I agree with Dexter. They are going to take it off I believe too so watch it while you can. Fantastic show! A bit gory too, as a warning.

Easy A is a really good movie, Teeth is an interesting movie too but "good" might be pushing it. Might as well watch it since it's "free" to you.

I've been working on watching 3rd Rock from the Sun - Great show. Also working on Samantha Who? w/ Cristina Applegate.

I thought Curious George 2 was a fantastic movie.
The Bounty Hunter w/ Jennifer Aniston was worth watching.
Red Dwarf has long been a favorite show of mine!
Chaos Theory with Ryan Reynold was pretty good.
I found Hot Tub Time machine to be... interesting. Funny.
70's show is a fav. of mine.
Groundhog Day is a classic good movie.
Kick-ass is a must watch!!!!
The People I've Slept With was a very good movie.
Bicentennial Man is good imo.
Toy Story 3 is AMAZING
Mr. Bean is an old fav. of mine.
Up, Zombieland, The Karate Kid (new one) - All great.
Dumb and Dumber - Classic.
Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Very good.
Practical Magic, Robin Hood: Men in Tights (fantastic classic), Cable Guy, Monk, Penn & Teller: Bulls***, Sex Monster, Hounddog, Family Guy, South Park, Futurama...

I could name a few more if you'd like.. haha

Another recommendation from me: OSS 117. It's a collection of several French spy/crime movies with a comedic element- kinda Bond meets adult pink panther.
Sounds like my kind of viewing. Going to add it right now.

I forgot to mention 'Lost'! We didn't watch it when it originally aired, and I've *loved* being able to see it on Netflix. It would have driven me crazy to wait a week between episodes... or wait over the season break! One negative: Netflix pulled the season we were watching, and it wasn't available on streaming for several weeks. Now, they have all the seasons together. We're almost done - 10 more episodes! - so we sure hope they don't yank it again. What a compelling show!

Thanks for the heads-up about OSS 117! That looks like another one we can all watch together! (me, an 18-year-old, and 12-year-old).

It all depends what you like.

I'm planning on getting into the Carlos mini-series.

Just finished Downton Abbey and loved it.

Netflix isnt streaming this yet?

While I recently set up netflix streaming to my TV I am a little disappointed in the selection. While it is large it doesn't seem to have a lot of the stuff I actually want. It's a good idea, but they need to get more quality stuff available in streaming.

Try watching some of those obscure movies you've never heard of. I've been surprised by how many of them I actually liked. One day I couldn't find anything to watch so I watched Ahh Zombies! and found it to be quite entertaining.
