Tired of Reruns? We’re Giving Away Free Netflix Accounts!

| By

I bet most people would vote ‘Summer’ as the best time of year. I know I would. But, there’s only one problem with summertime — yes, you know it — all the best TV shows go on holiday too, leaving us with rusty old reruns.

Now of course we all should try to limit our TV time… but sometimes once the kids are asleep, it’s pure luxury to break out the popcorn and a nice cool ice tea, put your feet up and flick on the TV.

So, to help you beat your summertime rerun blues, we’ve arranged to give away 5 FREE 6-month subscriptions to Netflix.

Yes, you read that right… we are giving out five six-month free trial codes to the Netflix service. Users of this trial can have three movies checked out at a time and also get to use the video on demand/Internet video service.

If you’re not yet familiar with Netflix, it’s an online movie rental service that lets you rent movies through the mail with free shipping and no late fees.

Since Netflix is a US based movie service, this contest is only open to US residents.

To join our contest just leave a comment and tell us one or two of your favorite movies. Also, we’d love to hear if you’ve ever tried a movie rental service like Netflix before and what your experience was like. And then on your own blog, please link back to this post so that your readers can have a chance to join the contest.

We’ll announce the five lucky winners next week and as usual we’ll draw the names using random.org.

Also, for any of you living in New Orleans, Baltimore or near the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, you’ll definitely want to check out the free concert and movie series that Netflix is running.

Now, let’s start hearing some of those favorite movies… let me think… my favorite actress is Natalie Portman so some of my favorite movies are Beautiful Girls, Where the Heart Is and Leon The Professional.

Okay, your turn…

This contest is now closed. The winners are…

  1. It is extremely difficult to compare Hulu Plus to Netflix Instant.
    Free netflix offers are provided easily nowadays via online and get netflix free trial from this website:
    . To select a movie to watch use the A button on the
    Wii remote and press A again over the play option.

  3. Netflix is much better than blockbuster as with netflix we can watch movies online. My favorite movies 1.Office Space 2.All Die hard movies

  4. i love watching movies and it would be cool to get movies to watch for free. My fav movies would be casino royaly an taledega nights

  5. Lord Of The Rings:The Two Towers
    Pineapple Express

    I Never used a game rental site this would be a great try.

  6. I had Blockbuster on demand for a while, and unfortunately was just too expensive. I would love to get a free Netflix account so I can use it with my Xbox 360 I got for Christmas! As for my favorite movies, Tropic Thunder and Disturbia!

  7. i have used netflix before at my friends house and i love it 2 of my favorite movies are handcock and you got served

  8. Hi My Name is Bryce my favorite movies are

    1. WALL-E
    2. NATIONAL TREASURE 2

    I HAVE USED BLOCKBUSTER BEFORE AS A VIDEO PROVIDER BUT IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE BUT, NOW I WANNA USE THE XBOX 360 NEW EXPERIENCE NETFLIX THING ON MY XBOX BUT I NEED A SUBSCRIPTION FOR NETFLIX PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP THANKS!!!

  9. My two most favorite movies are “Auntie Mame” and “A Christmas Story”. They are hard to find as rentals. I do use Blockbuster (walk-in), but have never tried an online service.

  10. Oh I would LOVE 6 months with Netflix….. we have used them in the past but had to cut out some “fun” from our budget. Hopefully we can start using it again shortly!

  11. My favorite movie of all time is Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I can quote it like some guys quote the God Father or Caddy Shack) and my other favorite is Scrooge the Musical (with Albert Finney from 1970) I know it’s crazy but I HAVE to watch it ever year during the Holidays – it always puts me in the Christmas Spirit.
    I have never tried a mail movie thingy…I guess I would like to see if it works for us.

  12. One that we watch over and over and quote incessantly is “Intolerable Cruelty” with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones. Soooooo hilarious. And it gets better and better each time we see it.

    I also really like a good spy movie. I loved the Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy and will be one of the first to see The Bourne Ultimatum!

