In the past, movies were only available to those who would stand in line and pay for the admission cost to the local movie theaters. Along with the latest flick, they would be able to treat themselves and their loved ones to popcorn, sodas, sweets, and also savory food items, depending on what the concession stand would stock. For the romantic souls, there was the double feature at the drive in movie theatre. Of course, with the growing popularity of television, free movies were available via the original three or four channels. Granted, they were not the latest movies, and more often than not you would be watching them in black and white and with some creative positioning of a clothes hanger in lieu of an actual antenna, but you could now enjoy movies in the comfort of your home.

From there it was only a small step forward to dedicated movie channels that show any movie several times over. For an extra $15, you will be able to watch the latest releases as soon as they are out of the movie theatres! Anymore the dueling movie reviews of the greats as well as the more obscure will whet your appetite for movies you have not yet enjoyed, and you can hardly wait for them to appear on your movie channels. Movie trailers further serve to show you enticing clips of the features that you are simply dying to see!

Fortunately, in addition to ordering a special movie channel, you can now download movies from the Internet. Some free movie downloads are available for those who subscribe on a long term basis, making thousands of movies accessible with just a few clicks of the mouse. These movies are oftentimes such an eclectic mix that it is hard to not find something you will be certain to enjoy. Free big movies are usually rare, but for those who just cannot get enough, there are now movie downloads for your handheld PDA! These movies may be playing on a small screen, but other than the diminutive size of the display, there is nothing small about these feature films at all! As you can see, the latest movies are yours for the asking via the Internet, and they will play either on your television, PDA or even cell phone. There is now no longer a shortage of means to achieve the ultimate movie watching enjoyment.
