Spitfire PRXIX,
What kind of movies are you looking for and in which format?
The problem with downloading a full DVD is the size of the movie. Anything less that DVD quality will not look and sound very good if you have a nice home entertainment system.
Personally I prefer to buy the DVD if it is a movie I really want. There are several places online that have good prices depending on where you live in the world.
If you are looking for independent films that people make and put on the net for free ditribution, that is something different. They take a little searching, but it is well worth it, since there are very good new artists/producers making very good movies on the net that are legal for download and sharing.
Take Care,
Richard
