Please shut up and never post again.
Geez. This was uncalled for IMO.

One thing I wish they did have was a sort of video on demand feature. Like where I could pay $1 or more to stream a new movie rather than wait for the DVD in the mail.
Try amazon.
The only reason the studios allow their movies on the monthly plan now, is because they make more money than they did on the dvd-by-mail rentals, and more than they think they can make a la carte.
All the studios care about is money. If they thought they could get the Netflix audience to pay $5 per movie rental, there wouldn't be anything at all available on Netflix. Obviously most don't think they can.
I'm sure everyone in here is OT-rich and spending $3-5 every other day to watch a movie is nothing. But new studio movies are utter shite, and far better stuff is available on Netflix.

I use Graboid and download movies that are new at the theaters all the time. It's 14.00 a month.
The are bootleg of course. Not the best quality.
Months ago Netflix went up on me to 19.00 a month and I dropped them like it was hot.
They have been sending me emails to come back for 7.00 a month. I might think about it.

I loved netflix for about a year but im getting pretty low on good titles. I enjoy many different genres so its not like i am only in it for one type of show.
I just wish they would update their selection more often. There are some good classic movies and lesser known gems in there, but those can only hold me over for so long. Ive seen most of the older "classics" and the majority of the good tv shows, and documentaries.
Im sure there are a lot more i would enjoy to watch but having to look for hours for something isn't that appealing to me when i can torrent it in the same amount of time. Still.. for 7 dollars. why not?

They carry decade+ old TV shows along with all the new popular shows, I have plenty material to watch before I could ever complain about the selection.
Their foreign films section isn't bad either.

Here are some that I enjoyed:
Powder Blue (2009) Jessica Biel, Ray Liotta, Eddie Redmayne, Forest Whitaker
My Name is Nobody (1974) That’s right the old Terrance Hill/Henry Fonda Spaghetti Western.
Coastlines (2002) Timothy Olyphant and Josh Brolin star in this crime drama.
50 Dead Men Walking-true story that was set during the conflict that went in Northern Ireland. Ben Kingly, Jim Sturgess & Rose McGowan. Kingly at his very best. You will find yourself pulling for Sturgess' character. The IRA figures in this movie make the ones in Sons of Anarchy look tame.
Holy Rollers-don't let the name fool you. It is not a comedy. Young cast includes Jessee Eisenberg, and Justin Bartha. It is the story of a young Hasidic Jew who smuggles drugs. You see him grow up while enjoying the spoils and enduring the pitfalls of his professin.
The Train-WWII version of Emperor of the North. It is Burt Lancaster fighting Nazis to keep a train full of paintings in France at the end of the war.
[b]Clay Pigeons-A young, innocent looking Joaquin Phoenix having sex with every good looking girl in a one horse town. It's a murder mystery with Janeane Garofalo playing the investigating FBI agent. Vince Vaughn in a very believable cowboy role. Good if you haven't seen it in a while.
Deceiver-Tim Roth being interrogated after the murder of a prostitute by a cop partnership consisting of Chris Penn and Michael Rooker. Roth is taking a polygraph though most of this movie. It definitely has a twisty plot.
Vice-Dity cop movie that has you wondering "Who is the dirtiest". Michal Madsen, Daryl Hannah & Myketti Willamson. Hannah must have bee told she'd win an Oscar to dress up and play this non-glamorous role.
Who'll Stop the Rain-Good ole hippie, drug movie starring Nick Nolte, Tuesday Weld & Michael Moriarty. Great soundtrack pays while Nolte pegs the anti-hero role of his lifetime.
Iowa-Small town couple decides to cook meth to make enough money to get out of Hooterville. Plenty of partying and sex in this one. Staring Matt Farnsworth, Diane Foster and Rosanna Arquette playing Farnsworth’s mom.
Quid Pro Quo-Nick Stahl as a paraplegic public radio announcer who is trying to cover a story aabut "wannabe paraplegics". Not all of these wbp's are into it for sexual reasons but some seem to be. Weird one that can cause some discomfort, even if you are watching it by yourself.
The Union: The Business Behind Getting High-A documentary that reveals pot as the top export for the Province of British Columbia. The production of marijuana in this area is so well known the product has been nicknamed “BC Bud”. Eighty percent of the $7 billion worth of pot grown in Canada is exported into the United States. The film maker interviews law enforcement officials, physicians, college professors, politicians, economists, pot growers, pot brokers, pot smugglers in a film that shows why its maker believes cannabis should be legalized. The medical people interviewed in the film express their belief that cannabis has never caused the death of a single human being while tobacco has killed millions. Law enforcement officials give evidence that shows how nearly all of the money being spent by the U.S. government, state and local authorities is being used to slow down the flow of marijuana, not harder, more dangerous drugs. The same law enforcement officials tell us most of the criminals in our prisons are also marijuana related crimes. If you think pot should be legalized already, your feelings for legalization will be stronger. If you watch it and don’t at least wonder if the legalization of pot might be a good thing, you just have your head in the sand.
Michael Collins-True story of the man who was both the Director of Intelligence and the Minister for Finance for the IRA. Liam Neeson, plays Collins. Aidan Quinn plays his second in command and Alan Rickman plays the future leader of Ireland they both are devoted to. Rickman is really good at being a very unlikable politician who manipulates his countrymen. Neeson makes all the hard wartime decisions, sends many to their deaths and battles Quinn for Julia Roberts. Who wins the war? Who runs the country? Who gets the girl?
Syriana-George Clooney as a CIA operative crossing paths in the Middle East with a young commodities trader, Matt Damon, sounds like something that might happen in a pretty good movie. Not really in this one though. The naïve character Damon plays is really there by chance. Because he is helping a young Sheik with some investments, he gets right in the middle of a hornets nest of intrigue. The movie includes U.S. involvement with the naming of a monarch to keep U.S. companies feeding from the Oil trough that is The Middle East. Double crosses by politicians, oil executives and clandestine operatives happen in layers to the point of the viewer needing to rewind or re-watch again. This movie has too many subplots to keep up with. I’ve been told that it helps to watch it a second time by people that love it. It may take some time for me to get my head around that advice.
Suspect Zero-Two FBI agents played by Aaron Eckhart and Carrie-Anne Moss are on the hunt for a serial killer. Eckhart’s character figures out the mobile killer they are searching for has been killing people for years all over the country. Ben Kingsley is a suspect that they investigate and eventually catch up with. Who is the killer? Why are both children and adults being killed? What do Eckhart’s and Kingsley’s characters have in common? Pretty good crime drama with good actors in pretty good roles.
Sorry for not being able to give links to them all. Some may not still be available.
