It is good as long as you don't watch too many movies. If you start cycling through more than 6-7 movies a month they start treating you like crap.
You get put on their "Non-profit" list where they are slower to ship out movies, and you can't get any new releases.
They have a formula for how many movies one account can cycle through per month where Netflix will make money. If you go above that, then forget about seeing anything you really want to see.

Netflix is the only way to go. For $20 a month, you can have 3 movies out at a time. You can keep them as long as you want. I usually drop the movies in the mailbox on Monday and have the new ones by Wednesday.
If you get 3 movies a week, that's about 12 movies a month which adds up to less than $2 a movie, about half what the video store charges.
The selection is fantastic, I think I heard they have over 60,000 movies. You just pick what you want from their very friendly site and they go in your queue.
You can get a 30 day trial for free. Once you try it, you'll never darken the door of a video store again.

It is great. Never have to worry about returning it to the video store. No hassle of lines, not having the movie, weather, traffic...I could go on. I have never had a problem with delays in shipping or anything like that. They are worth the $19.00 per month.
There was a few months in the winter where I watched 3 movies a week totaling about 15 in one month. Never got hassled about it

I think netflix is a good way to rent films right now. However, I believe it will soon be replaced once there are good pay-per-view video libraries available through cable or digital rentals available online.

On a few occasions I've waited 5 days to get a movie. Overall it beats the hell out of a video store. Video stores don't have near the titles Netflix does. You can browse 50,000 movies sitting on your a.s.s., can't beat that.

Netflix is great it will be the death of Blockbuster Video. It is very expensive to rent from Blockbuster, Netflix is much more reasonable.

I like it. I don't have to leave my house to rent movies and I pick the order I want to view my movies.

I love it!
It really depends on you and your viewing habits. They say that you need to watch at least 3 or 4 movies per month to make it worth your while. (from a rental perspective)
but when you consider your time and convience factor (to me at least) it's worth much more than that.
do it if you like movies

They have more movies and you're more likely to get the new releases (it seems like they're always out when I go to the video store) but they're slower at shipping.

I heard they're slow at getting movies to you - never tried them though; love your avatar!!!...Anyway, it's a better bet not committing to anything where you'll only have choices based off of their selections and go to Blockbuster on a time to time basis...Hope this Helps!!!
