WELCOME!

Thanks for joining Movie Fans! We are a diverse collection of movie lovers with varied tastes and styles, gathered together to discuss one thing we all love, MOVIES (oh, and TV SHOWS, too). While independent of the company Netflix, most of us are members and are happy to share information regarding the site. Here you have the opportunity to:
+ ask the difficult questions (about movies, the Netflix website, etc.);
+ surf forums (to discuss movies or whatever);
+ create your own home page;

Besides an open topic forum, we have a section labeled Groups which caters to more specific interests in genres, directors, trivia and general movie fun. Some you may like, some you may not, but we encourage you to look around and find what works for you.

Topics on the main board address all different kinds of interests and inquiries. Don't be shy. So again, welcome aboard! Strap in and enjoy the action packed, romantic, summer movie thrill ride that is Movie Fans - A Netflix Community.

Updated Web Video Player

If you watch movies and TV shows streaming from Netflix on your PC or Mac you may have noticed that we have updated our Web video player. We’ve refreshed the look of the existing features and added some new functionality.

Some of the new features include:

·      The size of the controls now scales, making it easier to use the player on large screens, for example if you connect your computer to your TV
·      Similarly, the player will scale down to smaller windows, which is useful if you want to watch something while working in another window.  Also, the video now stretches to the full window in the browser
·      Full screen mode now has all the features of browser mode so you can view season/episode information and change to the next episode when watching a TV show
·      Pausing the video now shows more information about the title

In our new player, we’ve consolidated controls into one line.  We’re also using icons instead of words. This might take a little time to get used to, but we think it will be intuitive once you start using the controls. Here’s a quick look at the key differences:

Old:


New:


Perhaps the biggest change is to the ‘Back to Browse’ option, which used to sit at the bottom right of the old control bar.  We’ve moved this up to the top of the screen and to the left.  It’s now an arrow icon and text will explain its functionality when you hover over the arrow with your mouse.

We hope you enjoy the new video player experience.

Thanks,

Michael Spiegelman and the Netflix Video Player team

Celebrate Earth Day with Netflix


I'm Ian Bricke, Director of Content Acquisition here at Netflix.  Join us in celebrating the 42nd anniversary of Earth Day on April 22nd!  Whether you’re a hardcore treehugger or a laidback household recycler, Netflix has a great offering of green movies for every taste, all available to watch instantly.  If you’re into hard-hitting environmental documentaries, try Forks Over Knives, The Last Mountain, or the 2012 Academy Award-nominated If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.  For a more playful look at green living, check out Revenge of the Electric Car.  Travel the world in pursuit of inspiring stories of renewal, creativity, and adventure with Waste Land or 180°South.  Celebrate the sheer beauty of our natural world with the family-friendly Turtle: The Incredible Journey and March of the Penguins.   And if documentaries aren’t your thing, you could do worse than a one-of-a-kind Earth Day double feature of Free Willy and Chinatown(Let's be honest, Chinatown is not only one of the all-time-best Jack Nicholson movies, but also a pull-no-punches look at water rights.)  Happy Earth Day!

Play Ball!

"Play Ball!" Those are the words said by millions of baseball fans around the country as they cheer on their favorite players and teams each spring and summer.    For the 30 Major League teams and their fans, springtime, and Opening Day, brings new hope of a championship season.  It is also around this time that we celebrate a true baseball hero, Jackie Robinson, the first African-American professional athlete to break the color barrier in professional sports.  Mr. Robinson joined the then Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947, ending nearly 80 years of segregation in baseball.   He would go on to win the Rookie of the Year Award, a National League MVP award, play in six World Series, and six All-Star games over his illustrious 10 year career that, at times, was plagued with racism.  

On April 15th of each year, Jackie Robinson Day, Major League Baseball now pauses to recognize the many contributions of this extraordinary man and athlete.  It is in his memory that some of today’s greatest players tell of their trials and triumphs in the documentary, Harvard Park.  Baseball legends Darryl Strawberry and Eric Davis headline an all-star cast in this moving film which chronicles their off season training regime in historic South Central Los Angeles.   Nicknamed “The Program,” Strawberry and Davis unofficially, but systematically, put together a workout and training routine that drew African-American players from the majors and the minors to an (admittedly) run down field in a dangerous part of town.  And, although “The Program” attracted superstar players like Kenny Williams, David Farmer, Barry Larkin, Dejon Watson, Royce Clayton and Lenny Harris, to name just a few, they never left the neighborhood where it first began because they knew their presence at Harvard Park signified something greater to the neighborhood. 
 
For over 10 years, these athletes would come together and share their talent and time to help one another become better players and, in the process, set a profound example of leadership and community, exemplifying Jackie Robinson’s famous quote, “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” 
 
I’m Pauline Fischer, Vice President of Content Acquisition and in honor of Jackie Robinson Day we are happy to offer Harvard Park to instantly watch on Netflix.   I truly hope you enjoy the film!
