Cheap Movies and Movie Rentals
I like movies – I like new ones, ancient ones, cult classics, foreign movies – I like them all, give me a excellent summary that interests me and I’m game. Even better is when I can watch the movies on a huge cover.
Movie theaters are expensive and I try to pick up gift cards from the local theaters when I can via holidays, birthdays and point gathering sites like My points. Then I can go to the theater for free.
But, a lucky day comes along on occasion where I don’t need to have a gift card and I can go to the movie theater for free or a link of dollars.
Every Summer the local movie theater chains have summer kids movies for cheap and I always fine a link on the list that interest me. I have already verified with the theaters that it is ok if an adult comes w/out a kid.
Regal Theater has a free family movie festival starting in June through August – Selected G & PG movies start at 10AM each Tuesday and Wednesday during the festival. Check the state selector for any theaters in your area.
AMC Theaters bargain movies aren’t free, but for $1 I can give to charity – All admission proceeds from AMC Summer MovieCamp will subsidy Diversity – The Children’s Charity and the Will Rogers Institute. Their movies are twice a month during the summer.
One very cool subsidy to the apartment complex I live in, and one no one uses, is the 70+ inch cover that I can watch dvd rentals on. I get the movie theater seats that I eactly want (chuckle), I can pop my own popcorn, and I can result in my own taste, and have some friends over to see a movie off the huge cover, and have a day in the dark watching movies I’ve on loan.
For the best deals on movie rentals I find the following seats the best:
1. The Library – new releases, ancient classics, documentaries and foreign films are all here.
2. Swapping w/ friends – One of my co-workers always buys his movies, never rents and he is kind enough to let trusted friends borrow them.
3. Redbox – For a dollar you can’t beat it and if you have one of the free codes it is even better
4. Online Movies – Websites like Hulu place forward movies free, documentaries can be found at seats like Snag films among other free video sources. And if you feel technical enough, you could hook up a laptop to the tv set and watch it on a larger cover.
5. Movie subscriptions – I’m not a huge fan because I always seem to get the scratched ones, but if you have a subscription through Netflix or Blockbuster you can easily rent movies for 2.50 a piece or cheaper, depending on your subscription plot.
6. Finally, catching the huge fish is getting free tickets to public screening of a movie that has yet to come out. For these you want to check with your local theater if you live near a larger Metro area or, try incisive free place forward websites or just search online for public screenings
Overall, when you really reckon about it, you can see some sweet fantastic movies for a cheaper fee than $4 for PPV or $5-10+ at the theaters. It just takes some preparation and a huge bite of patience.
