iTunes is offering a $5 movie each day during the month of July. Here’s how you can get some cheap blockbuster movies.

iTunes sometimes has some very good deals on music, apps, and movies. During the month of July the iTunes movie store is offering one movie per day for just $5. And some of the movies being offered are blockbusters that should have a place in the collection of any film buff.

I opened the iTunes app on my Mac today and went into the movie store. Sure enough, I found the popular movie Dances With Wolves for just $5. That’s a very good deal for such a film, even if it’s not a recent release.

Thanks Apple: $5 is a great price for films

I’ll be keeping a close eye on the films being offered for the rest of July in the iTunes movie store. $5 is about as cheap as it gets for feature films, so I’ll snag any films that I like and add them to my collection.

I wouldn’t mind if Apple made the $5 iTunes movie an ongoing thing. Think of how many movies you could accumulate over the course of a year if they did!

$5 is cheap enough to make any movie buff happy. Thanks Apple!
