Its happy days for the British movie-watching public with the advent of Lovefilm’s extensive library of more than 65,000 movie titles, all available to rent under one of several very affordable plans. Lovefilm is also offering a range of extra services that have been getting a lot of enthusiastic response from their customers, and from all indications they plan to keep up the good work.
Subscribers already have about 2,000 titles available with online streaming, and we can expect a lot more, as this option will probably replace DVD's by mail entirely at some not-too-distant point in time. At present, though, the selection available is outstanding, with all the best films from Hollywood as well as the best new British films and a huge range of classic and independent film offerings.
Lovefilm’s website is also outstanding; it’s very well designed and easy to navigate, plus it has a lot of extras like interviews with stars and celebrities, off-screen gossip and lists of recommendations from reviewers and Lovefilm staff. There’s even a page where celebs personally recommend their favourite films, which has proven to be a big hit with subscribers.
Another really nice feature is the guarantee that if any film released on DVD in the U.K. isn’t in the Lovefilm library, they will search it out and send it to you within days. In general, the turnaround time for rentals by mail is as fast as the post can move, and there is virtually no wait-time at the source.
