Does anyone else have Netflix set up through their Wii?

If so, tell me the movies you might watch over and over again.

It is the best thing for movies to date, in my opinion.

Request the Wii disk from Netflix (free), if you are already a Netflix member. Then you receive it and you can watch all the &quotlay now" movies you want on demand through your Wii.

It is the most convenient and smartest thing for movies I've seen. It loads very quickly as well.

Of course there needs to be a few things updated and changed around. Example, there is no search, just browsing categories.

If I ever get Netflix, I'm certainly getting this.

I use Netflix on the Xbox, it's pretty much the same thing, and I love it

Apparently, it works for PS3 as well. I prefer it on my Wii because of the remote.

But it is like having a video store in your house. You become really brave in the movies you will watch.

Just finished a good documentary!

I've had this on my Xbox for a while now. Some highlights include, but are not limited to*:

Dead Snow (great zombie movie!)
Mongol (think braveheart, but with asians)
Moon (creepy sci fi movie)
Bladerunner (see above)
The Big Lebowski (stoner comedy)
Delicatessen (creepy french movie)
Visioneers (creepy/funny sci-fi movie)
Nightwatch (russian movie.. umm... there's this chalk of destiny and a death yoyo and vampires. just watch it.)

*some of these movies are probably no longer on netflix.

Those are some really good suggestions! Dead Snow was iffy til the end. I almost turned it off.

Blade Runner is in my cue.

Is Delicatessen dubbed or subtitled?

I haven't watched a movie on it for a while, though. Maybe I'll watch one today...

s Delicatessen dubbed or subtitled?

Subtitled. I can't stand dubbed movies.

Also Nightwatch is actually called Daywatch.

Netflix is avaliable on many game consoles like PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360, but I think it also works on some cable providers.

I personally think controlling it is easier with XBOX, you don't have to aim, so I usually watch it on there

They also make a box that can do the same thing, forgot it's name though, or you could get a PS3 to do the same thing, pros and cons for all PS3 things, same with Wii.
