Ok, I’m Netflix's bitch

I've had my own Netflix account for over a year now. There are a lot of newer movies I would like to see, not enough that I was willing to pay for them in the theatre. But I would still really like to see them. Honestly, I don't remember most of them when I’m in front of a terminal to remember them.

So, please suggest to me 1-3 movies from the last 1 1/2 years that you really think I need to see. Doesn't matter the genre, I love all kinds of movies. And yes, I do enjoy sappy girl movies.

I second R4AD and Pi. Well... only if you're into total mindfuck movies. Ghost in the Shell 2 was another great mindfuck. Granted, I don't see many movies. The only way I watch movies is it I'm being dragged with by my tail.

DH: you've never had problems with Netflix? My folks used to order from them until they got a disc that came broken in the mail due to the combination of the postal service's poor handling of stuff, and the fact that Netflix doesn't guard their discs against damage at all.

I love mindfuck movies.

I was wrong, i've had Netflix for over a year and a half. Posi has had his own for at least 3 years, maybe longer. He became a member before most people knew what netflix was. And no, i've never (nor Posi) had that problem. I think we have each, once, had a scatched disk we had to send back. But that's it. never got a shattered disk, or broken in any way other then excessive watching or mishandling of others who were renting it.

but they don't hold you liable either. You report up to 3 or 4 disks just.. completely lost and they won't blink an eye
