Inspired by Greenhils post in Tangrams other thread.

I know a fair number of people are using netflix (including me).

I've not watched that much though - a couple of films that I can't remember the names of and some UK TV. I know I've watched all the mitchell & webb looks, the triffids, and hitch hikers. However I haven't used it for a few months now and so am toying with the idea of cancelling it.

So what have people watched that's decent recently?

Exam
Brick
Blue Planet
Red Dwarf
Coupling
Tremors
The Experiment
Cargo
Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Epic Series (yes, the original)
Farscape
Appaloosa
Aliens
Resident Evil
Vertigo
Planet of the Apes
The Fly
The Thing
Secretary
Cruel Intentions
The Last of the Mohicans
Philadelphia
Monster's Ball
Patton
Das Boot
Taken

Once you finish that homework, come back and I'll give you more

I'm finishing up the whole four seasons of Prison Break. It's patchy after the first couple of seasons but quite addictive. I like that they have the whole thing.

Ip Man 2
Lemmy : fantastic tribute to the Motorhead/Hawkwind amphetamine and Jack Daniels fuelled OAP
Top Gear : working my way through them from series 2 onward
This is England : Not seen it? Watch it!
Life on Mars : We've watched the first couple of episodes - so far so good

Are you with Shaw or Telus?

So are you going to pay the hefty increase coming up in subscription?

Dunno. Depends what 'hefty' means. If it goes to $10 then maybe if I get some use out of it. $20 probably not.

(to answer Steve_P above - I'm with shaw)

I thought the hefty increase was only going to apply in the USA where they also offer the DVD on demand mail service. I think this is what they are charging more for.

Next nosey question which internet package do you have?

They've just recently changed all their internet packages.

I have Extreme Internet and they've just increased the speed to approximately 25Mbps and increased the download limit to 250GB per month.

Or for about $10 more you can go with the new Broadband 50 plan which gives you 50Mbps download speed and a download limit of 400GB per month.

rescue me is good.....

some good foreign flicks......sin nomber was not bad, the door, and quite a few others, Layer Cake, in Bruges,

we typically watch it once or twice a week which make is good value. I am finding though that we are running out of choices.

MadMen &
Dexter

That's only for the US, and only if you want both DVD and Streaming. Heard nothing about a Canadian price increase, though I'd pay a fair bit more than I'm paying them right now for the service.

A friend recently posted a question on facebook about netflix, wondering if she'd exceed her monthly download limit if she started to use it.
My answer was that I'd be amazed if she could find enough stuff that she'd actually want to watch to get anywhere close to any reasonable download limit.

We've had the free trial versions on a couple of times, and even being free, it was crap.

I don' think its the hefty increases we need to worry about, altho they are not going up much, its the internet capping that they are trying to enforce cos Bell are a load of moaning P****s....25 gig a month wont last most people very long!!
