If you love movies, what do you need to feel like you're getting the great home entertainment you want?  Would it be:

the ability to consistently choose movies you love each week?

the ability to get your movies fast and almost effortlessly?

the ability to watch those movies as many times as you wish without
    worrying about due dates?

getting those great movies while paying less?

If so, then maybe there is an online movie rental service that is talking your language.  Find out more. 

A Selection of Movies To Love 

Online Movie Rental Gives You the Choices You Want

To find movies you love, first you have to have a large selection; afterall, we don't all love the same thing.

The average neighborhood video store generally houses around 15,000 movies at a given time. On the other hand, online movie rental service, Netflix offers over 100,000 titles.

Now who is more likely to have a copy of that movie you're wanting? And what if your taste in movies is a bit, well, out of the ordinary?

With online movie rental the choices have expanded from basic drama, comedy, action, and Sci-Fi to selections as specific as Faith and Spirituality, Anime,and a wide variety of Foriegn and Special Interest titles. Whether you simply want to experiment and expand your horizons or know exactly what you want, Netflix' online movie rental library should offer much greater satisfaction.

Help In Finding Good Movies to Rent 

Online Movie Rental Services Have the Data To Guide You

Yep, with lots of movies to choose from come hard decisions.

At the local video store, you have only the covers of films with the opinions of critics. Too bad they don't always share your taste in films.

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 a couple of billion reviews strong, the likelihood of getting a reliable recommendation is much greater.

The Netflix online movie rental service will also guide users by examining their own rental and review history to predict what other choices will be to their liking. Ah, a better way to find new favorites!

A Fast Way to Get Movies 

Online Movie Rental Services Come to You

When you decide you want a movie from the video store, you drive to the store, let's say 15 minutes, take 15 mintues to select your movie and check out, and then drive home. You've spent only forty five minutes of that 2 or 3 hours of spare time you have that day getting the movie you wanted. Not too bad.

With online movie rental at Netflix you have three quick options that allow you to stay at home and put your feet up forgetting the drive and the waiting in line.

Delivery by mail: You just go to the Netflix site, select the movies you want, and one business day or so later your movie, or movies, arrive in your mail box. A little planning ahead is required but you can set yourself up a month or so ahead rather than taking the time during a particularly hectic day.

Watch Now: This option isn't fast, it's instantaneous. Choose your movie, select watch now, and within seconds you can begin enjoying your movie as it is streamed over the internet. Unlike downloads that keep you waiting, streaming allows you to watch as the movie is being delivered online. The number of titles available for streaming continues to increase each month.

Stream Movies to Your TV: Netflix subscribers can purchase an internet connected set top box that allows them to stream movies directly to their TV. The Roku set top box costs only $100 and gives movie lovers freedom from waiting on mail delivery. XBox 360 owners also now have the capability to stream Netflix movies if they are LIVE Gold members as the software is being built into these devices.

Enjoy Movies As Much As You Want 

Online Movie Rental Services Have Fewer Rules

Have you ever fallen in love with a movie and wanted to watch it again? Have your kids insisted on seeing the same film like 100 times? Or have you picked up a couple of movies and then had no time to view them?

I thought so.

Well, forget returning a movie within so many days, forget late fees; forget the rules. With Netflix' online movie rental you can keep movies as long as you like. No problem. Just stick them back in that postage paid envelope and put it in your mailbox when you are done with them and the next movie/movies on your selection list will arrive in a few days.

Renting Movies at a Great Price 

Online Movie Rental Services Can Save You Money

It is possible to get more and pay a bit less. Here is the scenario with your local video store versus the online movie rental of Netflix.

Let's say you rent 6 movies per month at the local video store and you pay an average of $3.60 per film; that's a total of $19.60. (plus of course your gas money)

For 6 movies a month in the Netflix "2 out at a time" plan (with unlimited movies per month) the cost is only $13.99. The savings can be greater of course if you choose to view say 8 movies in the month. At the local video store your cost goes up but with many of the Netflix plans the price would remain the same. Most of their plan pricing is merely based on the number of movies you have out at one time.
