“Say hello to my little friend!”...Watch free YouTube Movie Extras, and rent great films like Scarface, Harry Potter, Inception, Little Fockers, and more. YouTube.com/movies.

Watch feature length movies, shorts, and trailers on YouTube. We're adding new movies frequently including classics, documentaries, and independent films.

Yeah but not in Germany of course. We germans are soooo wealthy, we should pay 5€ per movie instead of 3-4$ ...

I can't think tonight. Lag was the word I was looking for.

It was pretty constant, it lagged every 1 sec. Totally unexceptable for a movie. Even for a game with heavy GFX that kind of lag would be unexceptable.

Banner ads, annoying popups, and pay per click. Not to butcher a movie to insert commercials. Razz
