Today, April 22, 2009, I received my 647th disc from NetFlix. Number one, GOODFELLAS, a spoof about the mafia, came April 20, 2005. A few of them were Kathy's, a few were bad discs and had to be reordered, and a few I watched for 20 minutes, put back in the mailer, and rated them one star (hated). The vast majority I watched. Here are first 25. #2,3,7,9,10 were SIX FEET UNDER, about a family of undertakers (I wouldn't lie about this). #5,11,15,19,25 were SEX & THE CITY (my tastes are looking up). #13,18,25 were the SOPRANOS (I rooted for Tony and wanted to visit the Badda Bling [sp.]). #20,23 were the show 24 (Jack Bauer is still beating on people). #6 was SOUTH PARK (I enjoyed the satire but couldn't stand to watch poor Kenny die again). #17,21,24 were the GILMORE GIRLS (I watched this series faithfully until it went off the air). I missed part of the first season and had to catch up).
#12 was THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. I saw it in the theatre when it came out in 1971. It was done in black and white which just added to the quality. It's the story of a dying town in west Texas. It was Cybil Sheperd's first movie; some of the others were Timothy Bottom and Jeff Bridges before they became bigger names. The sequel, TEXASVILLE [#16] (done in color) didn't match the original. TLPS is one of my all-timers.

I bet Netflix has a hard time figuring out what movies and shows to recommend to you. You should try Slumdog Millionaire- Eric and I both enjoyed it.
