There are numerous options in downloading and/or watching movies online. First off, like music downloading, downloading movies online usually meant doing something illegal. Currently, there are several places to download or watch movies online. The illegal options will be still available, simply, although the legal movie sites are picking up steam. The following post shall focus on the legal online websites to watch movie and/or download movies.

There are a variety of options available. Each site offers their very own pricing model, selection, movie formats, and user experience.

You can find 2 main pricing models that the internet movie download sites use - monthly subscriptions and per download pricing.

Sites that provide monthly subscriptions give unlimited downloads, for a flat monthly cost. CinemaNow, Netflix, and Vongo operate under this model.

Another major pricing model, per download pricing, is exactly what it sounds like. There will be a fee for each movie download. Amazon Unbox and iTunes operate this way.

Unless you aren't planning on watching very many movies in a month, the flat monthly fee is the way to go. There are also some movies that will be accessible for free from each of the services and various free trials will be accessible to try them out.

The selection varies from service to service. New releases are hit or miss. Movies appear to be available on DVD and then for rental ahead of being readily available for download. CinemaNow appears to get the films more quickly than the others. iTunes selection will be the most limited of the key services.

The predominant file format for the download services is Windows Media Video files (.WMV). iTunes is the obvious exception, which offers files as MPEG-4s.

Each service requires you to download their software so that you can download and watch movies. Each interface is unique, but its really a matter of personal preference. Vongo and CinemaNow each have good interfaces.
