I figure this is the best place to post about this.
I can't be the only 'movie buff' amongst the Puppy membership.....and, although I'm an avid user of NetFlix, it's also nice to have 'permanent' copies of favourite movies locally, which you can watch whenever you want to (regardless of whether your broadband connection is up or down).
I've always spent the odd moment searching for alternative sources for these. Unfortunately, too many of these sites give you 'the run-around', hot-linking you to everywhere except what you really want; a solid, genuine download link for the item in question.
Well, 2 days ago I struck gold - for real - and have been downloading like crazy ever since. I'm a total sci-fi 'nut' (have been ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper); it's a good job we switched ISPs around 2 years ago, and went from a 10 GB monthly 'cap' to unlimited downloads!
The website in question is this one:-
http://www.foumovies.com/
(Ignore the fact that it's mostly Indian & Pakistani films on the main page. Check out the 'Genre' list, and just start 'digging'. The good stuff's definitely there.....you just need to look for it).
I am, as I type this post, downloading a film I've been searching for I don't know how long; the 1956 sci-fi classic, 'Forbidden Planet'. I've found no end of so-called 'links' for this in the past, which have all proved to be dead-ends. At this precise moment in time, Chrome's download progress indicator is showing '669/779 MB...6 mins'. I'm so close I can taste it!
(And one of my absolute 'faves' has got to be the deliciously mental 'Mars Attacks!!' Makes me p**s myself laughing, every time I see it...)
But don't go thinking these are simply old classics. The site has many films from just last year (2017). I've sampled every single one I've downloaded, to make sure they work.....and, without exception, they're all very good quality. I've now got the full 'Matrix' series; all the 'Terminators'; both 'HellBoys' (yes; nice one!!); all the 'Mad Max's'; all 3 of the 'IronMan' films; several 'Aliens'; both of the Stallone 'Judge Dredd' movies.....the list goes on. And on. And.....well, that's just for starters.
I've got several more book-marked for tomorrow..!

I'm probably strange to most folks; I'm the sort of person who enjoys re-watching 'classic' movies over and over again.....unlike many I've run across, who always want to watch brand-new stuff that they've never seen before (and having watched it once, promptly lose interest in it). But that's probably endemic amongst the younger generation of today. Very short 'attention span', y'know..!
Anyway, that's enough of my drivel. The point of this post being to inform y'all of this site's existence; that they're good quality (720p and 1080p; the choice is yours).....and you can download to your heart's content, no questions asked. (If there is a 'catch', I haven't found it yet).
A 'gold-mine' indeed. It's got Mike's 'seal of approval'. Enjoy.
Mike.
