Movies in the Mail

Do you belong to any of the online offers to get movies in the mail for like $10 a month. Just wondering if there were any really good ones or bad ones that I should avoid.

I don't belong to one but had wondered the same thing about them. I have seen the Netflix commercials and also the Blockbusters. With Blockbusters they have started where you can either get it in the mail or go to the store for one monthly price.

I joined Blockbusters and really enjoyed it, we hadn't been renting any movies for a while so there was a good selection. Unfortunately we got there one day and they were closed. Had gone out of business with no warning. Because it was an individually owned franchise, we were just out the money for the month we had just paid for. Another Bb store and a competing chain were offering to honor the contract, but only if you signed up with them. Just wasn't ready to risk it again. I've never used, Netflix, but my niece does and is very happy with it.

Not the movies ones, but I do belong to GameFly (which is the same thing for games). I gotta say that it's a great service!

How much is it a month for this service. I have only seen that it is nine dollars the first month but how much after that?Thanks.

i belong to netflix and i love it, i pay 25 bucks a month to get 4 movies at a time. i love the fact that there are no late fees and i can get as many and as few movies as i want a month. i do not have to drive to the video store. and if the movie does not work when you get it, u just file a problem report and then send u a new dvd out right away for you and u sent the problem one back.

We did Netflix for a while. It was a very good service and very convenient. However, we just weren't watching enough to get our moneys worth, due to our children having so many evening activities and other things. I would have no problem recommending the service.

I do Blockbuster Total Access on-line. I pay about $17.99 for it and I get three movies in the mail at a time and when they are finished I can take them to the store to trade for either a new film or an old film or a video game. I usually watch a ton of films. I just finished the HBO mini-series Rome and it was awesome.

I don't bother looking around online website which offer movies for money, I search for torrent to get movies for free. I like to see movie for free rather than pay for all the movies I want to see ...

Everyone I know uses Netflix and has had no complaints. I don't use it myself, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. If I were going to sign up with any of them, it would be Netflix.

I belong to Netflix. I signed up for the $5.99 offer. We get 2 movies a month. That is all we need, because we don't really watch that many movies. I am very satisfied with Netflix. When they mail one out, I receive it the next day. There are no late fees and they have thousands of movies to choose from.
