Cancelled it months ago.

I've noticed that. I was thrilled to get it back in the summer, as I was able to watch all of Breaking Bad before the final season began, but yeah, their movie selections definitely suck. It is also a bummer that they can't work out a deal with HBO to get their TV shows on there.

I don't have a problem with that, but they apparently can't stream old movies either.

yeah unless there are multiple seasons of a show I want to get caught up on, we just cancel.

You sound like me. I do unlimited disks though. Maybe I shouldn't.My Netflix queue is over 400 movies long.
I can always find a movie on there that I want to see. I have the "One disc at a time, limit 2 a month plan" for new movies.
Works for me.
After the playoffs, I might switch back to unlimited DVD's until the summer.

There hasn't been that many good new movies over the past few months. Now that the playoffs are here, Saturday night is set with football. Lots of shows come back in January and February. 2 DVD's a month is fine for us. We've been checking out other shows like The Fall and Lillyhammer and watching Louie over again. Plus, like the OP says, streaming is good for documentaries.You sound like me. I do unlimited disks though. Maybe I shouldn't.My Netflix queue is over 400 movies long.

My DVD queue is like 100. Then they end up on HBO or streaming and I replace them. Maybe 2 a month is enough, although it wouldn't work with recent tv show seasons like Dexter that are 3-4 discs. I never thought of revisiting my plan though. Thanks for prompting me.There hasn't been that many good new movies over the past few months.

I couldn't agree more. Every time I think of a movie that I would like to see, from 20+ years ago mind you, it isn't available 90% of the time.

Its worth it for house of cards though and arrested development.

nope

Really? I just got prime and am finding them very much the same. I'm not liking their interface though, especially with tv shows/seasons. Is there any way to see what's exclusive to each service?

I watched House of Cards via Redbox.
If you're patient, you'll have other options.

for $8 a month and the ability to watch all sorts of stuff nope.

I find Prime to be better for older movies - I've ripped through the entire NetFlix library and came away pretty disappointed.
Agree that Prime interface is not as good - not sure to find out what is exclusive to each, but I'm sure others may know.

I think it is well worth the 9.99 or whatever we pay for it
Good documentaries, good to catch up on past series. (Lost, BB). My wife is hooked on Switched at Birth.
But the thing we enjoy is all the new cheesy horror flics. Some of them are actually pretty good--some really suck.

Movie selection is terrible!! We watched everything we were going to watch... After not using it for almost 6 months, I canceled in the summer... With football now over, maybe I'll come back.

Hulu is good for current TV shows and that's about it. Their movie selection is nonexistent.

thought the whole thing kinda sucked including the tv series. we got bored with it after 6 months or so. its not updated with new material nearly enough. went back to dish, hbo alone blows netflix away.

Recently signed up for my 1-month free Netflix trial and my 1-week free Hulu plus. Decided I'm not keeping Hulu because I see nothing on there that isn't on Netflix. Agree about the movie selection on Netflix - I was disappointed. Right now I'm just plowing through Breaking Bad (never watched before) and then I think I'm hitting Sons of Anarchy. Will re-evaluate after that.

I thought the Criterion Collection was available via Hulu or Hulu +?#pagingBobMaGaw

The selection on Netflix in the US is terrible. The selection on Netflix in the UK, though? ####### AWESOME. So I change the DNS setting on my Apple TV and access Netflix UK whenever there's something I want to watch that's not available in the US. There's a plugin for Google Chrome that'll do the same thing if I want to watch something on my computer.

Is there a way to see the listing of stuff in UK without doing this?
Also how do i do this on Apple TV?

Ditto for iPad app. When I was in Italy I was disappointed my Netflix didn't work at night.

Yeah, they have it. I don't dig old movies though, so that doesn't really do anything for me.

I was originally responding with just streaming in mind. I forgot people still went the physical disc route still.

I don't know why people are so anti-disc now... if there's a movie you want to see, just put it in your queue and it shows up in a day or two. If you have that much time on your hands that you need to watch a new movie/tv show every single night, then maybe you need to find more things to do in your life.

Yeah me too. I use Netflix a bit nefariously though so it's worth it to me to have it and Prime. Prime's interface really sucks as well.

It's not necessarily about having something every night so much as it is that, when you find yourself in the mood for a certain type of movie/show like a comedy, you probably didn't know you'd be in that mood two days ago when you had a documentary about building dams in Patagonia sent to you.OC Zed said:
