> I pay for PPV

If only this were an option. I'd gladly pay a few bucks to stream a movie. But outside of the US and Canada I don't think PPV even exists at all.

Amazon prime isnt available in my country. I dont know of any other online PPV sites (anyone?)

If I can't stream it from one of these netflix-type sites (and as everyone else has pointed out, the selection is crap) my only options are drive to a DVD rental shop or visit thepiratebay.

And they wonder why piracy is rampant.

Google Play? I've successfully watched a couple of relatively recent films from the UK.

On iTunes you can buy movies. As in, to watch multiple times whenever you want. For instance, for NZ$18.99 I can buy Me, Earl and the Dying Girl.

That's ludicrously expensive if you just want to watch it once.
