Great thread!! Am turning into a Netflix junkie myself
I have also found many great, free movies on HULU. One by the title of "Ink" is well worth watching. It's a low-budget, well made film about how we choose to be both in life and death.
Some of my Netflix faves:
The Tudors - Must see Showtime series about Henry VIII and his reign as king
Whale Wars - Original founder of Green Peace has his own organization. It's about there battle against the Japanese whaling industry
Weeds - Definitely a good time killer
Off to read through the thread...lots of folks have made lots of recommendations and I need to get a list going!