  14. I’d love to be able to rent a few TV series like “24”. Some of my favorite movies are in the same genre: i.e. Clear and Present Danger and Casino Royale.

  15. oh I’m so loving this one. I used to have a netflix acct ! My faavorite movies are Independence Day & Grease. 🙂

  16. I have not tried any of the movie services.

    Favorite movies are: The Quiet Man, Paint Your Wagon, The Earthling

  17. We’ve been seriously contemplating getting netflix, maybe this could be our decision maker. I’m a sucker for older movies. Dirty dancing, greese, pretty woman.

  18. Oooh, great contest! Great prize!

    I LOVE Netflix, but haven’t had it in a couple of years now. I had to start saving money. D’oh! Two of my favorite movies…Magnolia (the only movie I actually like Tom Cruise in!) and American Beauty. Amazing flicks!

  19. That would be awesome! Favorite movies are the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Have you ever watched the whole set with the commentary on? 😉

  20. My husband introduced me to Netflix and it’s absolutely great! Since we’ve got one daughter, and TWINS on the way! This will probably be a lifesaver, as we won’t get out much at all in the next oh, 15 years or so. Unfortunately due to our tight budget, we don’t currently have a Netflix account (so a free one would be GREAT!)

    Crap, I can only pick two favorites? That’s like saying “You’re my favorite kid!” Well if I have to… my two favorite movies are:
    Intermission – I love Irish films, and this one features Cillian Murphy & Kelly MacDonald, not to mention great soundtrack by Damien Rice!

    The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou – All because of one man: Bill Murray. ‘Nuff Said. Oh and Wes Anderson is a great director.

  21. Just wanted to let you know that I just added the link to this and the other contests here. I didn’t see before that it said to do that. Sorry!

  22. I’ve never subscribed to Netflix before. I’d like try it but it’s not in the budget. I love the old musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, My Fair Lady, Sound Of Music, Oklahoma.

  23. We have never tried Netflix! A friend of ours subscribes to it and is quite pleased, I believe. Might be fun to try….especially if I win this fun contest! Hmmm…my favorites are Father of the Bride and Sweet Home Alabama!

    Sarah, TN

  24. Free netflix???? Egads!!! That would be terrific! As far as favorite movies go….I love The Wizard of Oz (even tho the flying monkeys still frighten me) and love love love The Sound of Music, because I have fond memories of watching them every year on TV with my grandmother….Wonderful memories!

  25. This sounds great! I’ve been considering getting Netflix, so this would be a great way to “test drive” it. 🙂 IF I win. 🙂

    OK, I LOVE movies, so picking two will be tough.

    1) Facing the Giants – I just love inspirational movies, and this is one of the BEST in my opinion. 🙂 Awesome philosophy to live by.

    2) I have always loved American Graffiti as well. I just love the soundtrack. It’s awesome.

    OK, I know these two have nothing in common, but you asked and I’m eclectic, what can I say? LOL… 🙂

  26. Sounds like a great giveaway to me! I’ve never tried Netflix, but have been tempted to because we love movies.

    My favorites (this week) are Pursuit of Happyness & Footloose.

  27. I have yet to win anything in any of these blog contests, but if I give up, I’m sure not to win, right?

    My favorite movies? The Lord of the Rings trilogy and hmmm…. I guess Anne of Green Gables. I have many others that I like quite a bit though.

  28. Great Giveaway!

    Favorite movies: Sound of Music, Frequency, Anne of Green Gables, Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, Legally Blonde

    Netflix: We’ve done Netflix in the past and LOVED it. The only reason we cancelled our subscription was financial- we were trying to eliminate every monthly payment we possibly could, and sadly, Netflix had to go. It is great, though- so convenient, accurate, and fast!

  29. I love all those corny 80’s movies, but since I have 3 teenagers living in my house most of the movies watched here are star wars type movies. I love 50 first dates and Meet the parents. It may be too late to get in on this but if it isn’t I really need this because I never get to choose the movies because they always go to town to pick them up.(yes we live 15 miles from the nearest movie rental place)

  30. I am so linking to this. I’ve never subscribed to Netflix before, but I think the concept is brilliant. I refuse to let my kids wander into a movie rental store, because of all the images they would be exposed to.

