what exactly/or how does netflix work??

Netflix and Blockbuster do basically the same thing. You pay a monthly fee, get I think up to 3 movies at a time, keep them as long as you want when you return one they send you the next movie on a list that you have made of movies that you want to see. So you can really see alot or a little amount of movies in a month,just depends on how much time you have to watch. We have the blockbuster service and they send us 2 coupons a month for free rentals in the store too.

oh..ok is it better than going to the store to rent the movie?? Do they send you a return paid envelope or do you need to buy one??

They send you a paid envelope to return it in. Ican't remember the exact pricing but If you are going to watch more than 3 movies a month I think that makes it worth your while. dh got it all set up and of course I half listened to him and just said "yeah sure sounds like a good idea. Leave me alone I'm on CC!" lol

we watch so many movies we do the in store blockbuster where you pay a monthly then you go in and rent as many times as you want in the month two at a time. we have rented up to 8 movies a day. it is faster than the mailing thing.

by the way i love every movie mentioned but my all time favorites are
Back to the Future and
Grease

All time 3 (i can never decide)

Wizard of Oz
Grease
Mary Poppins

However I also like any chick flick (as long as it turns out happy-there are a few that don't-they don't know much about a chick flick!)
Pirates of the Carabean is one i can watch about any day
Shrek is one I could watch everyday.
There are quite a few more, but I think everyone else covered those.

Can you tell we watch a lot of movies too (we don't have our TV hooked up to anything but the DVD player) We do the blockbuster online and I figured in the first we we did it (on the 3 movies at a time plan) We saved over 300 dollars between getting them everyweek delivered to the house and the store rental coupons. if you watch a lot of movies I highly recommend it. We actually caught up on all the movies we wanted to see and started renting the TV series through Blockbuster online.
