Netflix

[maye]

So we just got Netflix, and we are loving it. But there are 8 million and twelve movies out there!
So I ask you, my friends....what should I be renting?

Currently on my list:

That I haven't seen:
The Office Season One- I still haven't watched this show, I've heard it's great.  
A Prairie Home Companion
Annie Hall- I have never understood why anyone

Comments

I've never seen Annie Hall.

But I really enjoyed Manhattan Murder Mystery and LOVED Everyone Says I Love You.

Bullets Over Broadway I felt was overrated, but I liked Celebrity. I saw The Curse of the Jade Scorpion on a plane so I don't remember much; and Match Point was, well, it's not your typical Woody Allen.

Burn through the first season of the Office quickly (which won't be hard, at 6 30-minute episodes). The second season is where the show really takes on its own feel and diverges from the BBC original.

Right now I'm getting a bunch of documentaries. I like to use the feature of Netflix that recommends shows. It's not always perfect, but it can lead you to some interesting new things.

I was not a huge fan of Celebrity.

I'll have to look into that feature for recommendations, it might be interesting to see some odd things.

I got a recommendation from a co-worker today to rent Murderball, about quadriplegics who play rugby, which I am definitely adding to my queue!
