It can be frustrating to find movies available for rent from the iTunes Store. Here's an easy way to do so.

After selecting the iTunes Store source, go into "browse" mode in iTunes by clicking the little eye icon at the bottom-right of the iTunes window. Select Movies in the left-hand column of the browser, then choose a genre from the other column. Click the Price column to sort by that criterion. In the list of movies, any movie that has "View Movie" or "Add" in the Price column is available for renting. (But not those that say "Add Movie"; you can tell by their prices.)

[kirkmc adds: Rob posted this hint last week, after we were chatting about how to find movies for rent. Today's hint is another method, which seems, in my testing, to be a bit easier to use, though you have to browse by genre. It's surprising that Apple doesn't make this easier.]
