Netflix Suite for MT

I finally caved in and joined Netflix (in case you've been living under a rock and don't know about them, they let you have up to three movies out at a time for $19.99 a month and you can rent as many as you want). I'm currently out of work, so I've already watched four movies since I joined last week.

Of course, since I'm also a geek, I had to install the Netflix Suite for MT which allows you to show what movies you currently have out, which ones you've seen, and which ones are in your queue. If you're interested, you can check out my Netflix viewing habits here.

Oscar, the creator of the Netflix Suite, is also going to be working on adding functionality to let you see what I rated a movie so you can see what I thought of it.

So, anyone have any movies - new or old - that are must sees that I need to add to my list?

oh my god Netflix is like the best thing ever. My local hub is the same place my local post office is so I get movies in a day I love it.

I used to be a member of Netflix - I wish I still was! We can't afford it anymore. It's a great business idea though, and I'm glad to see it's still going strong.

We've been using Netflix since last year and love it. However we downgraded our membership form the $19.95 (add tax to $20.75)/month because of their upcoming rate increase to $21.99 (add tax too). But we still love it..especially since they opened a distribution center only a hour drive from us..we get movies really quickly. Which reminds me..we have three movies to watch this week! hehe

Love Netflix...but gave it up so I could get HBO for the last of SATC, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Six Feet Under. Damn, I miss it though!!

Check out SHALLOW GRAVE...creepy, super well acted and teaches a lesson in "the economy of story telling" Just a thought. From the makers of Trainspotting...before they were all flashy. Just a thought - first thing that popped into my head. ;-)

Here's some movie suggestions (if you haven't seen them already) that are some of my personal favorites:

Zero Effect
Memento
The Following

I'll just say three of them, love netflix though.
