How to get DVD movies of new releases in the UK

John McNamara John McNamara

If you have missed a movie you want to see in the cinema, then getting it as soon as it is released on DVD in the UK is a must. Technology has made an impact on the way we rent and buy films as well as how we watch them. This article looks at the ways to get movie releases in the UK.

Hollywood hits

Watching films at home has undergone great change in recent years. The latest DVDs used to be available first to rent through High street video stores, then to buy and then eventually they would appear on TV. Now the process is much quicker and High street stores are less relevant. Buy movies in DVD format online
Through internet sites such as Amazon, Play and Zavvi, you can pre-order DVDs and buy these not long after they have appeared in the cinema. On-demand services on cable and satellite channels also offer easy access to newly released movies. Rental DVDs
If your preference is to rent DVDs, there is greater choice. Get your DVD by postal mail via one of the many companies who deliver to your doorstep. Sign up to the likes of Blockbuster rentals, LoveFilm or Tesco DVD rental and you will soon have plenty to watch for a reasonable monthly fee. Author's suggestions
Make a list of the films you wish to watch from the extensive collections available and you will be sent one or more of your choices (depending on the package you choose) through the post. When you have watched the film you simply post it back in a prepaid package. One of the advantages of this is that you can watch the latest movie blockbusters as well as classic films from the past.

Cult section

If your outlook stretches beyond the usual Hollywood blockbuster releases, then there are plenty of options out there to stock up your collection.
Author's suggestions
Keep an eye on the latest releases in the realms of arthouse, world and classic films at some of the specialist websites dedicated to this area. The likes of Letterboxdvd and MovieMail are good places to search for new releases, while Cine-Asia provides the opportunity to keep up to date with news and buy DVDs from the Asian and martial arts market.