    My favorite movies include classics like “Yours, Mine and Ours” (the original), “Gone With The Wind”, and “Sound of Music.” Okay, and you can throw in a little potty humor like “Ace Ventura.”

  31. I’ve tried Blockbuster.com and I must say that the fact that you can return your videos and return them to a brick and mortar establishment in exchange for more videos is a HUGE advantage over Netflix. Two of my favorite movies? Apollo 13 & Casino Royale.

  32. I have never tried a service like netflix…we are avid movie watchers…I prefer to watch movies of my choice rather then some of the craziness on TV..I like old movies…classics…like: To Sir With Love, Sound Of Music, The Music Man…and any comedy…love to laugh~!!
    I think this is a GREAT giveaway….!!!!

  33. I tried Netflix when my son was first born and loved the convenience. Later, as life got busier, I found less time to watch and thought the cost was too high if I couldn’t really utilize the service the way I wanted to. But I enjoyed it while it lasted, especially viewing old television shows I never saw during their original run (like “What about Raymond?”)

  34. Lady In The Water ,Signs but also movies like Pride and Prejudice. I absolutely love Lake House. We tried Netflix but here in Mi. we have had to cut back on expenses due to oh…. the rises on the cost of everything. But we enjoy the movies none the less. Thanks.

  35. we had netflix to watch the old 24 series. hmm my favorite movies, i guess gone with the wind and a more recent one i really enjoyed was the painted veil.

  36. I haven’t yet tried Netflix, or a similar service, but I would love the chance to do so. A couple of my favorite movies are Steel Magnolias and Oceans Eleven. Thanks!

  38. What a great contest!

    Let’s see…some of my favorites are Amelie, Lord of the Rings, Meet the Parents, and yes, I can’t believe someone else out there loves Leon and “Mateelda” too! (Gary Oldman was awesome in it!)

  39. I’ve never tried any video subscription, but I’ve thought about it many times! We don’t have cable (not an option in the “country” but we watch a lot of movies.

    My favorite movies? Grease, Grease 2, About Last Night…, The Green Mile.

    Heather

  40. I’ve tried Blockbuster, enjoyed it too! Hard to keep up with when life is busy though…..makes me wonder if I’m still getting a deal or not!

    Would love to have a free subscription!

    God Bless,

    Valerie

  42. All time favorites, wow. Hard to think of only two. I’ll say Heathers and Overboard. We’ve never tried a video rental service but I would love to!

  43. I have tried Netflix in the past. Being in the sticks of NH at the time, the service was not great in terms of turn-around time. Now that I live in the real world, I’d love to give it a try again…see if they’ve improved their service.

    My favorite movies are Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Dreamgirls.

  44. Hey Girls! Great thinking! I want in! I love a good movie, and it’s so much better than the high cost theater…although there is something to be said for them – sometimes you just need to see an action packed movie on a big screen.
    Fav Movies? Anything Matt Damon – love all the Bourne series, all of the Ocean’s series, The Italian Job, and any baseball movies. All time favorite? Field of Dreams – daughter’s name is Karen and the grandfather played baseball – true in my family.

  45. I have tried Netflix…it is great…escpecially if you homeschool. Tons of movies and documentaries on there to boost your curriculum.

    2 of my faves…My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Pride and Prejudice

  46. I do love Netflix. We used it soooooo much during both pregnancies. My two favorite movies, and that’s is narrowing it down farther than I have ever attempted to, are Fools Rush In, and Dirty Dancing. 🙂

    Does that date me at all?

  48. Hmm…some of my favorite movies…Auntie Mame, for sure. With Rosalind Russell. Love. It. Also…ack, I have so many favorites! Urban Cowboy, anything with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks together, Sweet Home Alabama.

  50. What a great prize. Too bad I don’t have a DVD player. Need a new TV first since its so old the adapters don’t even work. Lol.

