The Cheapest Way To Watch A Movie

Entertainment is not cheap. Whether you want to go to a concert, watch television, or watch a movie, you will have to pay. If you love movies, this could prove to be an expensive hobby or habit. If you love movies, need to save some cash, and can’t kick the habit, there are ways to cut movie entertainment costs.

First, stay away from the movie theater unless someone else is paying, you have free ticket, or there is an unbelievable movie out that you have to see. If you do go, try to use whatever discounts you can get such as a student discount if you are in school, and don’t go in the evening, get the cheapest price. Movie tickets are very expensive. Some theaters charge as much as 10 bucks just to watch a movie once while sitting in popcorn and getting your shoes coated with sticky soda.

A better alternative would be to rent a movie. There are so many cheap ways to rent a movie. You can go to a rental store and pick up a movie for 5 bucks or less and split the cost with a couple of friends. This is the cheapest way to watch a movie besides getting a DVD as a gift. You can watch it as many times as you have it.

If you normally rent 5 or more movies a week, you should consider signing up for a movie rental service such as Netflix or Blockbuster. You can get it as cheap as $4 a month for 2 movies a month, which is already cheaper than getting 2 movies from a rental store, or you can get as many as 4 movies at a time for $24. If you live with other people you can split the cost. If you have a family and you spend double or more than that on even less movies, you should get it. Save money by being able to get more movies for less money. That’s what your goal should be when searching for cheaper entertainment.

You can always shop Amazon for cheap movies. You are guaranteed the best price from them. You can even download movies from Amazon, Cinema Now, and Vongo if you want to download them. Vongo is actually a really great service because you can pay a low fee and have unlimited access to their entire movie database. You can’t beat that! Downloading is fast and you can even watch the movies on your computer or a television screen if you can hook it up.

Ultimately, the best way to save money on movie entertainment is by not watching them. I’m sure you don’t want to do that, and you shouldn’t have to. We need some kind of entertainment no matter how strapped for cash we are. It keeps us happy and sane. All you have to do is be picky with how you do watch movies.

Online Movie Rental – Netflix TV Box

Online Movie Rental: Finding The Movies You Never Even Knew You Wanted

For countless years, consumers would wander into the local video store in search of movies to take home. For some, selecting a movie was a process which often ended in disappointment. Guided by the words of a handful of movie critics or a paragraph written on the film covers sitting on display, there was uncertainty unless the selection was based on movies the viewer had already seen at the theaters or on television.

For others, the local video store seldom offered the selection that they craved. These viewers knew what they wanted; from indie films or anime to spiritual based offerings or Sci-Fi, but with a total selection of 10,000 to 15,000 titles the likelihood of finding a movie suited to their tastes each week was remote.

For movie fans there had to be a better way; a way to have a broader selection and a method of discovering movies that had the potential of becoming favorites.

Then in 1999, Netflix rolled out their online movie rental subscription service and movie selection has never been the same. Without the constraints of walls and floor space, an online movie rental service is capable of offering any DVD made. For Netflix customers, this translates into over 70,000 titles to choose from among hundreds of genres and subcategories of films.

netflix pricesWith online movie rental the choices suddenly expanded from basic drama, comedy, action, and Sci-Fi to selections as specific as British Comedy, Russian Foreign Films, African-American Documentaries, Latin Pop, or Belly Dancing Whether a viewer simply wants to experiment and expand their horizons or knows exactly what they want, the Netflix library should offer much greater satisfaction.

With the vast selection however, comes a tough choice for those who don’t spend their time staying in-the-know about every new movie release. Here is where some of the true advantages to the Netflix online movie rental service come in to play.

As customers view movies with Netflix, they provide ratings/reviews online. Users can add Friends with similar tastes as well as refer to critics reviews. With a database that is currently 1.5 billion reviews strong, there are good statistics to guide users in making their movie selections. The Netflix online movie service will also guide users by examining their own rental and review history to predict what other choices will be to their liking.

Certainly, the options for movie fans have expanded with the introduction of online movie rental services. With a vastly expanded selection of films and services to assist users in discovering movies they never even knew they wanted, Netflix has moved consumers on to the next level of home entertainment.

Download Netflix Movies

Movie Downloads Go Mainstream

Several years ago movies were available on the internet via peer-to-peer file sharing sites. Of course, issues of piracy and the risk of exposure to viruses prevented the average consumer from considering movie downloads a viable option however. More legitimate movie downloads came along a bit later in the form of Movielink and CinemaNow, but the selection was limited, download technology was a bit slow, and the equipment in the homes of most consumers made watching the films undesirable. For these reasons, movie downloads for the most part remained the domain of early adopters rather than the mainstream public.

Online movie rental services such as Netflix and Blockbuster have been more prominent forces in the home entertainment industry due to their much larger selection of movies. The primary drawback for such movie rental services was the delay between choosing the movie and receiving it in the mail a day or two later for viewing. However, the distinction between movie downloads, with their immediate gratification and convenience, and the world of online movie rentals, with their vast libraries of movie and television show titles, became blurred in 2007; benefiting the movie watching public.

Due to upgrades in how online movie rental services deliver their product, movie downloads appear to be going mainstream. In January 2007, online movie rental pioneer, Netflix announced they would begin offering customers the option of streaming movies to their PC although the availability of titles would be phased in over time. Within six months, Netflix announced that 5 million movies had been viewed using this download feature. The number of movies available to customers for downloading continued to increase and only six weeks later the number of movies viewed online had doubled to 10 million. Clearly, the popularity of downloading was catching hold within the average household.

netflix streaming moviesIn August 2007, Blockbuster the other major name in video rental, both online and off, announced that they had purchased Movielink. A joint venture between five major Hollywood movie studios, Movielink offered titles for rental or purchase and had provided early adopters movies for download to PC and portable devices. With the recent acquisition of Movielink, it is anticipated that movie downloads are soon to be an option with Blockbuster as well.

Certainly the events of 2007 appear to be headed toward a future of movie downloads becoming the preferred method of obtaining movies. If the escalating growth in the popularity of movie downloads evident at Netflix continues it would appear that local video stores will continue to lose market share. Similarly it would seem that mail delivery of rentals will begin to abate as well as downloading goes mainstream.
