normiss 900 #1 May 22, 2008 I've grown bored with Netflix I think...or maybe just completed their collection. I'm considering dropping them. So I had Encore given to me by the cable company and I can see why.... I'm thinking an HBO/Showtime package possibly. other thoughts on premium viewing options?

I cancelled my satellite subscription including 100 channels and 10? of HBO after I realized I actually hadn't turned it on in six months. That might have been 2000; haven't had cable since. I did have a really nice video store and t hen got Netflix. You can do classic films -the first tarzan movies from the 1930s, Frank Capra and Humphrey Bogart films from the 1940s, Hitchcock from the 1950s and 1960s, films like Serpico/The Conversation/Taxi Driver/Logans Run from the 1970s. Pick genres like sci-fi classics; directors like Stanley Kubrick or Akira Kurosowa; classic TV like the 42 Twilight Zone DVDS; it's pretty hard to run out. We're currently at 380 on the queue.

normiss 900 #6 May 22, 2008 I have been going through all sorts like that actually. The stupid biker movies from the 60's and 70's, all the old car chase and hot rod movies (god did we tolerate some bad acting just for a good chase scene) and a number of miniseries as well..currently watching Dexter from Showtime..that's an interesting one. maybe I will hang onto the Netflix after all....I don't see anything on HBO or Showtime that really interests me.

Arguably the best car chase in movie histort. Big block Mustang Fastback (McQueen) vs. Charger (crooks) through the streets of San Francisco. The movie is halfway decent too if you like cop movies.
