I gotta tell you – I’m a huge movie buff.  For me there’s nothing better than plopping down on the couch with some snacks and watching a flick.  Lately I’ve read a number of emails from readers asking where they can find full length movie downloads on the net, so I decided to write a quick article looking at movie downloads.

There’s a lot of people who have begun to download all of their movies.  The web has made it so that you don’t need to run out to the store to grab the latest DVD.

The selection of movies available online is fantastic.  You can find way more movies on the net than you can in a video store.  Whether it’s an older movie or a new release, it’s almost guaranteed that you can get it online.

So where can you download movies on the net?

Let’s start by pointing out where never to download movies.  You might have seen the download sites like LimeWire or Kazaa.  Please keep away from these!  There are lots of viruses floating around and it’s easy to get flooded with spyware.  Plus, when you search for movies you often get incomplete files and you end up getting something completely different than what you wanted.

Another problem is that the speed of the downloads are really sluggish on these sorts of site.  You can literally wait over a day for a file to finish downloading.  Naturally it’s frustrating to have to wait that much time just to find out the file doesn’t work!

Another alternative is pay-per download movie websites.  With this option you are charged for each movie download you use.  Each download is usually in the $10 range.  However, there are more affordable alternatives available so I recommend to pass on these websites.

Your best bet is to join a website specializing in movie downloads.  With these sites you pay a one-time registration fee (usually $40-$55) and you can then login and download whatever movie you choose.  These membership sites are devoted to movie downloads and have a tremendous selection of movies to pick out from.  It’s by far your best choice as you can download unlimited movies and you don’t have to concern yourself with sluggish download speeds or movie files that don’t work and you can download movies legal.

Downloading movies online is a remarkable way to find any movie you choose without ever needing to go to the movie store.  It’s more affordable, more convenient and really addictive!
