We now live in a small town with no Blockbuster or equivalent store, which is what we used to do maybe twice a month when we fancied a film at home. We've used love film in the past, but my missus had a rant at the uselessness of their website and has decided to veto them.

Does anyone know of a lovefilm rival that's worth looking at? We don't watch enough films to subscribe up to sky movies.

There's loads online. Not sure who offers the best service though.
Amazon, Blockbuster, dvdrental - just a few.

Used the Wilkinson Plus DVD Rental Service as a trial years ago - they were fairly slow to post.

Not exactly legal though is it?

besides the film quality can be patchy.

I like to think of it as borrowing it from a mate. But forgetting to give it back to him. And he never complains.

Correct they are overpaid, but do you walk into a supermarket and think "I won't pay for this, they earn billions each year"

I would guess not and to me this is no different.
