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.
I dunno about when I first joined, but when I came back from BB last year my first rental was an awful tv series, Tru Calling -- I think I was trying to find something unique. I returned it, largely unwatched.
Moulin Rouge, Strictly Ballroom and Elizabeth in winter '03.
I had just started dating my wife to be and these were good choices.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch followed shortly thereafter, which gave her pause, but we recovered...
My wife dragged me to Pasadena (about 60 miles) to see Hedwig in a theater. Trust me she's given me many moments of pause in the last 24 years.
My first NF DVD-The New Avengers Season 1 Disk 1 on 04/12/04, but in my defense at this point I had been a Greencine member for over a year and was only using NF for its superior televid selection.
