Netflix Review

Netflix is great for a multitude of reasons. For one thing the selection is many times greater than your old local video store, with over 65,000 titles you can see any documentary, foreign film, classic movie that you can imagine not just the latest blockbusters and whatever else your store happens to carry. This is a huge improvement. I have really enjoyed the documentaries I've been renting from netflix along with instructional videos. Netflix has videos to instruct people on everything from learning the guitar to guided yoga and other exercise. Pretty much anything that you can imagine being on DVD, Netflix has it.

Including Television programs. I've been able to watch every episode for shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm that I haven't been able to see previously because I don't have cable. I was finally able to watch all the episodes from Twin Peaks. I was too young to really be into it when it first came out. The TV shows are a great feature of Netflix because those TV boxsets are so expensive to buy.

Of course there are also movies galore to choose from. Tonight for example I am watching the original Willy Wonka movie. Something that may or may not be at your local video store is definitly available at Netflix.

Netflix is not that expensive. I get three DVD's out at a time for only $17.99/month. That's with unlimited rentals so I could easily view 10 or 11 different DVD's in a month. I don't usually, I don't have time to watch that many DVD's. And if you want to go the cheaper route you can. You can get a one at a time (only two for the month) account for only $5.99/month if you love the idea of the great selection but don't have much time to watch movies. It'll still be cheaper per rental than your local store.
