Watching films online pay as you go

Can't justify paying monthly for films.
Is there a site where you can pay as you go to watch movies on? I know Virgin do it. But their selection of movies isn't that good, imo.

Netflix basically buys a licence to a programme or film for a certain time, but they have different licences in different countries (and notably, they have far far more licences in the US) so being able to see it for every country is a massive advantage
I will say that the WORST thing about LoveFilm is their customer service, if you think it'll be easy to cancel when you want, be prepared to get annoyed on the phone constantly repeating yourself, they don't let you cancel online. That's my biggest gripe with them, they're outdated in many ways.
You should give them both a try.
There's other places like iTunes, Google Play, even Lovefilm has a PAYG service, but I believe that is DVD only. There's Blinkbox and NowTV (by Sky) it is subscription, but you're pretty much paying for the Sky Movies channel (and you can use mobile devices)
