Movielink Reviewer's Comments

From new releases to cult cinema to foreign films, Movielink offers a good collection of popular films and receives our “TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award.” Movielink has created relationships with some of the top studios, including MGM Studios, Paramount Pictures, Sony Picture Entertainment, Universal Studios and Warner Brothers Studios, to offer legal, quick and safe movie downloads.

Movielink offers per movie pricing and does not require a membership fee. They also offer all kinds of movie specials and a different 99 cents movie everyday. You can also purchase DVDs through their site.

This service offers a unique selection of popular films and some excellent features but falls behind the #1 movie download site, CinemaNow, because they offer fewer titles and don’t have a burning option for any of their films.

Movie Selection:  

Movielink has a selection of over 1000 feature films by some of the major studios. They also offer a variety of National Geographic films and shows from The Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and The Learning Channel. Movielink includes Sundance Channel Home Entertainment films, documentaries and other shows from the Brithish Broadcasting Corp (BBC).

Movielink does not have an adult-mature category however, they do host a “Screen Steam” section that are not rated X films, but sexy Rs. By and large, this site is kid–friendly and hosts a family section with G and PG films.

Ease of Use of Service:  

We found Movielink to be extremely easy to use and they don’t require a long complicated registration process.
