Online Transformers the Movie?

I never saw Transformers the Movie. 8 August is the 20th anniversary of its release and note also that the movie is basically set in the present! - so I'd like to celebrate by watching it. But in the part of the world I am now I would not be able to get a video. Is there any place online where you could just watch it with MP3 or whatever?

Also, any site that has a free copy of The Return of Optimus Prime online?I'd like to see that again.

There's pretty much nowhere that either Amazon or an eBay seller couldn't ship to. A movie DVD is typically about £5.

You could try IaconHub for eps, if it's still around.

I do need to watch it online because:

1) I don't have a TV, let alone a DVD player

2) I am in the Czech Republic. I earn about, shall I say, $700 US a month.

The only DVD rip floating around is the Canadian one (and that was years ago.) 357Mb, which is much too large for anything but filesharing networks.

Friendly neighbourhood pirate VCD sellers are probably your best bet; MPEG-1 playback is easier for most computers than MPEG-2 or MPEG-4, and it'd be on a couple of regular data CDs.

Leaving aside the legality of what you're asking, I think it would be more practical to buy it. I definitely don't mean to be rude but if you can't even afford a TV (again I don't mean to be rude but that is what you said yourself) I suppose you don't have an Internet connection that is fast enough to download over 350Mb of data in less than say 60 hours. If your ISP charges you for the time you stay online it will definitely be more expensive downloading the file and even if it doesn't you would waste the money on electricity considering the time required to keep the computer on downloading it. There are many cheap ones on eBay. That would me better IMO.

I think it might be touh to find anyone actually hosting the entire movie on their site, in this day and age. Your best bet would be p2p file sharing programs or bittorrent. Like it was already mentioned though, you cuold get one on ebay for about $6 if you are willing to put a bit of time into it.
