The best place to get movies would have to be Direct Connect. www.neo-modus.com has the program for it.
Here's a quick thing about downloaded movies.
1) They are usually rips from theatres. That means they have foriegn sub-titles and people walking through.
2) There are different forms of video: AVI, DIVX, ASF, and MPEG. The first three need a codec (compressor/decompressor file) to play and are usually poorer quality, but smaller files. MPEGs are the usually the best recording of movies, since MPEGs are not compressed or filtered.
3) The coolest thing is if you get a good copy of a movie you can burn it to disc as a VCD. this allows you to play it in some DVD Players. I found a screening of F & F and play it on my DVD player now. It was a total of 1.4 gigs!
Just try all the download programs until you find one you like, and try to get MPEG for the movies you want, and AVI, DIVX for the movies you want to check out. Have fun man. Oh yeah, if you know anyone with a "pub" that has movies that's the best way. I got Planets of the Apes (screening) before it came out.
