How many movies do you have in your Netflix queue?

None. I go after them on a whim by whim basis.

Sometimes I get onto Netflix, buzz through the lists, shake my head in dispair and turn off the TV completely, then go get a book. sometimes I just go to bed

What is Netflix?

I am so 20th century. I do not have netflix.

I have about 70; used to be about 160 but I don’t add or view as often now. As long as you’re viewing and adding, why worry about getting through the list?

That’s the problem. Netflix has so few of the (somewhat older) films that I want to see, I don’t have much of a list. Not because I don’t like movies – but because they don’t have them in the first place.

@elbanditoroso Streaming or discs? I’ve gotten a number of the classics on DVD.

streaming.

Keep in mind that Netflix only has agreements from the studios that allow them to offer a movie for a limited time. You won’t know when movies have become unavailable. They’ll just fall out of your queue. This happened to me a few times.

Netflix is an online movie service in the US (though I think a handful of other countries have it, to some degree, now as well). They basically have two types of membership. One allows the renting of DVD discs that are sent to the user via the postal service. The other allows instant streaming of movies to your computer, tablet, TV or whatever device capably of streaming content. The streaming service is, as I said, instant, but the selection of content is more limited as they have to license each movie/show from the rights holder and many of these media companies are still stuck in the previous century. The DVD service, while slower, has just about anything that’s available on DVD.

In recent years Netflix has also began creating their own original content for their service with shows like ‘House of Cards’, ‘Orange Is the New Black’ and ‘Marco Polo’.

None, my movies queue up elswhere in an orderly fashion & free too, well, kinda.

I pay for netflix but never use it since I have a better method of watching things. But my queue isn’t pretty.

I just looked for a couple of old favorite movies that Netflix doesn’t have. Interestingly, I found them – full length, uncut, decent quality – on YouTube. So I downloaded, took 15 minutes

Now, the movies were probably uploaded illegally, but – that’s not really my problem

@elbanditoroso Well, this is a side issue and not within the scope of this question but ethically it sort of is your problem like buying stolen goods.

“Believe in better”

Can I get that on my vcr?

@janbb

When you steal goods somebody is deprived of property. When you watch a movie on YouTube nobody is deprived of anything.

@Darth_Algar I’m not going to go back and forth on this and this isn’t a question about it but when someone downloads a bootlegged copy of a movie, the filmmakers are being deprived of money. It’s their intellectual property.

@janbb

That assumes that the person watching would have paid for the movie had the free option not been available to them. This is not necessarily so. The entertainment industry has always fought any kind of technological change, using fallacious arguments and claiming that said change would kill their business. When motion pictures came along they were going to kill live theater. When radio came along they said it would destroy touring musicians careers (because who would pay to watch musicians perform when you can just listen to them on the radio). When records came along they claimed it would destroy radio. When VCRs came along it was going to destroy the film business. When cassette tapes came along home taping was going to kill the music business. And so on and so on…

I have 119 in mine. :D
