Want to thank my friends that helped  

Yes, I did see Wallie. It was cute wasn't it? I enjoyed it also. I am sure you can hook up anything to your laptop that you want as long as you have the right gizmo to connect it to the laptop. I watch an occasional movie on my PC. I love Netflix. I may have been one of the ones that gave you some information about it. It is great! I don't use as much in the summer as I do in the winter. My list of movies is very long. They have a great selection too, don't they?

Why don't you just connect your computer to your tv so you can watch movies that way? Go to: http://www.stretcher.com/stories/09/09jun01a.cfm and scroll down to "technical details". That way, you can watch the movie on your tv screen and avoid the cost of a larger monitor. That is, if your pc is reasonably close to your television.

I have not tried Netflix yet. We have such a diverse movie network with our cable company, that we can generally find something to watch! I do like to browse the previously viewed DVD racks at the local movie gallery though. If there is a movie I've seen on HBO or Cinemax that I really want for my library...I can get it sometimes as low as $5

Hi bunnybon7,



I am glad you can watch movies on your pc and enjoying it, my how things have changed and its amazing what you can get on your pcs these days, but i won't as I am not much of a movie buff and don't really have the time to sit and watch it, but you have great time. Hugs.

I'm so glad for you Bon! I haven't seen Wallie yet, but I've been tempted to try netflix.
About the monitor you want, yes, the prices keep going down and just the other day tigerdirect had a nice 22' for less than $150.
Sorry about your DVD and hope you work that out, but thanks for the recommendation.

I think Wall-E even got nominated for a couple of Oscars. Whatever it got nominated for, I know it got fantastic reviews. I would like to see it. I'm glad you like Netflix. I absolutely love it. I also get on to watch old episodes of shows like CSI: Miami. Netflix is so much better than my local Blockbuster. lol

Hey bunny! I've heard of that movie and wanted to watch it too!
I used to watch movies on my computer sometimes when I would
be up very late at night! I loved it! My young friend showed
me some "free" sites where I could watch brand new movies
that have just come out! Now I have a DVD player (boyfriend's)
so he rents some on the weekends for us to watch! Only thing
is he brings home horror flicks and other stuff that I won't
watch! Every now and then he brings home something that I
will actually watch with him! But, it's like $3 for each movie
to rent and they aren't even worth it for the weekend! But,
it's his money and his player!

It is really good-looking

It is true. Our computer has all the hookup to be able to use it as a dvr and also the bigger screen. But my husband hasn't figured out how to do it.
But for a laptop it is probably just a matter of getting the right plug-in.
My daughter started to watch Wall-E but quit.
A far a looking for a large screen I would check out Amazon. They have some good deal and you don't have to go out to get it.

Cool!! I'm glad you got it. Although I have Blockbuster, it's the same concept. I just love it - we have 3 movies waiting to be watched now. I don't watch them on my pc because I like the comfort of my couch.

I did see Wall-e a while ago. It was pretty cute! Sometimes I like the kid movies better than the adult movies.

ENJOY!
