Guess What? Now You Can Watch Your Favourite Movies Online

By Rene Anderson


Tired of missing movies? Do you feel as if important films are being released and passing you by? Once upon a time you went to the theatres every month. There used to be certain directors you followed and actors whose films you did not miss. In short, you were a movie junky. But lately it has been more and more difficult to get your fix. Life has a habit of stepping in and smothering some of the fires of youth with additional priorities. It's depressing. Who has the time not to mention the money to see a dozen movies a year at the cinema? Fortunately, you can keep your finger on the pulse of the movie world from your own home these days in ways that were not possible even a a few short years ago. If you own a computer and a reliable high speed internet connection you are able to watch movies online; recent movies, even current movies are readily available to stream or download. Selection is huge and the picture and sound quality is crystal clear. And to top it all off, it's free.

## You aren't always able to get out to a theatre.

It is easy to forget that not everybody resides in a major city with a theatre a quick drive or bus ride away. For some folks getting to the nearest movie theatre is a more significant time commitment. Even for those individuals with easy access to a movie theatre sometimes schedules or responsibilities make it essentially impossible. However, a movie can be streamed anyplace there is broadband and watched whenever you like.

## The large multiplexes are a madhouse anyway.

Modern multi-screen movie theatres are excellent, in terms of selection and parking. The seats are comfortable, the screens are gigantic, the sound systems are tremendous. There's no denying any of that. That being said, so many of the films these days are targeted at teenagers and children and these multiplexes now boast arcades and food courts and as a result these venues are generally complete bedlam. You are so sick and tired of seeing films that are effectively ruined by raucous teenagers talking and giggling. Any time you go online for your movies the only teenagers you need to contend with are the ones you live with.

## You keep missing the films you want to see.

It's easy to intend to see a film but simply miss its run on the big screen. Unless a movie is a huge box office success it often gets bumped from the screen fairly quickly. Depending on the film and the time of year you could be looking at months before it is made available on DVD. Now, with the ability to watch even very recent movies online, you need not wait.

## Many of the movies you want to see never see wide release.

If you're a fan of small independently made films, documentaries, and foreign films chances are, unless you live in a city like New York or LA, that some of the films you want to see never hit the big screens in your home town. Now you don't have to let the fact that you live in Poughkeepsie limit your access to the top movies, documentaries and foreign films. The internet is there for everyone.

There are many fantastic websites available these days, all manner of online movie database, where you can find all your favourite movies available for streaming and download. If you were once a movie junkie, perhaps it is time to for you to find a new connection online.
