It's funny..I signed up for it and was pretty diligent at keeping that que full. Now, we are so busy with cheer and football season that we don't have time for movies!

Which do you think is better....blockbuster or netflix

Have a good one L!

I am having better success with netflix, faster receipt both ways - dvds in better condition etc. and now they just lowered their price to 16.99. they do offer a couple free movies a month free to watch on your computer, but with my dialup I can not take advantage of it.

blockbuster offered free coupons for 2 movies at the store each month - but there is no store near enough to us (50miles each way) so we did not take advantage of that either.

My Netflix queue is a very long list of movies and shows. I have all of the newest releases in my list, including new releases from the past few weeks (as we are a bit behind), and just about all of the movies that will be released in the coming month. I also have movies in the "saved" portion of my queue. These movies have not yet been released, and only the release date has been announced (Netflix doesn't even acknowledge the date yet).

I have older movies in my queue as well. I have some classic Sci-Fi movies that my boyfriend has been waiting to see, or to see again. I also have some movies that I have created TiVo wishlists for, but they have yet to air on the movie channels, and I have lost my patience waiting for them.

Then, I have various Broadway specials that I am only interested in watching once and don't want to buy to see them. Tony Awards specials, Stephen Sondheim tributes, that sort of thing.

Are you looking for ideas? Do you need a resource for newly released movies? If so, check myvideostore.com. I like the layout of the new releases much better there than anywhere else. Don't enter your zip code - just click on the link for "Just take me to myvideostore.com" and check out the weekly or monthly lists. I update my Netflix queue once a month, and I have two windows open: netflix.com and myvideostore.com.

thank you for the useful information.

I have mostly older movies in my queue, but a few newer releases to mix things up now and again. I have also been getting some of the older tv series for the kids.

lately I watched David Copperfield, Martin Chuzzelwits, Little Shop of Horrors (for dh) and a Miss Marple mystery.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Modestah (7413)   ranked 885 out of 26,320 in life  1 year ago

tonight we watched an old "scifi" Fahrenheit 451 (I think that was the number anyhow)


myLot reputation of 96/100. Hmmmmm (1518)   ranked 147 out of 26,320 in life  5 months ago

Hey, thanks for best response!

We canceled Netflix! We found that with three TiVos and all of the movie channels, we weren't watching the rentals as often as we needed to make up for the monthly charge (we would go months, holding on to the same three movies). Now we do Amazon Unbox (a TiVo/Amazon partnership). It's usually cheaper than the cable company's movies on demand. Of course, the selection isn't nearly as good, but if all we watch are new releases, they have all of those. Plus, no "LONG WAIT" in the queue!

Sorry, I don't use Blockbuster or Netflix. My son buys most of the real popular movies as they come out so I can borrow them. And I have a DVR so I record many programs and movies that we like. It keeps us busy just keeping up with them.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Modestah (7413)   ranked 885 out of 26,320 in life  1 year ago

yeah, we don't get any television reception, I reckon if I had satellite I would not be renting movies either!

Right now, my queue is empty and I welcome any suggestions to add now. My interests are varied; however, really enjoy comedies. I try to watch a couple of movies each week, but have 5 movies sitting here right now unwatched.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Fishmomma (3282)   ranked 68 out of 26,320 in life  1 year ago

Sorry hit send before stating I use Blockbuster. I get a free movie each time we return the movie to the store. We have been receiving the movie the next day after ordering it.

My fiance and I have an account with Netflix. I had never even heard of the service until he came along. OK I'd heard it mentioned before, but I never didn't look that closely at it, it was just another advertizement for me to ignore.

I have Netflix. I think I have about 60 movies in my queue, so i'm not going to list them all. Some I do have are: The Office Season 2, The Girl in the Cafe, Harold and Maude, Hot Fuzz and The Illusionist.

Hi Modestah, I don't have blockbuster or netflix. I usually watch television programme or borrow DVD from the library. As long as the movies is a chinese comedy from Hong Kong or Singapore, I will go for it. Miss chinese movies.

I have about had it with netflix! I have had things on the wait for months before they were released and as soon the were available moved them to the top of the queue and months later still haven't received them. It is ridiculous to add a movie to your queue before it hits theaters and then still have to wait 90 days or more. If they don't hurry up and get these too me, I am going to drop it for several months until I know I can get them. I will say though if you complain to them they do give you 2 months of 50% off, however that is small compensation when you go 200 movies in between things it tells you are long wait because they didn't bother to buy enough copies .


myLot reputation of 85/100. Modestah (7413)   ranked 885 out of 26,320 in life  5 months ago

I have a couple things in wait, but I guess I do not notice so much because most of my movie preferences are oldies.
