Now that Fall (and Winter) are approaching, it’s gonna be time to cuddle up and watch a movie under a nice fluffy blanket. Instead of looking through the cable channels or the limited pay-per-view sites or venturing out to the video store, I was thinking about downloading some movies (legally, of course). I’ve found one website that had a fair selection and fair prices too, called [Movielink.com](http://www.movielink.com/) Any opinions on this service? Any others worth checking out? (Note: I did the Netflix thing before and just wasn’t altogether satisfied with it. Too much waiting and then too much pressure to watch the movies right away. Talk about an added neurosis 😃 ) ---

I’ve used the free movie service at [movieflix.com](http://movieflix.com). I hope the pay services are higher quality. ---

I hear Tivo and Netflix are working together to offer downloadable movies in the near future.
