so many movies, so little time...

I *love* Netflix! But funnily enough - I've never had my own account! Matt had one, and then Rick had one... so up until now, I just rented DVD's vicariously through their Queue's.

But, recently I saw Netflix's free trial offer and thought, well at least I could get some movies for a few weeks for free! But of course as soon as I started clicking around, and adding more and more to my queue, I soon realized I absolutely MUST have my own membership. :)

Netflix makes it really easy to accomplish the mission to (read in booming announcer voice) "See All The Movies You Have Ever Wanted To See!", and even has messages at the top of every page rooting you on with "Keep Going!" "Add More, you're doing great!", etc. (I'm paraphrasing, but if you have a membership, you know what I'm talking about. :) Their site really is quite brilliant... kinda like Amazon with it's smarty "if you like this, you'll love this" engine.

So after signing up earlier in the week, and making sure I had everything on there I'd had in my immediate want list, I emailed Rick to have him send me a snapshot of his Q, since a lot of my wants were on there. And now, I've got more movies than I think I'll be able to get through in like 2 years!! Which honestly, excites me greatly. hahaha

Here I thought I was going to do the 2 movies at a time/4 a month plan - since I hardly watch TV/movies as it is... but now I'm feeling like I might try to tackle getting through a lot of these and just got for it w/ the unlimited plan. There's so many great movies out there! Well, and let me add there's so many bad movies that you just can't help but watch. :) Which might be a nice disclaimer for this link: A peek into my Netflix Queue.

I've even added a few more after I exported that tonite! hahaa Also, I have yet to rearrange them now that I've added so many new ones tonite - but I'm really excited to catch up on a lot of these movies I missed in the theaters, some I loved and want to see again, thought-provoking documentaries and spooky thrillers!

I'm even going to start inviting over friends for movie nights w/ popcorn! yay!! Especially for the scary ones because I'm a total baby about scary movies. As you can see I hardly have very many on there as it is, because with my active imagination it doesn't take much for me to be lying awake in bed freaking out all night! Yup, I will definitely need someone else here for those! :)

p.s. If you have a Netflix account, and you're logged in - you can go to any of the movie's linked on my Q page & add it to your Q, too!

p.s.s. If you're a mac user - get Netflix Freak!