    I am a movie fanatic but being a single mother with disabilities and having two young children the budget just doesn’t allow for splurges like movies very often.

    The last movie we saw was Santa Clause 3 and it was fantabulous (fantastic + fabulous). Another favorite is American President. Just a great movie.

  52. Movies? We love movies!! I like old movies, but also appreciate new ones Like Lord of the Rings and Good Night, Good Luck. Our favorite family movie is The Princess Bride. At our wedding, our pastor started out the ceremony with “Mawage…”

  53. Count us in. One of our favorite movie – Princess Bride. I can watch that a million times (actually I probably have). For kid flicks we love Robots. Something the kids and adults enjoy watching.

  54. A couple of my favorite movies… Eternal Sunshine of the Spotted Mind, and The Sound of Music.

    Yes, we had Netflix once for several years and loved it! We dropped it a while back to scale back the monthly budget a bit.

  55. I’m going to have to go with “The Fugitive” and “The Notebook” I’ve never used a movie rental service before, but my husband and I have been talking about signing up. I would love to win this contest!!

  56. My favorite movies are Auntie Mame (starring the great Rosalind Russell) and The Shawshank Redemption (in my opinion, a nearly perfect movie). I’ve been thinking about joining one of the online movie services, but I really don’t have much time to watch, so I keep thinking that I should save my money. I’m sure I’d really enjoy it, though!

  57. No one has mentioned my favorites yet…and they are great!!…Return to Me (soooo good), and Waking Ned Divine. Hopefully if you win, you’ll get to try these thru Netflix!

  58. We’ve been thinking about getting Netflix for a while, now and have compared to Blockbuster’s, but haven’t signed up. I love old movies…Audrey Hepburn is a favorite (“Sabrina”, “My Fair Lady”, “Funny Face”) as is James Stewart (“It’s A Wonderful Life, “Shop Around the Corner”, “You Can’t Take It With You” and so many more!)

  59. I think Netflix is a great idea. How conveneint to just stick it back in the mail when you are done!
    As for favorite movies…my childhood classics were Annie, and The Wizard of Oz. And I love a traidition of watching Miracle on 34th Street (updated one) every year. And on top of that I enjoy My Best Friend’s Wedding, or First 20 Dates, or Sweet Home Alabama.
    Thanks!!!

  60. Oh I love this giveaway! I have Blockbuster Total Access right now but would love to try Netflix.

    There are many nights that I put on my laptop when everyone’s gone to bed and put on a really good chick flick. It’s such a treat to have that time to myself as a busy mom. And there’s something about the laptop that makes the movie look so crisp…just like I’m in a theater!

    My favorite movie? That would be a four-way tie between The Notebook, Tuesdays with Morrie, Pride and Prejudice (the original) and Emma.

  61. I have never tried a movie service like this but have thought about trying many times! My favorite actress is Reese Witherspoon. I like her in movies like Sweet Home Alabama and Legally Blonde. What a great contest!

  62. My all-time favorites are The Wizard of Oz and The Lion King. I’ve never tried NetFlix (or any other mail rental service) and have only rented videos a handful of times.

  63. I have never tried netflix and I would love to, my husband and I jsut LOVE watching movies, we want to see everything there is out there!

  64. We have done both Netflix and Blockbuster in the past…my faves are too many to list…love the New Pride and Prejudice…Anything Jane Austen…Emma…Sense and Sensibility….

  65. Hee hee! I held this contest a couple of weeks ago at my blog! :^D

    I don’t know if you all ever refer people to other contests on other blogs but I thought your readers might want to know about the HUMONGOUS series of giveaways at my blog this week.

  67. Wonderful!

    My all-time favorite movie is The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio. Second choice would be The Color Purple.

    I was a member of Family Pass until it closed. We loved it and used it for educational movies for my son. We’d still be members, but they are no longer there.

    I have considered Netflix but just hadn’t signed up yet…would love to try it out.

