I don't know how many people are Netflix members but anyone interested in being my Netflix friend can send me a PM and I'll send you my e-mail address. :)
Peace...

Netflix "friend" ?
I just rent movies there... Hmmm... That sounds a bit complicated.
What if you can't head over here to watch the movie? Vice versa?
Could that end the friendship? So many variables..
What about Netflix 'penpals' ?
:D
(..just kidding..)

I joined NetFlix for a while. Couldn't ever get the movies I wanted.

I'm also on the lookout for more friends. I've got 2 from AC, thus far. :)

If you explain NetFlix and the "friends" thing, maybe more here will join NetFlix..
I still need to see what the "friends" thing means...

If you go to your main netflix page there is a tab at the top that says "friends". You can add people and it just allows you to see their rental queue, what ratings they gave movies, that sort of thing. I think its just a neat way to check out movies that I may not have found myself.

What Holly said. :) Plus, you can see the kinds of movies you rated similarly to your friends as well as which ones you rated in opposition. For example, Holly really liked The Aviator but I didn't like it. Plus, you can easily make recommendations of movies to your friends. I've got 16 friends in total, 2 of whom are from AC. :)
If you're already a Netflix subscriber, click the "Friends" tab and read all about it.
Peace...
I keep trying to talk my husband into joining, but he's all for going to the movie store and renting. *Sigh*
We don't rent that often anyway, so maybe we're saving money.

I can definitely understand that. The thing is, Netflix might have a larger selection of obscure titles you and hubby might be interested in that your local video store doesn't carry. I don't know if you're into foreign films, but Netflix has a vast selection in a number of different languages, as an example. :)

I just like being able to have movies around that I want to watch, without having to go to the store.
Sorry--I'm not on Netflix, but use a similar program. It's just more convenient, especially if you don't live close to town.
