Not long ago, in order to watch a movie at home you had to travel to a rental store, find a movie that was in stock from their limited selection, pay a rental fee, and return it within 3 days or pay more money in late charges. Slow, frustrating, and expensive.
Not any more. With the arrival of the internet and movie download services, comes the ability to retrieve any movie that you want, save it to your computer or a dvd, and watch the movie whenever you like. All for one low fee.
Of course, movie download services offer a variety of features to attract your consideration. Some offer a huge range of movie titles; some offer incredibly fast download times; still others offer an interface that's easy to use, with a variety of options to help you find exactly what you're looking for. You don't want to get stuck with a bad service.
There are a number of factors to consider when looking for movie download services. Some of these factors include:
• Selection. You want to be sure you have access to a wide range of movie titles.
• Usability. How easily can you find what you're looking for? How quickly can you download the movie?
• Cost. Expensive doesn't always mean better. You should get good value for your dollar.
We hope you find this information valuable in selecting the right Movie Download service for you!

Internet Downloads is not the slickest of download sites, but it is easy to navigate and find your favorite form of entertainment media. The site boasts over 13 million movies and over 9 billion other files, such as TV shows, live concerts, music, games, and eBooks.
Memberships start with a one-month trial for $24.95, one year for $34.95, or unlimited access for $39.95. All the fees are one-time only, so you will not have to pay any additional costs per download. Internet Downloads allows members to connect directly to high-speed database downloads as well as P2P user guides, or file sharing.
To sweeten the deal, Internet Downloads offers a variety of free software to new members. This includes pop-up protection software, movie-to-cd and movie-to-dvd burning software, firewall protection, spyware protection, and antivirus protection.
Although the service was easy to use, we found the variety of movies was less than our top-rated selections (13 million vs. 80 million). And the speed of downloading the movies was noticeably slower as well. On the plus side, Internet Downloads offers a 60-day refund policy if you aren't completely satisfied with your purchase.
Internet Downloads delivers an easy interface to find a good variety of movies. The additional software is a nice bonus. With a better range of movie titles, and faster download speeds, Internet Downloads would be a top contender.

EZ Movies allows you access to movies, TV shows, games, music, applications and more. With over 100 million movie titles available, you're bound to find what you're looking for. However, the website is not as easy to use as our top-rated selections, leading to some confusion and frustration.
EZ Movies offers three membership plans:
• 1 year of access for $19.95
• 2 years of access for $24.95
• Unlimited access for $29.95
As an option, EZ Movies offers Evidence Shredder Pro as a $14.95 option for any of the plans mentioned. This represents a savings of 75% off the retail price. Evidence Shredder Pro will automatically delete traces of the pictures, movies, and websites that you visit, that don't get erased by traditional "cache-clearing" methods. This is a very good option
to help keep your
computer clean.
Membership includes the unrestricted access mentioned above as well as free CD/DVD recording software that allows you to burn your own DVD's, unlimited downloads, and free spyware remover.
Although EZ Movies offers a rich selection of movie titles for download, finding what you want is not as easy as our top-rated products. We found the interface to be a little frustrating and confusing at times. On the plus side, the speed of the movie downloads was very fast, ranking among the best of the services reviewed here.
Overall EZ Movies will connect you with all of the movies, games, TV shows, and music that you want. Just bring your patience, because finding what you want may take longer than you thought. The Evidence Shredder Pro is a nice buy-in option.

Add satellite tv channels to any plan for $9.95

Think Movie Downloads offers members the ability to search over 90 million files to find movies, games, TV shows and music. While the site is straightforward about what they offer, we found their services to be lacking when compared with the other sites in our review.
Think Movie Downloads offers three purchase plans:
• 1 year membership for $30.00
• 2 year membership for $36.00
• Unlimited membership for $39.95
For an additional fee, Think Movie Downloads offers the ability to watch satellite television on your home pc. For $9.95 extra, you get access to hundreds of channels. Unfortunately, we found most of these channels were not English-speaking; and all suffered in image and sound quality. We can't imagine watching the channels long enough for a full-length television
show or movie. None
of the premium channels were included - HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and so on. The value of this option is questionable.
When you first come to the site, you notice links for downloadable software such as Movies, Music, and Games. Instead of taking you to search utilities where you can browse their selection, however, each link directs you to the same sales page. This stands in contrast to he other sites in our review, which all show you at least a sampling of the movies they have
available.
After purchasing the membership, you are given access to the interface and the ability to begin your downloads. Again, we were disappointed by the sometimes-frustrating process to find the movie titles we were looking for. Once found, the download speeds were noticeably slower than the services at the top of our review.
As a positive note, Think Movie Downloads does offer some well-produced video tutorials to help you get used to their system. And the product is backed by an 8-week customer satisfaction guarantee.
Think Movie Downloads may offer the selection of movie titles that you're looking for. But in terms of actually finding those movies and downloading them, there are better services available.
