I must admit – I’m a massive movie buff. For me there’s nothing better than plopping down on the couch with some junk food and watching a flick. Lately I’ve read a number of questions from visitors asking where they can download movies online, so I decided to publish a quick article about this.

There’s a lot of people who now download movies online. The internet has made it so that you don’t necessarily have to go out to the video store to grab the newest movie.

The selection of movies available online is fabulous. You can pick from far more movies online than you can in a rental store. Whether it’s a golden oldie or a new release, chances are that you can find it online.

Where can you download movies on the net?

Let’s start by pointing out where you shouldn’t download movies. You might have seen the download sites like LimeWire or Kazaa. You should stay away from thse websites! There’s so many viruses that you can get and it’s simple to get overloaded with spyware. Additionally, when you search for movies you often get broken files and you end up downloading something completely different than what you wanted.

Another problem is that the speed of the downloads are really slow on these websites. You can literally wait over a day for a movie to stop downloading. As you can imagine it’s annoying to have to wait that long just to learn the movie doesn’t work!

Another option is pay-per download movie websites. Here you pay for each movie you download. Each movie download costs about ten bucks. However, there are cheaper alternatives out there so I recommend to pass on these websites.

The best longterm option is to become a member of a website specializing in movie downloads. With these sites you pay a one-time registration fee (typically $35-$50) and can then login and download whatever movie you want. These websites are committed to movie downloads and have a tremendous selection of movies to select from. It’s by far your best choice as you can download as many movies as you want and you won’t have to concern yourself with sluggish download speeds or movies that don’t work.

Downloading movies online is a terrific way to get the movies you want without having to go to the movie store. It’s less expensive, more convenient and highly addictive!
