Thats what I really like. I have quite a few in my queue and I tend to
forget what I've reserved. It's nice to open the mailbox and be
surprised.
The biggest reason I like them is that I *hate* crowds. Being at a video
store on a Friday or Saturday night (the only time I have to watch a
movie) is a nightmare. Screaming kids, teenagers, people arguing a 50
cent late charge, etc. Plus I spent 2 years in my early 20s managing a
video store so I'm a bit sick of them. lol

The thing I really dig about netflix is I can rent movies that I would
otherwise have to buy in order to see them...
Since joining I have seen classics like The Ipcress File, Funeral in
Berlin, Casino Royale, The Man Who Would Be King and currently in my
rental queue I have The Andromeda Strain (classic sci-fi thriller); The
Taking of Pelham One, Two Three (Resevoir Dogs source material);
Marathon Man; Black Adder I,II, III, Goes Forth, and Back and Forth; and
such.
All very difficult to find @ Hollywood unless you want to rent on a
crappy ol'VHS (which sort of defeats the purpose).
Another thing I like is when I hear about a movie here or on one of the
other lists, I can go to Netflix and add it to my queue, I don't have to
remember to pick it up on the way home or whatever.
Saw Spun the other night because I heard about it here.
