of anime movies and you would definitely find your favorite series in this addon. Earlier, this addon was deprecated, but the developer has started the development again and it’s back in action. So if you love watching anime, go ahead and install 9anime. You will be overwhelmed with the sheer volume of anime movies and series.
12. Einthusan (For Indian Movies)
At one point, Einthusan was a rage among Indian users for watching movies on Kodi. However, after some time the project was deprecated and the addon faded into oblivion. Nevertheless, a new team called Reasons has taken the development forward and now you can enjoy Indian movies just like before. Besides Bollywood movies, you have plenty of regional cinema as well.
13. Destiny
Destiny is kind of a unique Kodi movie addon in this list because it has lots of other features as well. There are TV shows, Live TV and Sports, etc. But coming to movies, it has a long list of sub-folders dividing movies into several interesting categories. For example, you have a list of the last 10 years of great movies then you have 20 years and so on.
14. Redemption
Redemption is another movie addon in this list which is pretty active in terms of movie requests and uploads. The developer keeps updating the movie database on a daily basis and you can access it in a separate sub-folder. Besides that, you can access scores of movies in 4K resolution. There are a few categories like documentaries, new releases where you can find movies of your choice.
- Install Redemption from CellarDoorTV Repo
- Compatible with Kodi 18 Leia (currently at Kodi 18.7 Leia) and older versions including Kodi 17 Jarvis.
15. Netflix
Netflix is not a free movie addon but a great third-party solution to bring its premium content on Kodi. It has been completely revamped by a new developer. You can now, in fact, play 1080p and 4K content on Kodi, but there are some caveats. That said, you can seamlessly log in and enjoy Netflix movies and TV shows on Kodi. Unlike earlier, now you don’t have to get your hands dirty and tweak things here and there.
