You Can Watch Movies Online These Days

By Glen Wright


Are you tired of missing movies? Do you feel as though important films are coming out and passing you by? There was a time when you were in the theatres every month. There were directors you followed and actors whose films you never missed. In short, you were a movie junky. But recently it's been harder and harder to get your fix. Life has a way of stepping in and dousing some of the fires of youth with other priorities. It's depressing. Who has the time and money to see fifteen or twenty movies a year on the big screen? Luckily, you can keep your finger on the pulse of the movie world from home these days in ways that were impossible even a couple of years ago. If you have a computer and a reliable high speed internet connection you can watch movies online; recent movies, even current movies are available to stream or download. Selection is vast and the sound and picture quality is crystal clear. And the best part, it's free.

## You can't always get out to a theatre.

It is easy for some of us to forget that not everyone lives in a major city with a theatre a brief drive or bus ride away. For some individuals getting to a movie theatre is a more significant time commitment. Even for those people with easy access to the big screen sometimes schedules or responsibilities make it virtually impossible. That being said, a movie can be streamed anywhere there's broadband and watched whenever you want.

## The large multiplexes are a madhouse anyway.

Modern multi-screen movie theatres are great, in terms of selection and parking. The seats are comfortable, the screens are big, the sound systems are terrific. There's no denying any of that. BUT so many of the films these days are aimed at kids and teenagers and these multiplexes have arcades and food courts and as a result these places are usually complete bedlam. You are so sick of seeing films that are ruined by noisy teenagers giggling and talking. When you go online for your movies the only teenagers you need to contend with are the ones you live with.

## You keep missing the movies you really want to see.

It's so easy to want to see a film but simply miss its theatrical release. Unless a motion picture is a huge box office success it typically gets knocked from the screen relatively quickly. Depending on the film and the time of year you could be looking at months before it's 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 indie films, documentaries, and foreign films chances are, unless you happen to live in a city like New York or LA, that many of the motion pictures you want to see never hit your home town big screens. Now you don't need to let the fact that you live in Boise City limit your exposure to the top movies, documentaries and foreign films. The internet is there for anyone.

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.
