We've got a lot more options for getting our movies rather than driving to the local video rental store thanks to the phenomenal growth of the Internet and the advances of technology. On the Internet, we can make our movie selection and then wait for the video to arrive by mail. However, we can simply skip the mail delivery and watch the movie immediately online.

We can do this in one of two ways. We can try for the free route online or we can pay for our movies via a movie download membership site. This article will compare offline video stores and the 'free' online alternatives against the online download memberships.

Movie download memberships have the advantage of big archives full of movie titles to choose from. How much or how often you download movies from these large archives is strictly up to you. No offline video store will ever be able to match this because they have a limited amount of physical space.

Due to this limitation, they can only provide what is currently mainstream or popular. Online memberships don't have shelving space problems and therefore can have an extremely varied and extensive movie selection. If your tastes go beyond what is deemed popular by everyone else, then you will get more satisfaction by going online.

Finding the exact movie of your choice is a lot easier online than sifting though the shelved products in a video store. Your search for a movie online is made easy with a search box that will search by director, title, actor, or any keyword. In addition lists are provided that categorize movies into different genres.

These lists also group movies by the latest additions, critic picks, popularity, and alphabetically. For some memberships, you can even write your own review and rate a movie. When it comes to judging the pure entertainment value of a movie, nothing beats a user's review.

Huge archives of movies available for download are typical of online memberships. Free online movies that are actually legal are generally in the public domain with expired or un renewed copyrights. These are early 20'th century classics.

Recent episodes of popular TV series are available for viewing on the web sites of the major television networks. These will only be up for viewing for a brief time and will be limited to just a few series.

Movie download memberships are safe from worms, viruses, mal ware, and spy ware. By contrast, there is a real risk to the health of your PC when you get free movies from questionable sources. For instance, you will be sharing files with a multitude of strangers and will be trusting that none of them will infect your file with spy ware or viruses if you use peer to peer for your downloads.

In short, these are a few of the reasons why paid movie memberships are the best choice for getting your movie entertainment. The benefits of speed, economy, and convenience that the Internet provides over video rental stores are obvious. However, the potential risks that 'free' downloads pose to your computer greatly overshadow any of the inconveniences of the local video store.
