frustratedpilotHey.
Netflix sent me a free teaser subscription. I probably won't get to use it because in this household, the day-to-day habits don't allow much in the way of time to watch movies.
Anyway, with the subscription, Netflix sent a list of their Top 200 movies. Of these 200, I have actually seen:
* Catch Me If You Can
* Chicago
* the two Harry Potter movies there (Azkaban and Goblet of Fire)
* Lemony Snicket
* Meet the Fockers (which I hated)
* Pirates of the Caribbean 1
* Spider-Man 2
* The Aviator
* The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
And that's it. Unless you count earlier versions of current remakes (Ocean's Eleven, King Kong, Italian Job, War of the Worlds, Pink Panther, The Chocolate Factory). Only 10 out of 200. Should I take it that I fail because I'm too cheap to go see them or get cable/sat TV, or because Hollywood doesn't appeal to my tastes like it used to? I guess both are true.
