Just curious to hear what everyone's first DVD title to rent from Netflix was. Mine was Snow Falling on Cedars I rented on 8/25/00.
If you don't remember, you can check by going to "your account" then clicking on "DVD Rental Activity", then "Show all returned rentals" at bottom of page.
The Element of Crime by Lars Von Trier... god it was horrible
So was Dogville, another of his. Booooooring! Some liked it, I didn't.
Wow, you've been a Netflix member for a long time
I was a member back when you bought 10 credits and each time you rented a movie, they hit your account for a credit. And the discs shipped in cardboard sleeves. Of course that was before they tried airpak envelopes which sometimes exploded in the mail when on an airplane. They've got all the bugs worked out now. :)
I was really surprised by mine. All those classics I hadn't seen and I go with something I already had on VHS: The Name of the Rose, 8/04...maybe I was playing it safe the first time out and going with a comfort movie.
My first three were Batman Begins, War of the Worlds and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving / The Mayflower Voyagers... Two for Mom, one for the kids! That was November of 05...