  68. My favorite movie . . . . goodness there are just so many! I really like the movie Emma, so I’ll say that one for now – but honestly there are many many more – Sleepless in Seattle, While you Were Sleeping, Notting Hill, Miss Congeniality (notice a trend?) . . . .

    I have never used Netflix before but have really wanted to and over the summer would be perfect with all my boyz! Especially if it rains – eek!

  69. This would be great! I’ve heard of Netflix, but never tried it. My fave’s are Annie and Sound of Music! CLassics from my childhood.I never get tired of them . . .

    Other favorites would be the Harry Potter movies, and a bunch of other fun chick flicks.

  73. Strictly Ballroom, an amazing, quirky, funny romance set down under.

  77. I have never tried Netflix myself but I know my parents just love it. Netflix would be great to have for summer with the kids home from school.
    Favorite movies: Out of Africa, Lords of Discipline, Somethings Gotta Give…and a lot more!

  78. I tried Blockbuster last summer for about 3 months. I loved it. Although I was movied out by the end of the summer.

  79. Wow. A free netflix account would be great – I’ve always thought about trying it out.

    It’s hard to choose, but one of my many favorite movies is Secondhand Lions.

  80. I tried Blockbuster when they went online
    and it was too hard to get “family” movies.
    I was too tired to watch movies when my dd
    went to sleep, so if I couldn’t watch it in front of her-
    I didn’t see it.
    My favorite movies are “Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio”
    and “Overboard”.

  81. I’ve been really interested in Netflix — just haven’t had the extra money to try it out…

    My two favorite movies…? I’m pretty eclectic when it comes to tastes in movies…Napoleon Dynamite and While You Were Sleeping…serious ones: Dances With Wolves and The End of the Spear

  82. I have never tried an in-home rental movie service, but have wandered over to Netflix many times and have been ‘tempted’ and I’m positive I would be hooked after a free six month trial run! My fave movies are Pride & Prejudice (Matthew MacFadyen is to die for) and Ladyhawke (1985!). I’ve always been a Mel Gibson girl…but did I mention that Matthew MacFadyen is to die for?

  85. Wow sooo many…

    The classics…The Sound of Music, Gone With the Wind

    When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, How to Lose a Guy in 10 days….

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Gone with the Wind!!

  87. My sister has Netflix and absolutely loves it!!! She says it beats heading to the video store, any day of the week!

  89. We have used Netflix before… we liked it!!

    As far as favortie movies…
    Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
    Usual Suspects
    Ocean’s 11 and 12
    most of the disney movies!!

  90. We’d tried netflix last year and liked it. We canceled it to save money:) Some of my favorite movies: Roman Holiday, Shall we dance, Sound of Music, Charade

  91. Wow – I’d love to try out Netflix! I have not tried out a service like this before. A couple of my favorite movies are “Life is Beautiful” and “Ever After”.

  92. I’ve used NetFlix before (last summer). It worked out great while there were no shows on TV we wanted to watch. We could get a movie for me, one for my husband, and one for my daughter all at once. We were just talking about starting up our membership again for this summer, so winning this contest would be perfect timing!
    Favorite movies: Empire Records and Shag: The Movie.

  93. Hmmmm favorite movies.
    The Princess Bride
    Romeo and Juilet (the 90’s version with Claire Danes and Leonardo D)

  94. Oh, I hope I win. I’ve never tried Netflix, but I think I would love it!!! My favorite movies are The Princess Bride and the Neverending Story. Both are kiddish movies which is probably why I love them so much. They let me escape into being the kid instead of the grown up. 🙂

  95. the Princess Bride and the Man from Snowy River. and Grosse Point Blank. and the Wedding Singer. 😉

  97. Awesome contest! I love NetFlix!
    Let’s see… favorite movies – Mr & Mrs Smith – it’s a different kind of love story and It’s funny but someone else had this one too – Ever After. I am a softy for romance.

  98. I have never tried Netflix or any other movie delivery place. I would love to give it a shot though maybe I would actually get to watch them since I never can find the time to go to the store rent one and come home watch it and then take it back lol.

