Ditto. This is the only available way to catch movies around the world here. The industry here is totally wrecked, IMO! Almost no foreign films gets released in the theaters. I guess most of the viewers here haven't even seen an original dvd in life. All the so called DVD stores are packed with pirated dvds...they just download 'pirated torrent movies' along with the dvd covers and then just copy-paste & sells in the stores in a cheap price. So people got so used to buy & see 'movies in DVDs' in that kind of price range that they can't even think of spending an amount of a standard price of original dvd for their viewing purpose. Moreover, the banks & financial institutions doesn't allow to keep or use an International Credit Card for online purchases. You can have or carry a Credit card to buy things but that's just when you're in abroad. But still I made some desperate efforts to buy original dvds online few years back by sending Cash (USD) via mail which is a very risky & hazardous procedure. Luckily I even bought several number of dvds by contacting with some good sellers at e-bay. But most of the time it took more than expected times (I guess probably for our lazy postal services) to get the package here properly...in most cases 2 to 3 months. But sadly I even lost quite a large amount of cash after some 'failed/missing delivery' and last year or the year before that when I was finally realized that I'm not getting the package of Coffin Joe's Coffin-box set along with some other cool dvds then I finally stopped buying Original dvds online through sending cash via mail.
Now it has been almost a year I bought a laptop and started downloading Pirated torrents and watching films whichever I want or find online. It has been a great rescue for a movie fan like me.

So...Long live Pirated Torrents!:)
