I did it!

I finally signed us up for a Netflix account. There are so many movies that I've been dying to see and haven't. We end up in the mood to watch a movie only to not have one, and aren't able to find anything good on cable. This is really neat!

The first selections include:
-Donnie Darko
-The Order (thriller/horror type movie with religious overtones, a guilty pleasure of mine)
-League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (yeah, I've heard bad things about this but we still want to see it anyway)

Do you have any suggestions of things that we must put on our list?

I rented a ton of Jon Woo and other original Hong Kong action flicks as well as random anime when I first got netflix, and that was pretty cool. The single disc that has both el mariachi and desperado (parts 1 and 2 of the Once Upon A Time in Mexico "Trilogy") was nice.

I originally used netflix to get wierd real serious 'film' movies, but then I never watched them cuz I wasn't in the mood. So now I usually try to keep a mix on hand -- one set of a series like the simpsons, two lighter/comedy/stupid hollywood action types and a film film that I really should see. (I get four since I signed up right when netflix came out).

That way i have a few brainless titles at hand, but if I want a real movie I can grab it.

The real trick of course is turn around. If you have a movie for more than a few weeks and you aren't certain you want to watch it soon, I suggest just returning it and re-adding it to your que so you can get something you actually might watch. Otherwise you are sorta wasting the money.

And I loved this movie:
