Most of us lead very busy lives. With the added stress of a difficult economy most of us are looking for ways to save some money as well as make our lives better. Movies are an economical and enjoyable entertainment source.

There are millions of us who rent movies. Some of us go to the local video store, others subscribe to cable service with on demand movies, and others use services that send DVD’s to them in the postal mail. However, more and more people are starting to realize the benefits of their huge broadband service in being able to use its high capacity to download movies right onto their pc and watch them on their high resolution monitor or even on their new big flat screen television.

This saves you valuable time and is a huge convenience compared to driving to the video store or waiting for the postal mail to arrive. In addition, with downloading, you don’t have to worry about getting the movie back to prevent additional costs for late fees. With just a couple clicks of your mouse your computer or laptop can download the movie that you want and you can watch it at any time.

One more convenience for downloading movies would be that the movie is always in and there is no need to wait for it to be returned or be worried about returning in time to avoid late fees yourself. If you’re a busy individual who wants some relaxing downtime to see a movie but just cannot arrive at the video store then downloading may be the best answer for you.

You’ll be able to just view the movie on your computer however many people prefer to watch it on their big screen. You can get an attachment that allows a connection between your computer and your big screen. You can also get software that will help you to burn (copy) the movie to a DVD. Then you can just pop it into your DVD player.

In finding a site to get your movies, take into consideration the reputation of the site. There are some sites out there that will give you free downloads for movies but you need to stay away from these. The thing is that this is wrong! To not pay for movies is stealing and breaking copyright laws. These sites typically don’t offer any security for your computer for viruses that could be in the download. The best sites to choose gladly pay the required royalties to the movie owners. They have special software programming that enables them to calculate the proper royalties to pay the movie copyright owners for each download. Most are set up on a membership program that charges a fee that will permit you unrestricted and some even offer unlimited number of downloads for a certain period of time.

The cost of these membership sites is often less than the cost of renting from a membership video store or some popular online services. Plus, you have the convenience of "right now" downloads from the privacy and comfort of your home. No waiting for DVD’s to be returned, because with downloads, the movie that you want is always available day or night.

Downloading movies may be one of the best solutions yet for busy people. It’s also a boon in the current economy because it offers you an economical form of entertainment without leaving your home.
