I'm actually thinking I'll use the netflix streaming now that it works with XBL. The list of instant titles seems kind of hit and miss though. So far I've added this season's Heroes and Ratatioullie. Anyone have any instant view recommendations to share?

They seem like they're always adding and removing things to the streaming queue. Last week I started watching Dexter, and the next day it was removed.

I was going to start this thread too. There's a lot of good "classic" type movies on there but you have to look around some.

Lots of Hitchcock movies.

Yeah, they have really updated their selection with some good movie titles. There are still some really shitty ones too, but overall, much better. I have over 200 movies in my instant browser queue.

Really cool doc.

Nature: Extraordinary Animal Behavior
http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Nature_Ext ... kid=222336
I watched this for the "Killers In Eden" episode. I saw it once on PBS and it's one of the most amazing animal stories I've ever heard.

They have a ton of interesting music/concert offerings, I've added:
Big Brother and the Holding Company: 900 Nights
Festival Express

Now that I can use it on my TV, this instant watch stuff is awesome. Its like VOD on steriods. I'm thinking of getting one of the add-on boxes for my Mom for Xmas.

Not sure how much of this list is avaiable, but I used it as a source before my netflix-like service in the UK started renting games.

Netflix streaming on the XBox is one of the coolest things to come along in quite a while. The system works amazingly well.

30 Rock
This is England
Cocaine Cowboys
Little Britain
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
25th Hour
Eraserhead
LA Confidential
The Showtime Masters of Horror series
Dexter (I think)

Cool Hand Luke

I watched this again in my one man Newman festival and leaped back into my top 5 of all time. Fucking classic George Kennedy.

Super High Me

I'm really curious about this. I've avoided Doug Benson for years because stoner comedians tend to all say the exact same 4 things, but after listening to a few episodes of the Doug Benson Interruption I found myself liking him, and his album had me cracking up at points.

Super High Me was pretty much a waste of time. The guy has about as much self-realization as a midgefly.

Just watched this last night. Ultimately lame.

Browsed through Netflix this morning and found:
THE TICK (!!!!!!)
News Radio Seasons 1 & 2

Has anyone seen Jericho? It looks interesting, so I added it, but I've never heard any reviews of it.

two guns holla · **Posted:** Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:07 pm

The Tick live action or cartoon? I never watched the live action show eventhough I totally meant to. I love the cartoon but only own a dvd of season 2, so either way its definitely needing to be added to my queue.

mugwump67 · **Posted:** Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:56 pm

I'm somewhat disappointed that its the live action. At least I've never seen it though. Its enjoyable enough.
