Watching movies is probably one of the most popular forms of entertainment. In just the past decade or so, there have emerged many new ways for movie fans to watch movies. While most people still enjoy the theater experience the most, new technologies are increasingly making watching movies at home just as engaging.

Movie channels were at one point a great option, but I no longer find them the best way to enjoy a movie. I have found these days that you can get the best bang for your buck by watching films online and by using online DVD rental services such as Netflix. The cost of membership is very attractive.

If you are hoping to watch the maximum number of movies for the lowest price, a service like Netflix is definitely your best bet. By joining Netflix, you can rent unlimited DVDs each month that you are a member. You don't even have to pay postage since the return envelopes are provided for you.

A relatively new service was added recently that allows members to watch movies that are streamed online. Currently, there are 17,000 titles that can be watched free of charge.

While most of the movies on this list are old, there are still quite a few gems to watch, especially if you are an avid moviegoer.

People who are new to using Internet services may be reluctant to try something like Netflix. Fortunately, Netflix allows you to test the service risk free for up to 2 weeks using the Netflix free trial. This will allow you to get a taste for what Netflix is like before making a payment. I recommend Netflix very highly to anyone who loves to watch movies at home.
