This means Google now has MGM, five of the six major studios (don\u2019t hold your breath for Fox) and over ten independent movie studios on board.<\/p>\n<p>This means you\u2019ll be able to enjoy West Side Story, Moonstruck, The Terminator, Robocop, Rain Man, Rocky and hundreds more. MGM will be adding more titles to the existing library in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Movie fans in the US have been able to rent movies on YouTube since 2010, and last April we announced that the Google-owned video-streaming service was starting to bring the major studios on board, signing deals with the likes of Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, Universal, as well as Lionsgate.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube has been rolling out its movie-rental service to other countries in addition to the US and Canada, and the UK was added shortly after Canada last year. It has since added the likes of Japan and France too.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; font-family: Georgia, Cambria, Times, serif; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.6; color: #535353; border: 0px initial initial;\"><a style=\"border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #cccccc;\" href=\"http:\/\/thenextweb.com\/google\/2012\/04\/16\/google-partners-with-mgm-to-bring-more-than-600-titles-to-youtube-and-google-play-in-north-america\/\" target=\"_blank\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the war for online feature film streaming, Google just scored a massive strike, partnering with MGM to bring over 600 full length movies to YouTube and Google Play.
