Fear of a Black Hat
That’s 47 discs, and I paid $231 for Netflix in the past year. That comes to $4.91 per disc — eep. Not a fantastic value. I gotta maximize.
The standouts for me on that list were The Office, Amelie, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, Storytelling, To Kill A Mockingbird, Capturing The Friedmans, Scent of a Woman, and Judgment at Nuremburg. The total crap on that list was Fear of a Black Hat, Gerry, the Family Guy movie, and Kinsey. Everything else, in the middle. Showgirls is its own category.
