How many movies do you currently have in your Netflix queue and what type of movies dominate your queue?

I've got about 150 movies in my queue and foreign movies dominate my queue.

I try to keep mine at right around 100. It's mainly split between 2/3 films for me and 1/3 Disney stuff for the kids (I adore the collections of old Disney shorts you can get, so everybody wins) with a tv series or two thrown in and whenever my wife says she wants to see something, it automatically gets sent to the #1 spot.

There are 15 right now in the physical queue, we use that for Blu-ray only. Categories are action/adventure, drama, thrillers, foreign, sci-fi, horror, and comedy in roughly equal proportions. The instant queue has 30 titles on it right now, basically the same categories although it also includes more TV series and independent flims. I LOVE the instant watching feature. There are so many titles that I really enjoyed that I never would have seen without it.

About 35 in the regular queue, and 7-8 in the Save queue.
I used to have more, but want to keep it manageable.
I have not taken much to the Instant feature, dunno why because I have a nice monitor. I guess I just prefer a different environment for watching films.

I didn't like it much on my laptop, but I highly recommend getting a streaming device for your tv. I bet I use my Playstation 3 as much for watching Netflix instant streaming as I do on video games.

Yes--we are already in discussions about this.
It wouldn't even cost that much, would it?

I don't watch them on the monitor. Our Blu-ray player is Netflix compatible so we can easily watch the instant content on the big TV. I am very glad that the player had this feature, it has really made the device far more useful for us than if it only played discs.

I have about 250 in my DVD queue and about 80 in my Instant Watch queue so I have 330 overall.

Yikes!

We always have <10. We only watch 1 per week or so, so anything more than that is overkill. I couldn't find 150 movies I wanted to watch if my life depended on it!

It depends on what all you're looking for in a device. The roku players that Netflix pushes are right around $100. Blu Ray players with Netflix capability are around $150. My PS3 was $300 (which is also a blu ray player). Just do your homework and then sit back and enjoy the greatness that is streaming to your tv.
