iTunes.
www.hulu.com is pretty good. Besides some good movies (once in a while), the have good TV shows. For example, 159 episodes of the original Dick Van Dyke show!
o you want a “legal” download site! /me moves on to a different thread. =-)
OH...LEGAL..Sorry, I’m in the wrong thread. bitorrent (cough). WTF, who said that?
Netflix’s low budget plan is $8.99 per month. For that you get one movie mailed to you at a time and you can watch content on an unlimited basis on their website (I am watching the BBC’s Robin Hood right now). They have a pretty wide-ranging library of movies and tv shows, a good percentage of which you can watch on the web. First run movies you generally have to request be mailed to you.
Almost forgot, you can sign up right now for free. If you don’t like it, then you have two weeks to cancel before they start charging you.
Did you try Amazon?
Try these Yahoo search results for: ‘movies’, ‘online’, ‘download’:

And as someone above suggested, iTunes. They have lots of movies, most, if not all, are downloads. I don’t think they do any business through snail mail.
Blockbuster is the same pricve as netflix with the added benefit of returning the movies you got through the mail to the store and getting a free 5 day movie rental. Works for me.
Just be careful. Some sites have “membership” which allows you to download movies from their site, but that does not necessarily mean that you can obtain a legal copy of a particular movie.
