Movie thingy
Aug. 27th, 2005 05:56 amI got a bonus rental (customer-satisfaction bribe) from Netflix today, so I was checking out my queue, and browsing around, when I clicked on the link for "The Movies You Have Rated", and so I'm gonna list the movies I or someone in my household have given five stars. If you feel like it, go to your netflix queue or equivalent, and do the same (or equivalent). Alternatively, you could just list the movies you love. I have gotten some really good recommendations by asking that question in the past, so why not.
By the way, to me, five stars equals, as Netflix says, "I loved it", not "I thought it was a high-quality movie", necessarily.
