Movies are a great way to ease the boredom of a long flight or road trip. Getting your movies mobile isn't always easy, though, and the cost of buying DVDs or movie downloads can add up quickly at $10-$20 a pop.

If you don't feel like dragging around a laptop or a portable DVD player, there are some great options out there for taking downloaded videos on the go. Some of them will even let you rent movie downloads for less than $5 each.

To learn more, check out our list of top five portable video players that support movie rental downloads.
