Apps with popcorn under your arm: four must-have apps for movie fans
Table of contents:
Windows 8 and Windows Phone are made for movie lovers: from the one who wants to watch movies on their device to the one who wants to have well planned how to enjoy your main hobby. The catalog of applications for all of them is growing day after day, but today we want to focus on four of the applications that best reflect the passion for movies that lies behind many Windows developers and users.
Movie Showtime
Movie Showtime is the ideal application for all those who like to go to the movies almost every week and not just watch it on their computer, television or tablet. Thanks to its geolocation service it offers the user all kinds of information about the movies that are in the nearest theaters. Not only that, but, of course, it also details the times of those movies you want to see, as well as a map to easily find the theaters, something very useful if we are in a location that is not ours.
At Movie Showtime we will also find all the details of each movie that is on the billboard or will be released soon, including the trailer in the highest possible quality .

Hyper for Youtube
Youtube is today a great place to find videos, series and movies completely free. Hyper allows you to take full advantage of the Google service from the Windows 8 interface, with as many features as an official client would have... and even more.
The possibility of always choosing the default playback quality (with Full HD 1080p included), having our Youtube account active to save our favorites or our playlists, to be able to download other videos in the background while we are watching a different one to end the wait... There are many details that make Hyper one of the best possible options in Windows 8 to enjoy Youtube.

Sony Pictures Releasing
Sony is one of the big names in the movie business and its application for Windows 8 takes advantage of all the information on prime-time Hollywood premieres. In addition to knowing all the information about the films that are and already have theaters, we will be the first to learn about upcoming releases and enjoy their promotional trailers.
Sony's application also allows us to download wallpapers of the distributor's films completely free of charge and adapted to our Windows 8.

Plex
Plex is a classic in media centers, the place where you can bring together all your multimedia content and take advantage of it.Although Video, the native application of Windows 8, is more than enough to be able to watch movies, Plex becomes a complete manager of your entire library: classify each file according to whether it is a series, movie or music, search for information online about all them to be able to show it to you before hitting play, it allows you to integrate sub titles with all imaginable options, or manage the audio.
If you are one of those who accumulates many movies and series to watch and you want to keep a complete track of everything and that they are organized without having to search for them throughout your drive hard (or several of them, even), Plex is your ideal tool. And it also has a Windows Phone application, so you can also enjoy your movies from your smartphone.
