Even though the aroma of fresh popped popcorn and a darkened theater with a towering wide screen lures us to new released films, most of us still view much more movies at home than at the theater. With the introduction of online movie rental and movie downloads nearly ten years ago, the selections provided by the local video store are not the only options viewers have for their home entertainment.

Apart from the improved affordability, movie fans enjoy watching new movie movies at home as a result of convenience. With busy lives that keeps us on the job and also on the road, time spent relaxing at home is at a premium and any service which allows us to enjoy that time without additional complexity or effort is especially prized. With this in mind, which of these movie services provides the most value for the home viewer?

Traditional video stores can be convenient for some last minute movie picks; or at least convenient if someone lives in a few blocks of the store.