    My 2 favorite movies that is tough I would say the Sound of Music is one of them and then Forrest Gump lol. anything romantic or funny! Nothing gross or scary I am a chicken and not afraid to admit it.

  99. I’d LOVE to be in! My favorite movies are the Lord of the Rings series, and I’m waiting impatiently for the next Harry Potter and Bourne Ultimatum.

  100. My all-time favorite movie is St. Elmo’s Fire [yes, I’m a child of the 80’s]. And I also love Coyote Ugly. We rent movies from Blockbuster, but I’ve never tried one any of the “thru the mail” programs. I’ve really been thinking we should though. It would save a lot of time.

  101. Wow! This would be so great! We had to get rid of our netflix account because it wasn’t in “the budget”. With a baby on the way, I know my last few months will need some good movies to keep me occupied (not that the nesting period hasn’t already kicked in to some degree!).

    Netflix is definitely a wonderful service. I think better for the $ than some of the other ones out there, plus you can cancel your account at anytime without fees and they will still hold your queue for when (they hope) you return.

    My favorite movies are the Anne of Avonlea series and my husband loves Clear and Present Danger.

  102. I’m not so much a blogger as an emailer of link-er.

    I once did netflix and found that I rented the same movie for MONTHS, but if I won this, I SWEAR I would be better this time!!! 🙂

    My favorite movies: Overboard and Strictly Ballroom.

  103. Oh, I have so many favorite movies. I’m a big fan of the classic musicals, but I do like to laugh, too.

    I’d say my current favorites, (always subject to change) are The Princess Bride and Save The Last Dance. Two more goodies are A Walk to Remember and Door To Door (about a man with cystic fibrosis). I’ve never tried a mail order movie service, so it could be fun to win.

  104. I don’t have a blog, but would sure appreciate a Netflix subscription. We’ve not tried any of these types of rental programs before.

    2 movies we’ve liked here are Ushpizin and The Shop Around the Corner (which was modernized to You’ve Got Mail).

  105. Great prize! 🙂 I’ve never tried Netflix or Blockbuster’s program, but hubby and I have been thinking about trying it.

    2 favortie movies…wow. Hard to list just 2. lol. I’ll say Return to Me and Runaway Bride, or the first Halloween (minus the sex scenes), or Shag. lol. I can’t decide.

  106. OH Pride and Prejudice, that’s another one I like. The new one. And I KNOW it doesn’t count that I commented twice, darn it!

  107. Count me in.

    I have never used Netflix but we started using redbox (www.redbox.com) which in our area has little “units” located outside McDonalds, or in grocery stores. The rentals are only $1 per night, AND you can drop them off at ANY other redbox location. So we like to pick one up here, Little King and I watch it on the way to visit my parents (4 hour drive) then we drop it off at the Redbox location nearest to them the next day! I love it.

    Favorite movies? Yikes, I’m sure these won’t be my all time favorite. There is an older movie I really like, and don’t know why, called “The Mighty”. It is good. I also love “You’ve Got Mail”, it’s such a classic. And for a funny, stupid, but I love it Christmas it’s gotta be “Elf”.

    I’m weird, I know.

  108. Yippee! I love movies. My favorites? I love Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Princess Bride and Lost Boys. Quite the eclectic combination, eh?

  109. We loved Netflix, but when our twins came we had to say buh-bye as there wasn’t time to watch the news, let alone movies. We are definitely in a place to watch movies now, but certainly can’t afford it. I would love a free subscription now.

    As for movies, it’s hard to pick just a few, but … Finding Neverland (and anything with Johnny Depp in general), About a Boy (and anything with Hugh Grant), and Chocolat and Crash (and anything that makes me think) and Oceans 11.

  111. Count us in! We used Netflix – religiously before we had kiddos 🙂 now … on a one income family, we’ve had to cut out some not so necessary things – I would LOVE to sample their online on demand service!!!!

