Does anyone else have it? I've had it for a year and I love it!

Except...for this really strange moment right now. I rented The Music Man (Robert Preston one) to prepare for this song...and when I took out the DVD, it's "Auntie Mame" instead. What a strange...surprise.

I'd prefer that happening much more than ordering Preston's Music Man and getting Broderick's.

I have and love Netflix! They have a great selection of films that you usually can't find in video stores. The only negative thing about it (which is a fault on my part) is that I have trouble thinking of movies I want to see ahead of time. Sometimes on a free night I'll want to watch a movie on a whim but I won't have ordered it ahead of time (if I just went to a video store, I could have watched it that same night). But I've never had any problems with it like your Music Man/Auntie Mame mix-up!

The friend I'm living w/ for the summer started up w/ Netflix a month or two ago. I like it, though we've certainly slowed down since we first got it. I think we went through 15-20 in the first month, and we're lucky to get through 1 a week. They do have great selections though, and w/ movie rentals being $4-5/DVD it's totally worth it. When I get an apartment after I graduate (assuming roommate(s) is/are ammenable) I think I'd rather just split a subscription to Netflix rather than deal w/ cable (as there's usually VERY little on, and anything worth watching usually ends up on DVD a few months down the road).

I used Netflix for a few years, but have switched to Blockbuster. Also a large selection, but cheaper. If you like art house and foreign films, also check out GreenCine.com.

I did the two-week free trial. Loved it, but don't like that I have to pay every month.

I'd love to be able to pay by rental like Blockbuster. Or pay for the Summer only.

I signed up for Blackbuster online to get my free ipod from freeipods.com. I love it. Right now I have Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Which is AMAZING! I just sent back The Sound of Music and Annie.
Blockbuster also gives you coupons for two free instore rentals each month in case you have a night where you really want to see a certain movie and its not on its way.

Blockbuster now has a warehouse in Chicago, so I'm receiving them about as quickly as Netflix.

There is a blockbuster warehouse about 45 minutes away from where I live so I get my movies about a day after they ship. Its great!
