I'm so impressed with Netflix's Classic Film catalog

[terrya]

I just added 20 classic films to my queue. :-)

Netflix does have an impressive catalog. And they seem to update it weekly.

1. I've noticed that, too.

And some of them you can view online without having to wait for the DVD in the mail. We've been watching some British TV series but eventually, I'm going to add some to my queue that don't have to appeal to both my husband and me. ;)

2. I'm a very happy Netflix customer

I've been concentrating on TV series so far, but I now have a queue of over 300 disks, many of them obscure foreign films.

3. We have Quickflix here, which hasn't been going very long.

I do hope it will build on its library of classics, because at the moment
it's not terribly strong.

Of course we have a much smaller market than the U.S., but even so,
Quickflix (a division of Blockbuster) is supposed to cater for those who
want films that are away from the latest mainstream films, but while you
can get all the latest films of whatever genre, it's rather hard to find
anything much in the true classic lineup, although they do have a
reasonable selection of European films.

Currently I have 25 films on my list, and I'm hard put to add to it.
Still, I have been able to watch some old favourites that are no longer
available elsewhere, and also catch up on some recent releases that came
and went so quickly that I didn't get to see them when they screened
originally.

I'm still making a list of DVDs to order from Amazon though - films that
have never been released here on DVD and probably never will be. It's
my best hope of seeing some of my great favourites again.
