Netflix
i got a gift certificate for netflix for christmas. 1 dvd at a time, unlimited. seems like a good deal, but we'll see how it goes. i started my
queue last friday night and didn't get my first dvd until today. holidays and gerry ford and all that i hope. anyway, the disc is beat to hell, so
it better play.
here's the list i've put together. more documentaries than i expected. i wanna check out some older movies, too. stuff from the 60s or westerns or
shit i never would have watched when i was younger. any suggestions?
Nacho Libre
March of the Penguins
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Devil's Playground
The Remains of the Day
Howards End
Terror: The Living Proof
The Weather Man
Who Killed the Electric Car?
Alfie
The Magnificent Seven
The Thomas Crown Affair
Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior
Flogging Molly: Whiskey on a Sunday
An Inconvenient Truth
Almost Round Three: The Almost Video
Jesus Camp
V for Vendetta
On the Road with the Dropkick Murphys
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Duane, add me as your friend....i think theres others on here too...maybe a thread with other emails pertaining to netflix...ngsrecords@comcast.net
you can get recommendations see what other people have watched and liked etc etc...the more friends the better.
The cool thing with netflix is the more movies you review, it will make "smart" picks of movies you might like based on your reviews of other movies.
This also works well with having friends on their because based on your reviews and theirs it'll tell you what % of similar taste you have with
certain friends and is also usefull in helping choose. I have like 200 movies in my que right now, quite a few of these were from browsing through
friends que's and already watched lists.
You might not be close to a shipment center which might be the problem with your long wait...the problem with 1 dvd is by the time you send it back
and get the next one it is going to take 4-5 days in transit from you to them so you're only going to be getting 5 dvd's a month roughly. When you
have the three at a time, you can kind of cylce it so you get a new dvd every couple days...if you watch them within a day or so of receiving.

added. i'll look for that other thread. i think honus started it.
i hear ya on the different packages. the gift certificate is for six months, so we'll see how it goes. i don't watch much tv generally, so one or
two movies a week would be the max, but the shipping time will really determine how we proceed.
my favorite feature so far is that you can add movies to your 'watch list' that are in theaters or just coming out. it only dawns on me that i might
like to see a movie while they're shovign the new release ads down my throat. once it's out amd the ads are gone, i forget.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

we are on 6 at a time and it's great
not a good video store within an hours drive both ways
we get a lot of kids movies and classics
a lot of indie and foreign stuff as well...
and whatever you do don't get a dvd burner
your collection will never be the same

The Anarchist Cookbook tries to be clever, but really has a giant case of the gay.

For westerns I recommend:
The Wild Bunch
Django
Django Kill (If You Live, Shoot!)
Also check out Extreme Prejudice. It's like a western set in the 1980's with one hell of a cast shooting the fuck out of everything. Nick Nolte,
William Forsythe, Michael Ironside and the prison guard from Shawshank Redemption are all in it.
In addition, give Cemetery Man a watch. Pound for pound, it's my favorite horror film of all time.
