Watch Movies on Internet

1. Watch Movies on Internet from free Streaming Movie Sites:
First things first, if you are just in the initial phase to watch movies on the net for your first time, you might want to browse some free streaming sites. Hulu is a well-known website. These sites are a dime a dozen, but locating a good one is not easy.

PROS:
• The good thing about the free streaming websites is that they are FREE (duh!)
• Plus, you can do searches for a good number of films and TV shows.
• Also, another plus is that the (online) streaming movie files play directly from your internet so that they do not use up any of your computer's valuable hard drive space.

CONS:
The bad points of free streaming movie websites are:
• The quality of picture and sound is ok at best, and most times poor quality since visitors usually submit the free content themselves.
• The movies are mostly cut in several short clips or segments. So it is really hard to Watch Film Online with the free streaming sites.
• The sites are often filled with spam, pop up ads, quizzes and surveys you must first take in order to start to watch a movie online.
• Slow movie upload time.


2. Download Movies
There are several websites online where you can download movie files by searching for torrent files. Basically, you look for a torrent file of the movie or TV show you are interested in, then you download and open the torrent file in a torrent download program such as Vuze. You wait for the movie to download, then finally you open the completed movie file in your movie player to watch the movie or TV show on your computer.

PROS:
• Many torrent sites are free to download torrents from.
• The movies are usually much higher quality as compared with the free streaming movie sites.
• No pop up ads or spam to get in your way.
• There is usually a greater selection than free streaming websites.

CONS:
• Most movie download websites and torrent sites offer illegal downloads.
• Fines and legal fees for illegal downloading are not cheap, sometimes many thousands of dollars for each illegally downloaded file.
• Many torrent files are filled with viruses which can harm or wipe out your hard drive.
• The completed movie downloads may take from 1 hour to a few days to complete the download process.
• The movie files take up a great deal of space. Usually 700MB - 1.5 GB each.


3. Paid Movie Websites:
With the constant inflation in movie prices, movie rentals, and problems with the economy, people are trying to watch movies for a cheaper price than that of the movie theater while being more convenient than riding to the Blockbuster movie rental store. As a result, many people have discovered that watching movies online is a wise choice. In addition, you can now quickly connect your computer via cable to your home TV and view all your movies in the comfort of your home. Paid Movie Sites have benefits that the free streaming sites and downloadable torrent sites do not offer. The biggest benefit of these being great quality movies and audio. Movie watchers demand to see great quality movies. They understand that a poor quality movie will subtract from the feeling and experience of the movie. I'm no movie professional, but I myself have been known to turn off poor quality streaming and downloaded movies because they had grainy picture quality. So I can see where they're coming from.

PROS:
• Superior grade picture and sound which is also possible to be played in HDTV on your television.
• More affordable and more convenient than the cinema or driving to movie rental store.• Faster than downloading movies and free streaming movie sites.
• Watch Movies on Internet that are safe from viruses and legal can be found on paid movie sites.
• The largest selection of old movies, TV shows, music videos, and the newest releases.

CONS:
• There is a cost.• Good paid sites are difficult to find.
• Unless you have a top-of-the-line surround sound system connected to your TV, don't expect the rich sound that a movie theater has to offer.


FINAL SUMMARY:
In closing, free streaming movie sites are OK to start off with but are a bit of a hassle. Downloading movies from torrents offers greater quality but also brings with it the risk of illegal downloads and files with viruses. Paid movie sites cost money, but overall, offer the highest quality movies with less risk.
