I got an email from a friend the other day asking if I had the movie "GoodFellas" on DVD that he could borrow. I emailed him back the following - "Quit bugging me - just go download it!"
Well, I put it more tactfully than that; but I think I threw her off a little at first.
My point was that he didn't need to go and find the DVD. All you need anytime you want to watch a movie is an internet connection.
More and more people have been asking us what the best way to download movies online is, and whether it is possible to find a big selection online.
I'd like to tell you that there is indeed a big selection online; better than any video store out there, in fact. Not only can you find Scarface, but you can find old favorites and new releases alike.
Now that we've addressed that, let's get to the real question ? where can I download movies online?
First, I think it's important to mention where NOT to go to download movies. There are a number of "shareware" programs such as Kazaa or Limewire that people use to find music, movies or other files online. These don't work too badly for music, but for movies they are horrendous.
When you download a movie from a program like Kazaa, you run a huge risk of getting a virus. It's an unmonitored website so you never know what you're downloading.
Two other problem with these types of sites - selection and download speeds.
Movies are huge files; on these networks, it can take days to download a movie! The selection is also very limited compared to other sources.
Your next option is to use some type of paid download service. There are different websites that let you download movies for a "per download" fee. You search for a movie, pay a fee for the download (about $10), and are able to have the movie over a secure network at a good download speed.
It's not a bad option, but there's a much cheaper way to find and download movies with equal quality.
There are membership-based movie download websites which allow you to download unlimited movies for a onetime fee; usually about $30-$50. You can then download all the movies you want, whenever you want.
The nice thing about this service is that you have the ability to download any movie you want simply for paying the one-time membership fee. The selection is massive and the downloads are both fast and guaranteed to be virus-free.
The best download sites will also provide you with software to burn these movies to DVD so you can watch them on your TV instead of only on your computer.
Did my friend find Scarface?
He sure did. And I doubt he'll ask me to borrow any more DVDs soon!
With more and more people downloading movies online, there will be less and less traditional video stores. Why go out to a store when you can download all the movies you want without ever leaving your home? - 15275
