In this article, we will be looking at 4 web sites that offer movie downloads. These sites are BigBanana.TV, MoboVivo, HungryFlix, and Jaman. The first 3 sites offer their movies in DRM-free MPEG4 format, while Jaman offers DRM movies but with the option to rent them.
If you are in the mood for cult or classic movies, then BigBanana.TV will not disappoint. The site offers a hand-picked selection of movies from the days gone by. Here, you can find your favorite cult classics like Night of the Living Dead, His Girl Friday, Hercules and many others. The movies are categorized into 18 different categories from Action to Western and everything else in between. With so many different categories available and with movies added weekly, you are sure to find something to watch.
The movies available on BigBanana.TV are all formatted in MPEG-4, which is supported by the Apple TV. The display sizes of the movies hover somewhere around 640x480 pixels, with wide-screen selections having the width of around 720 pixels. Though not in true HD, the better-than-DVD resolution of the movies makes it joy to watch. On some occasions though, I did detect minor ghosting on a couple of the movies I downloaded, especially on fast-moving scenes from animated movies.
BigBanana.TV requires a membership for downloading movies. You have to purchase credits which are available in $25.00, $50.00 and $100.00 options. You then use these credits to buy the movies, with pricing starts from $0.99. There is also a subscription service available where multiple movies can be downloaded as a bundle at a discount.
Take a serious look at this service if you are looking to add classic movies to your movie library. Though some of the public domain titles can be found elsewhere for free, BigBanana.TV's consistently fast download speed and high-quality encoded content offer major advantages to obtaining videos from some other sites.
