Does anyone use Netflix?

I have several friends that love it, and I love the idea of not buying every movie I only want to see maybe just once. I can't bear movie rental stores anymore because of the rude loser brain dead people that work in most of them. (There is my pet peeve- most of these employees nedd to crawl back to their parent's basement!).

Anyway- good experiences? Bad experiences? Is it as easy as it sounds?

Both my kiddos use Netflix and LOVE it! I have spent the last 6 months trying to get them to transfer their charges off my credit card. They both use debit cards and TRY to tell me Netflix won't take them! My daughter is really into documentaries and tells me the list is endless!
 
I just recently starting using Netflix and I love it. You get your movies in the mail, you watch them when you want too, you put them back in the mail and they send you more!!! It is great. No standing in line at the video store, no late fees, and take as long as you want to watch them!!! I would recommend it!
 
We use Netflix. Never had a problem and the turn around on new movies is really quick.
 
We just signed up with Blockbuster.com. Got our first movies yesterday. So far so good. We picked them because the give you 2 free "in-store" rentals a month. I'll keep you posted.
 
I did a 3 mo trial with Netflix and thought it was great. I really like they system they use for selecting movies. ie- other people who rented this movie also rented.... Also, if you like a particular director, writer, or actor, you can see all movies featuring that person. Really cool. I did not continue the service because I just don't watch that many movies, but the turnaround time was great, and it would beat paying for some movie channels.
 
I hear netflix users are sending dvds to their friends to view before they are ultimately mailed back. Sounds like a good idea.
 
We signed up with NetFlix about a month ago and really like it. Our small town video shop often has the best films rented by the time we get there. Also, we don't always feel like watching a movie or paying late charges. But the best thing is the choice one has and how the movies are categorized. There are instant reviews, along with reviews by key critics. We like foreign films and documentaries best and NetFlix has hands down the best selection I have ever seen. The movies arrive very quickly after you select them. NetFlix offers a free trial period if you want to see if they are right for you.

Does anyone know if these services will ship the movies to us when we are at the beach, but under the existing account? We have movie channels at our house because the video stores seem to offer predominantly shoot-em'-up blockbusters and we have to drive to Seagrove to get a movie or return it. NetFlix would be great down there if we could just change the mailing address for limited periods of time.

Yep, you can, because you can keep them for as long as you want. It is a good deal!!!
