Want to download movies on your computer? What are your options? The first thing that comes to mind is to pop in the DVD into your DVD drive? But if you only have a CD drive that doesn't play movies, this is not an option. This is fairly uncommon in newer computers, but certainly older computers may have this problem.

There are all kinds of options at your fingertips for watching movies via the small screen. Some choices are legal and some are illegal but you will have to be the judge as to what is best for you. Normally, all that you need to watch these movies is software that comes pre-installed upon purchase of the computer, as in trial movie software versions.

There are of course, the illegal options where you can download full-length movies from user-fed sites. Obviously, there are many drawbacks with this option that can both get you in trouble and your computer if you download a virus by mistake. But in the spirit of completeness, this is an option that is out there and can be found with some research on your part. In order to use these sites, you must often agree to a list of warnings that this material is not produced or acquired by the site owners, nor will they be responsible for it.

More recently, brick and mortar business are starting to offer this service. Companies like Blockbuster have expanded their services to include online movies, and they can be delivered either online or through express mail. These are great options because you are paying to view them for an agreed upon amount of time, and the downloads are safe without fear of computer-crashing bugs being included.

Netflix has also joined the group of socially progressive companies and offers their movie service both online and through dish or cable. Their subscribers can have access to as many movies as they want and there are no late fees. By combining great service with convenient options, they are selling their service quite successfully.

If you prefer to stream online, then you can find movie-hosting sites on the Internet where you only need a video player to watch them directly from the site. You can purchase movie editing software that makes for a better viewing environment, but it is not necessarily to have in order to have a great viewing experience. These are provided by people uploading to the system.

These movies may or may not be pirated, but even if they are, they are usually not discovered until after they have been viewed a time or two. The benefit of using a site like this is that no downloads are required. Streaming a movie is just letting it play on the net while you access it with your video player.

If I were going to choose one, I would no doubt subscribe to a reputable company like Netflix. With all their customer service options and access features, they are a great choice. By using their subscriber movies, it also removes the threat of contamination by virus. Many times, they sent out customer appreciation gifts that reward loyal customers as well.
