Free journal websites: the big three

There are three major sites with listings of free journals.

HighWire Press
This site is one of the largest databases online and is regularly updated. If you press any 'free site' or 'free issue' link, then a window will open with lists of journals which are free, especially after 6 months after the date of initial publication. The only drawback of this site is it's predominately in favour of American publications and to those hosted by it.
highwire.stanford.edu

Free Medical Journals
Free Medical Journals lists impact factors, so you know the value of each journal. It also lists non-English journals.
