There is also the US. It is legal to download movies in the United States. You can, however, get dinged by the automated lawsuit or complaint bots for uploading them, which makes torrenting without a vpn less than ideal.

No it isn't.

It's not a criminal offense, but if someone can sue you for it and win then it isn't "legal" under any technical or popular definition of the word.

		It's absolutely illegal in the USA to download a movie (or game, or song, or book, etc) that you haven't bought [0]. It could be argued that if you bought a movie, say on DVD, downloading another copy of it from an online source could fall under fair use, but this is more debatable.
