Movies We've Watching

Netflix rocks.  It's running one of the most efficient shipping operations that I've ever seen.  We cycle through a lot of DVD's.  We've got the "3 at a time" plan.  By my calculations, we pay about $1.06 per disk rented.  They can't be making much money on us.  Ah well.

Here's what we've got at the moment.
