Love Film – LoveFilm.com
If you live in the UK or select European countries, you’ve probably heard of LoveFilm.com. They function in much the same way as Netflix or Blockbuster, allowing subscribers to select from over 67,000 movies and video games on the Internet and then enjoy them in the privacy of their home (via online streaming or the postal service). Customers never have to worry about late fees, and movies can be kept out for an unlimited time.
In this article, we’ll be looking at some of the most important details about Love Film, including subscriptions fees, eligibility requirements, and their free trial. For our readers who live in the United States, this article won’t do you much good considering you’re outside their coverage area. Still, Netflix is happy to supply you with movies, and you can start the membership process by clicking here.

- The free trial also includes online viewing.
That concludes our basic overview of the LoveFilm.com online rental service. If you live in America (where Love Film is unavailable), be sure to become a member of Netflix instead. We do get a commission when you sign up for the latter, but all proceeds go right back into the website.
