Cube got you down? Listen to a Movie!


Listen To A Movie is a website designed solely for the purpose of listening to your favorite movies and TV shows. The site contains a pretty substantial collection of low-quality audio files for popular movies and TV shows that can be listened to for free using the sites built-in audio player. Clips can be paused, fast-forwarded and rewound to get to your favorite parts, or you can scroll through parts that translate much better when you can see them. You can also comment on your favorite movies, read small plot outlines, and of course purchase the DVD.

Designed for "the cubicle workers of the world," the player can be quickly put in "stealth mode" which disguises it as an excel spreadsheet when you boss walks by. While the excel sheet is still blatantly an explorer window that says "Listentoamovie" on it, you could fool the less observant passerby. This isn't exactly the best way to "see" a movie for the first time, but for things like episodes of The Simpsons or movies you may have seen a thousand times, it can be a great way to pass the afternoon in the ol' cube.
