Your First Netflix DVD

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.

A Home at the End of the World (2004)

Wow, just ... wow. I did NOT know Colin Farrell had that level of performance in him (he's shown time and again since that he does, he really does).

The Ben Stiller Show (2-Disc Series) (1992)

I remembered liking the show during its brief run, and it was good, but now? He's still doing the same jokes some sixteen years later. And I mean: THE SAME JOKES.; ▶ Reply to This

Over five years, I've reported three disks "missing" and another three as either damaged or mislabled.

The first three movies I rated 5 Stars (Loved); Open Water (I "got" that it was about the couple's relationship, NOT about what is happening TO them), Troy (no excuse for that one, though I love "epics" and that, it was), and Without a Paddle (no excuses needed, that was some funny ^#@%).

First three movies I rated 1 star (Hated it!); Garfield: The Movie (highly recommended from the folks who gave me the NF subscription, IT SUCKED), Paparazzi (took a year before I hit another stinker, I can still smell it), Last Days (still remember my review: Synopsis,"I got high a lot, I fell down a lot, I died."). There are only about three more since that received the 'sucks' star rating. Not a bad average.

Movies returned without having watched it (based on no rating for the movie); Memoirs of a Geisha (never in the mood for YET ANOTHER style-over-substance Oriental movie) and Undercover Blues (one of the broken disks, never put the replacement order high enough in my queue to have recieved it).; ▶ Reply to This
