Attention all you people who have Netflix or blockbuster.com

How many movies are in your queue?

I keep wondering if my number is astronomically high.

I have 115. (Whic is down from the high of 139)

Am I nuts?

For bonus points: What kind of movies do you try to put in your queue on purpose? Old movies? Oscar winners? Art house films? Action movies? Cartoons? Everything Keaneau Reeves has ever done?

I have 21. Used to be a lot but I hate long lists so I winnowed.

47 for home delivery; 44 instant view. What makes mine worse is I'm on the 4 at a time plan.

459 in my Netflix queue, with 15 more saved. They won't let you have more than 500 total.

Good grief, you people are out of control. :-)

They don't trash movies if they're not in your queue, you know?

Not that it matters, but we recently reduced our plan from 3 at a time to 1 at a time in order to a) save a few dollars, and b) to "make room" for the new TV season and the return of a few shows that were on summer break.

I think we have five in our queue. It usually gets down to one or two before I build it back up to five again. We don't have much time for watching movies these days so we're on the cheapest plan ($5 for two movies per month), and it works out perfectly for us.

As far as selection goes, we're pretty eclectic. We don't do much comedy, though.

I use Blockbuster Online to catch "older" movies I never saw (except I currently have Matewan because I want to see it again, and I want my wife to see it.

Right now, my queue is down to 37. I guess I need to start searching the lists again.

We do the Total Access, 3 at a time because I love returning them to the store, where we pick up newer releases and stuff for the kids.

Now that we have a Wii, we also get games from the store.

Zero

And that means, evidently, that I am hopelessly out of touch.

37.......it was a lot more when the kids were younger (youngest is 14 now) because we had a lot of kid's stuff in there........now its mostly new releases that we were curious about, but didn't deem worthy of top dollar - only about one a month at the most is.

I have had "Seven Samurai" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" in our queue for about 3 years - I'm shamefully slow to move classics i haven't seen to the top......."Babette's Feast" has sat in there for over a year now too.......

Bill,
I have less than zero I don't even know what they are talking about. Milly is hopelessly out of touch.

34 in the queue -- our kids (12,10, & 7) are into MacGyver, so the top ones are the season DVDS -- !
They love it and sometimes watch 2-3 episodes at once.
