Anyone else notice Netflix has upped their game lately?

No, they still don't have the newest, "best" summer blockbusters and award winners. But, lately, I've been happy with the movies they've been adding. Add in their original content and tons of great TV episodes and it's almost a must, now.
Recent movies: Silver Linings Playbook, Varsity Blues, Roman Holiday, D3: Might Ducks, Roger Rabbit, Swiss Family Robinson, Hercules (Disney; and they've had this for a while)

Up vote for letting me know about silver linings playbook. I haven't seen it yet.

FYI, I had to search for it.

Swiss Family Robinson added as we speak.

Upped their game? So, basically, they added old movies that you like?
People that bitch about netflix (redbox new releasers), would not consider this upping their game.

Unfortunately I don't really like any of those. I wish it had a better search feature on 360, seems like a lot just get repeated in the genre scroll.
Never really know what is new or existing in obscurity somewhere.

It has gotten better, no doubt.

I didn't really enjoy silver lining playbook

Read the book?

Netflix has always had a solid selection.

Slp stressed me out

No. It just means, that they added some old movies that you have feelings of nostalgia for. Doesn't mean the lineup offerings have gotten significantly better (or worse). I wouldn't have been surprised if any of those movies were on Netflix. All right in their sweet spot, except for Silver Linings, but Netflix usually has a handful of recent movies that were good.
All that to say, they have always carried old good movies (Roman Holiday), cult classics (Roger Rabbit), bottom of the series barrel (D3), and solid family movies.
The only difference is, the recent additions appeal to you. But someone who does not like netflix, is not likely to be persuaded by that lineup you posted.

No. Not really my type of book though.

They don't need to up their game. When I look at how much I used to spend on monthly video rentals plus late fees, I feel like netflix is a steal.

I need to watch it. I know it gets bashed by the mental health groups, but I want to see it for myself.

It wasn't so bad. Was from his point of a view and not nearly as "chick flick". Much better than the movie, IMO.
