Are there any 100% online movie streaming services?

Does anyone know of any (legal) sites which will stream the latest movies?

I currently use LoveFilm and get DVDs sent through the post and have tried their movie streaming service. Whilst it is exactly what I am looking for it was a pretty poor selection of titles.

p.s. Can/Will not use Sky, BT Vision etc. as have no TV license.
p.s.2. I have an unlimited broadband package.

    If you can wait a few months Netflix is coming to the UK as a Streaming only Movie service (they did do a LoveFilm style DVD rentil here a few years ago which bombed!).

    No official word when it's going live but keep an eye out on NetFlix's site.

    I have Netflix and I like it a lot.

    Their streaming service generally has older/not very good movies on it, though they do have a lot of great TV shows.

    You could always try renting movies from iTunes. Not quite the same thing I grant you, but you'd get to watch the films you wanted without having to leave the house.
