Online DVD Rental: Greencine Review

Rent DVDs by Mail, As Low As $9.95 / Month

Overall Rank #3

GreenCine might not be the biggest provider of online DVD rental, but they are focused on a niche.  They call themselves the “film addict’s website”.  This is because GreenCine offers a large selection of independent films, cult classics, and many other specific genres.  For example, GreenCine has a huge Anime section.  This allows their members to find that one of kind movie that they are dying to see.  Also, GreenCine gives back to the independent movie community.  They have many partnerships with different movie foundations and movie festivals.  GreenCine’s website also services as a community with discussion boards, blogs, and forums.  This is unlike the larger online DVD rental sites.
