The other day, I got an email from a friend asking if he could borrow my DVD of "Scarface". I wrote him back and told him to stop bothering me and just 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?
It's important to say where you shouldn't go to download movies. Avoid peer-to-peer networks like LimeWire and Kazaa. While these are OK for find music, they are a very poor choice for movies.
These networks may have some movies, but they also are completely unmonitored, so you never know what you are really downloading ? you can easily catch a virus this way. You never know just what you are downloading from these networks.
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.
You can also choose to use a paid download service. You can find many websites which allow you to download movies on a per-download pricing model. You find the movie you want to download, pay a fee (generally about $10) and can download the movie at high speed over a secure connection.
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.
These sites are a great alternative to pay per download sites since there is only a onetime fee and unlimited access to an enormous selection of movies. The download speeds are fast and the files are guaranteed to be virus free.
The good membership sites will also provide software that lets you burn the movies onto DVD so you can watch them on your TV instead of just your computer.
Did my friend find Godzilla?
He sure did. And I doubt he'll ask me to borrow any more DVDs soon!
With more and more people going online to find movie downloads, it shouldn't surprise you to gradually see a decline in the number of video stores in your area. Downloading movies is a great way to find your favorite flick without even needing to leave the house! Enjoy!
