Megan and I don't have cable, we don't even have a TV. But we do rent a LOT of movies. At a video store less that 200 yards from our house we can rent four movies for three days for three dollars. This movie store has a very interesting business plan. When new releases come out they only purchase one copy. Then they make 10-20 copies of the movie and only rent the copy. Then when the popularity of the movie goes down they sell the copies for $1. If you rent a copied movie it's $1 but if you rent an original it's $1.50. I'm not sure how international copyrights work but this has be illegal. However, cable is $25 a month and the channel selection is not that great so we enjoy watching a lot of movies.
Since we rent a lot of movies we see a lot of terrible movies. The worst movie I've seen in more than a year is "License to Wed". I hated all the characters so much that at the end I was hoping it would turn into a slasher movie. We do see some really good ones from time to time here is a short list of movies we really liked:
In America - My favorite movie that we've watched since we've been here. About a Irish couple who moves to New York.
Rescue Dawn
Rain
The Wendell Baker Story
Perfect Strangers
Premonition

You're right - that does sound pretty illegal. Which makes the post funny!
