I have 72. At my current rate, that may take me years.

2. ROFL!
Wow! We usually keep 7-10, but if we were to add everything we want to see eventually, that would be more like 50-100!

Good luck getting through that! If you watched one a day, I'd only take you about 3 months... :D

3. Yeah, they make it so easy!
They're pretty good at offering suggestions based on your preferences, so they keep throwing recommendations in front of me and I go yeah (click), yeah (click), yeah (click).

I'll have to go in and do some pruning one of these days.

Truely a must see. As well as a must show to everyone you can.
Netflix was the only place I was able to find it and I signed up just for it!

11. The Corporation
I just saw it about a month ago at the Wisconsin Film Festival. A great documentary.

14. I like the first hour the best.
In the first hour they do a psychological profile of a corporation. After all they claim to be people so we might as well know what kind of peopl they are. The director and his psychology expert decide they more or less meet the definition of psychopaths.

8. You make a list of all the movies you want to see...
it can be as long as you want, in your order of preference. Whenever you return one, they send you the next on your list.

Whenever I hear about a movie that sounds good, no matter where, I just add it to the list. I don't get to the theaters very often these days with a 1 year old, so I put them on the list and wait. That way I dont' forget later.

I'm a big film in theater fan, so it hurts me to see these all on video, but it beats missing them altogether.j

Just returning "Fog of War" today. Fantastic film!

19. Once you go Netflix, you'll never go back to Blockbuster
We tried cancelling - that only lasted 6 months or so and then I just couldn't resist rejoining just the other day. We really missed it. We signed back up on the economy plan - $14.95 for 4 movies per month. It certainly beats the cost going out to the movies - ($30+ per movie) and we're a LOT more comfortable :-)

It really is a great service - if you like renting movies (and you have a DVD player) you'll love Netflix.

10. LOL!!!
I have 279 in my queue and 6 awaiting release. When I hear about a movie I'd like to see, I put it in the queue, then change the order around depending on what I'm in the mood for.

It probably actually costs me a little more at Netflix than at my cheap video store, but I never have to make an effort to return the DVDs, and I never have late charges. Just a walk to the end of the driveway or to the desk at a motel for outbound mail, and I know a new one will be on the way.
