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

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

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