I recently received an email from a friend asking if she could borrow a DVD of “Godzilla”. I wrote back telling her to quit bugging me and just download it.

Well, I put it more tactfully than that; but I think I threw her off a little at first.

What I was trying to convey to her was that she didn’t need to go track down the DVD. If you want to watch a movie, all you really need is an internet connection.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about what the best ways to download movies online is and also if there are any websites which can boast of a large selection of movies.

First off – yes, the selection of movies online is huge online. You can easily find a movie like Goodfellas, along with all the new releases and movies from the past. You will find a far better selection online than you would in any video store.

Now that we’ve addressed that, let’s get to the real question ? where can I download movies online?

First, I think it’s important to mention where NOT to go to download movies. There are a number of “shareware” programs such as Kazaa or Limewire that people use to find music, movies or other files online. These don’t work too badly for music, but for movies they are horrendous.

When you download a movie from a program like Kazaa, you run a huge risk of getting a virus. It’s an unmonitored website so you never know what you’re downloading.

Two other problem with these types of sites – selection and download speeds.

A movie is a large file to download. When you’re using a shareware program it can easily take over a day or two to finish downloading as the speeds can be terribly slow at times. You also won’t find many of the movies you are looking for. The selection is limited compared to other options you have.

There are also paid download sites out there. There are many pay-per-download sites. You can look for the movie you want, pay a fee (about $10, usually) and download the movie quickly on a secure connection.

It’s not a bad option, but there’s a much cheaper way to find and download movies with equal quality.

There are membership-based movie download websites which allow you to download unlimited movies for a onetime fee; usually about $30-$50. You can then download all the movies you want, whenever you want.

The great thing about these sites is that you only have to pay once for access to a huge selection of movies. The download speeds are good and they are guaranteed to be free of viruses.

The good membership sites will also provide software that lets you burn the movies onto DVD so you can watch them on your TV instead of just your computer.

Did my friend find Scarface?

He sure did. And I doubt he’ll ask me to borrow any more DVDs soon!

With an increasing number of people looking to the web for movie downloads, you’ll see the number of brick and mortar video stores declining. Downloading movies, after all, is easy ? you can find all your favorites without even leaving the house!
