With Netflix Plummeting, Where Do You Get Your Movies?

When I could afford it I did Green Cine for obscure films along with Netflix but had to drop the former when I couldn't afford it. I've cut back my Netflix plan to 1 DVD+unlimited streaming, but as people say there's always the library too. Not sure if I'll be able to afford the increased Netflix cost, but how else if the library doesn't the film can I catch really great, obscure films?

Even with the price increase, Netflix is still a great place to watch movies. No one else provides a selection that is even close.

Can't remember the last time I rented a movie I always just order payper view movies. It might be a dollar or two more but I don't have to worry about returning it.

Continuing with Netflix--sharing the cost with a significant other.  I still appreciate the vast library of (in some cases hard to find) foreign, independent and B exploitation films as well as the convenience to watch these films whenever I want instead of waiting and hoping for one of the very few art houses left to show them.

The Netflix delivery system remains a treasure as the only means to view world and non-studio cinema.  We've delivery and streaming and enjoy both.  Doesn't matter how often Turner repeats wonderful films.  It is sensational that they remaster so much for younger audiences.  Check out anything Netflix or Turner has to offer Pre-Code (1934).  We are secularly blessed.

i used to have netflex but when i found block buster i went there instead it is just like netflex but the pictures are much larger and you can search in so maney different ways more then netflex it cost a little bit more but i think it is worth it.

I'll continue to rent Netflix DVDs - and they'll continue to sit on the counter because I forget to watch them.

Video Cafe in HK still rents movies. . .they don't have a lot of cult-y older ones, 'though, so I usually buy those from Amazon.

Believe it or not...I have lots of VHS tapes I still watch!  Plus dvds.  I love TCM because they don't interrupt movies with commercials.  I watched the Exorcist a few nights ago on some station (A really good scary movie!) and they put in so many commercials, at the worst possible times, that it really ruined the scariosity of it.  I often have TCM on the tvs while I'm listening to music because the black & white movies are so lovely to see, if not really watch.

I just stopped using Netflix (Qwikster) and switch to something else. Redbox, Blockbuster are good. And so is TVDevo . If you want better streaming there are choices out there. 

I'm on the two a month plan at Netflix.  I'll probably drop that soon.  

I don't get TCM. I don't subscribe to cable. I use Netflix and a smattering of Hulu, Amazon and iTunes and will continue to do so. The only real alternative to Netflix is Amazon Prime, which isn't too bad and getting better.

Give Netflix and any streaming alternative a break. They don't own the content. You want to get mad at someone, get mad at the content creators. They are the ones who have been bilking you for much more and much longer. Yeah, Netflix price increases suck and they were a dick about it but everyone has been so inured to paying high prices for cable, they've totally forgotten they've been getting it in the posterior entry to the alimentary canal since forever.

I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but I got a PayPal charge of $10 about six mos. ago from Netflix for no reason (except maybe to pump up their ledger) and had to call them to take it off.  They did. 

Sticking with Netflix. Went to streaming only, but only because I'm in the midst of a drawn-out move. Video quality better than others I've tried. And what's the big bloody deal anyway? I know people who waste more on Starbucks than the cost of Netflix. Do the McD drive-thru, save money, get better coffee. Netflix all the way.

The library.

NYPL!  You'd be surprised what you can get there. And I rely on the kindness of my movie collecting friends.

I got to the movie theater.

Isohunt, baby.  Just downloaded Mondo Trasho.  Don't tell John.

I dropped it and don't care anymore. If there's something I really want to see, I'll go out and pay or wait till it's on TV.

I'm sticking with Netflix. The price of everything is going up, so I just deal.
