kenratboy Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 For years, I have been wanting a kick home theater, with the new receiver and speakers, it is going to be ready (well, the audio!) in about a week. To take a step back, I love movies, but have not seen as many as I would like (basically, I need to see all the 'big' movies from the last 30 years), so I am going to sign up for NetFlix and start watching. I don't want to buy zillions of DVD's I am going to watch once, so this will work well. For the price of one DVD, I can watch 6, 9, 12+ a month. Not very exciting, but maybe you know where I am coming from. I have spent a LOT of money in the last 2 weeks (speakers and receiver), so this should hold me over for a bit.

edwinr Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I've been getting lots of classic movies out lately. Particularly westerns and war movies. They've got a real style about them that lots of modern movies can't match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Netflix is great when you get a "hankerin" to watch particular style of movies. A few months ago, I rented all the Stanley Kubric movies in a row. Also David Lynch, Terry Gilliam etc. etc. NFlix also do a good job of recomendations based on how you rate your movies. I have found some real GEM's that I would never have thought of renting. Enjoy!!! JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there for YEARS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a total of one movie, and that one was a gift. Once I've seen them that's pretty much it. Sometimes I get a hankering to see something again a few years later but I can always rent it and still save money and space over buying it. Now concert DVD's are a different story, I love them and will watch them over and over. Enjoy your new HT! And get your moneys worth.

Just thinking on my feet, I told her, "This stuff will last 15 years, EASY, that is about $100 a year. You tell me you love music and you listen for at least a few hours a day. Pretty good value if you ask me!" Sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picky Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Ken: I can't tell you just how thrilled I am for you that your grand plan is finally coming to fruition. It wasn't until I was several years older than you when my first good system came together, so you are way ahead of where I was. Enjoy it my friend and if you take good care of it, it will last you for years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that we can all agree that the endless pursuit of high fidelity is probably going to be a named disease one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
