You Can Watch All Sorts Of Movies Online These Days

By Sandra Hall


The moment your television went on the blink a few days ago you knew you were going to have to do something. It isn't that you watch a great deal of TV programming - these days most of it isn't worth your time - in fact, now that hockey season is over for the season you can't imagine needing to tune in to much of anything. Nevertheless, you do watch a great deal of movies and ever since the drive on your laptop died you have been limited to watching your DVDs on the television.

Between bills and rent you and your roommate are not going to be able to afford a new set (or even a second hand set for come to think of it) for at least a month. Maybe more. Fortunately, your roommate recommended that you try watching movies online. He said his girlfriend does it all the time and that her high speed internet connection is no better than yours. You were sceptical but, having nothing to lose, you gave it a try and were amazed by what you discovered.

## So many sites to choose from these days

The biggest surprise was just how many sites out there were offering streaming movies and available downloads. You remember being stranded in an airport five years ago and checking for this sort of site and not finding much of anything. The virtual landscape has certainly changed a great deal since then. There are a ton of sites out there, simply living off ad revenue and providing movies online for free.

## Such high quality movies

The quality is so much better than it was years ago as well. Part of it is that high speed has come such a long way in the past few years that the files can be bigger. What you're finding are full length films available with near DVD quality audio and video. The downloads are relatively fast and in most cases the streaming content flows without a hitch.

## The selection is unbelievable

All of this would honestly be a little more than a curiosity to you were the selection not very good. As it turns out, though, the selection is incredibly good. There are Oscar winning movies, small obscure art films, foreign films, independent films, documentaries, classic films, new films, even current films for that matter - all mere keystrokes away. It's enough to make a film nut a little giddy.

## It is so convenient

The very best part is that it's just so convenient. When you can watch any movie you like at any hour of the day or night without having to worry about such things as video store hours, late fees, theatre show times, bus schedules, and DVD release dates it means that you can scratch virtually any film itch the moment it hits you.

You and your roommate are definitely going to invest in a new TV but you've already decided that the next set is going to be HD and have an HDMI port so that you can pipe your laptop into it. Now that you've started watching movies online there's no going back.

You spent a couple hours last night watching new movie trailers. 2011 is going to be a great year for films. And you've already started making note of which ones you are going to be watching online while they are still in the theatre.
