Netflix

[cellio]

For my birthday I received a gift subscription to Netflix (I'd been considering it but never did anything about it on my own). This is excellent. I've populated my queue with enough stuff to get rolling, but I figure suggestions are always good. Here is your invitation to evangelize DVDs you think I'd like.

Recent TV I've enjoyed has included Merlin, Pushing Daisies, and Journeyman (last year, short-lived). I enjoyed West Wing, the first three seasons of LOST (more now on the way), Firefly, and the first season of Heroes. I'm a big B5 fan and have seen all the modern Star Treks. I don't get out to movies very often; the profiling there is likely to be unsurprising. If you're reading this, you probably have some other clues about me. I can of course pour all that data into automated suggestion generators; I'm providing it here for a bit of context in case it matters.

Anyway, fire away. :-) (A hint about why you think I'd like something would be much appreciated.)

Take the time to hunt for movies and series that you like and then rate them. Netflix's recommendations tendd to be good if you take the time to state your preferances.

BTW True Blood is good, as is Farscape. They've got a decent classic Dr. Who selection. They've also got all of the Cadfael and Sharpe series. For something completely different sample Wooster and Jeeves. As for movie, Primer is excellent! So are the Illusionist and the Prestige.

Thanks for the tips. I rated a bunch of things tonight (they suggested at least 50 to get a pool, and I have a good mix of love, like, dislike, and hate in there). I do plan to rate everything I see (or have seen, if I come across it).
