Amazon.com DVD
An extremely popular site and for good reason. Just to mention a few of the things that Amazon.com’s online DVD store offers: a section for new and future releases, an alphabetical index that allows you to browse by title, and a search engine.

Amazon.com Video
Amazon.com’s well-designed online video store has all the information you need on new and future releases, in addition to a wide variety of titles in current release. One feature I like about the site is that they offer both editorial reviews and customer reviews.

Barnes & Noble.com DVD/Video
This is a well-designed and informative site offering online sales of DVDs and videos. You can browse DVD/video titles by genre, find out about new releases, and learn about what's coming soon.

At Blockbuster’s online home, you can get a sneak peak at what’s coming soon, find out what the top ten selling titles are, and buy movies online.

Cafe DVD offers online rentals at an affordable price and has an impressive selection of titles, including Criterion Collection DVDs in addition to art-house, independent, and classic titles.

DVD Planet
DVD Planet offers online DVD sales and has an awesome selection of titles with terrific prices to match. You can peruse a variety of movie genre categories.

Facets
With over 18,000 rare and out-of-print videos, Facets is a serious film-lover’s delight, and they are particularly strong on art-house titles. You can purchase videos and DVDs online or rent by them by mail.

Netflix
This well-known Web site offers unlimited online DVD rentals for a flat monthly fee. If you rent a lot of DVDs every month, this might make an interesting alternative to the video store.
