Today post question came from my friend Mary. She asked how I determine which movies to place on my Netflix list. She indicated that she is always moving the movies around depending on her mood.
Initially the movies on my list are ones that I have seen a trailer for, or in some cases seen the entire movie before. Other movies that make the list are simply browsing Netflix, or using the Netflix recommendation feature.
On the recommendation feature: I find that it is often hit and miss, I've found great movies through it and horrible ones. The more movies you rate, the better chance you have of getting a good recommendation.
Now as far as order is concerned, I too tend to go based on mood. However, I force myself to leave the top few movies in tact. I follow those up with a tv show that I intend watch at some point. Following the tv show is a very long list of movies that have not put in order.
I check my list every few days to see what the next one is. If I am not paticularly up for that kind of movie, I may move one up from the bottom.
"Silence Of the Lambs" has been on my list since I got netflix but I keep putting movies above it. Not to mention it took me weeks to finally get "Rose Red". But aside from those examples, my list doesn't change much. I suppose once I finish the tv show, I will have to realign (sp?) whats left of the list. Currently I have 38 movies (about 8 of those spots are the tv show) on my list.
Side note: I use the instant watch feature a lot. I also maintain a list for those movies as well using the same method.
Next movie should arrive Thursday and it is "Riding in Cars With Boys"
Back to work today. Everyone have a great night/day.
