Why rent films online?

There are a number of reasons why it can be beneficial to rent films online.

Of course, if you are still using DVDs, Blu-rays or 4K Blu-rays, then renting them rather than buying them means you will have more space on your shelves in your lounge. You won’t need to invest in a large films cabinet either!

Here are a few more reasons why it is good to rent films onlinein the UK:

  • Save money. Brand new DVDs can be expensive. In fact, when buying new releases, DVDs can cost up to £15. And let's not mention the price of a single 4K Blu-ray disc. When renting films online, you can have access to brand new titles for a money-saving monthly fee.
  • Make the most of a free trial. Test the process of hiring films online and pay nothing. Really? Yes, pay nothing. Zilch. Nada for a free trial.
  • Save money on going to the cinema. Unless you’re absolutely on it when it comes to cinema vouchers, a trip to your local movie theatre can cost a lot. When you compare, you can hire 2-3 films online in equivalence to one cinema trip.
  • Enjoy the movies from the comfort of your own home. Your sofa, your popcorn (handmade for not-alot-of-money!), your choice of time, your bottle of red and the latest film release. What could be better?
  • Save the cinema for a special occasion. If there are certain films you simply cannot wait to be released on DVD, you could visit the cinema for these minorities of films.

The rest? Hire films online from Cinema Paradiso and save some of your hard-earned cash!

    Shortly after that 1927 release, an entire quarter of Lang's original version was cut by Paramount for the US release, and by Ufa in Germany, an act of butchery very much against the director's wishes. The excised footage was believed lost, irretrievably so - that is, until one of the most remarkable finds in all of cinema history, as several dusty reels were discovered in a small museum in 2008. Since then, an expert team of film archivists has been working at the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung in Germany to painstakingly reconstruct and restore Lang's film.
