I have Netflix DVD subscription. Virtually any film is available on DVD but the streaming selection is small in comparison. If all you like to watch are TV shows, recent films, and commercially lukewarm back catalog movies then streaming is all you need. However, I want more out of my Netflix. For shits a giggles a few years ago, I took my Netflix DVD queue of about 200 titles and looked to see what I could stream. Less than 10. Most of my queue is not the newest blockbuster, but older films, esoteric films, old esoteric Asian films, etc.
Just a couple of weeks ago I was saying how I had just watched some movie or another on Netflix, and someone tried to convince me it wasn't available. I told them it sure was--they sent the DVD right to my house. The reaction I got amused me. (DVD? Netflix still has DVDs???)
I hear that all the time as well. I usually have to go into an explanation that you can get DVDs sent to you from netflix. I don't know why people have forgotten that it started this way. Was it really that long ago? I won't ever get rid of the dvd portion. Compared to that, what you can find streaming is so minimal.

Agreed on the streaming vs. DVD thing. Streaming is great for those people who just want the Netflix original content, but the movie selection is slim pickings.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Just started One Day at a Time. Very cute and pretty funny, enjoying it.

Divemaster, do you collect DVDS? A lot of those you can find on DVD for a buck or two.

I do have a nice DVD collection. About 300 U.S. movies and 500 non-U.S. (mostly Asian). However, for the most part I don't purchase random or unseen movies, even for a buck or two. If I've seen and liked the movie, I'll pick up the DVD version, especially if it has commentary and other bonus features. Sometimes I'll go ahead and buy the movie unseen if I know I'll like it, and the DVD is a special edition. For example, I bought the latest Star Trek DVD unseen b/c of my enjoyment of the first two films and good word of mouth.
The exception is that a lot of the Korean movies I *have* to buy blind b/c the movies are never released in the U.S. These DVDs are often Region 3 and not available for rental either. So I pays my money and takes my chances. Similar for a lot of Chinese/Hong Kong DVDs, but those are about $5 or less, whereas most of the Korean ones are $20 or more.
So, if any of the movies in my current Netflix queue I end up really liking, I'll buy the DVD later. I recently did this with the Japanese film HOUSE, which was one of the trippiest/weirdest movies I've ever seen. Nice bonus features on the DVD as well.

Anyone else watching One Day at a Time? Really enjoying it. Light and fluffy, but very funny.
I had no clue It Follows was streaming. It's never popped up for me, which is weird with all the horror films I like. That's one thing that annoys me about the streaming version, is that all the films that pop up in the different lists are all the same. You pretty much have to put in the film you want to see and see if they have it. Which can get annoying when you put in a bunch of films that they don't have. They need to get better about organizing films and being able to search through the whole catalog of what's available.

Ha! I just signed on to add some of the stuff Pablo mentioned and low and behold there was a gigantic banner for It Follows just being added. Maybe it was just added recently and I hadn't gone through the new list yet.

I watched Narcos. I liked it overall. Almost every person in that show was a criminal.