    Favs: Anne of Green Gables series by Wonderworks, You’ve Got Mail, Sound of Music :), My Big Fat Greek Wedding

  112. I have never used Netflix, although we have been considering it for a while.

    In honor of this contest, I listed 13 of my favorite movies today on my blog http://janne.cc/blog/?p=140 — two of them being Fly Away Home and Fried Green Tomatoes. 🙂

  113. Weve used netflix long time ago. we loved it. they have fast service. Two of my favorite movies are Chocolat, and Sweet Home Alabama. Fighting the Giants was also a good one. Thanks for the great contest offer.

  114. Count me in! My dh falls asleep in theaters, so we hardly EVER go see a movie. Other than a few things with the kids, I think Schindler’s List was the last movie we saw there! We keep thinking Netflix might help us catch up on the good ones we’ve been missing — and revisit some classic favorites, like To Kill a Mockingbird.

  115. Wow! Hubby and I have been crazy for something to watch since the finales of shows like LOST and Heroes. Netflix would be GREAT! I have almost too many favorites to name. Classic adventure like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars. Or even the more current Lord of the Rings trilogy.

  116. So in! Fav movie huh? Well, Pride and Prejudice (A&E version) and Steel Magnolias have gotta be the top 2! Oh! I can’t forget Planes, Trains and Automobiles….. gotta love that one!

  117. oooooooh what a fun give away. I have always wanted to join, but never have. I guess I don’t really know how well it would work, and I don’t wanna pay for it until I do know LOL!!

    A couple of my fav movies:

    Neverending Story was one of my favs, it’s too bad my kids need CGI and all of that crazy stuff to be drawn into movies, cuz this one is a great one, but they dont’ like it 🙁

    Umm another one would have to be Fried Green Tomatoes, with a tie with Princess Bride. Both excellent movies 🙂

  119. We have had Netflix in the past (and loved it), but had to stop because dh has been out of a job (starts new job Monday!).
    I have too many favorite movies! Remember the Titans, Princess Bride, Christmas Vacation, and Christmas Story. I also like to get workout DVD’s too. Hope we win!

  120. We’ve been contemplating getting a Netflix account, this would be SO great! Some favorite movies of ours include The Princess Bride, Pride & Prejudice and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!

  121. yes! i’ve tried netflix about a few years ago. that was when we were in our early years of marriage and financially broke. so i did the free trial thing and it’s a great service! it really is! so this is going to be great for the family who can’t watch the movie before returning it. its great!

    my favorite movie is a tie between the 1970’s pippi longstocking movie and the original hairspray movie starring rikki lake. new movies make me throw up it has so much porn in it (yes i’m talking about movies that have made its way to the local theater. i can’t believe the amount of sexual acts in them nowadays, what’s next).

    THANKS!

  123. Me! Count me in please! I would love this! My favorite movie of all time has to the the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice. Can’t beat a good Jane Austen movie. 😀 We haven’t tried Netflix but we have friends that love it!!

  125. Please! count me in.

    My all time favorite movie: True Romance, Beaches, Coming to America, The Color Purple and well……as you can see, we LOVE movies 🙂

    WE tried Netflix once. Couldn’t afford it so, we cancelled it after the 2 week trial. 🙂

  126. I’m a fan of guy movies. LOL Not chick flicks that make ya cry. I can’t wait to see the die hard movie this Summer…

    We have used Netflicks in the past and had good experiences with them.

  127. Oops! I hit the wrong button and posted before I was finished.

    A couple of my favorites are Sense and Sensibility with Emma Thomson, Emma, Wives and Daughters and Anne of Green Gables. As a family we like things like Pirates of the Caribbean and Spiderman.

    We did a trial period with another company set up like Netflix. It was nice not to have to worry about a return time. But sometimes our rentals are spur of the moment, so a mailing system wouldn’t work for that. Unless we ordered whatever we wanted next so it was waiting for us during those moments. 🙂

  130. I have never used Netflix but I think it would be so great b/c we are the world’s worst at taking movies back on time!

    Favorite movies…. hmmm….How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and anything that doesn’t have Elmo or Charlie & Lola in it! (ha) Probably White Christmas as my other favorite!

  131. Hmmm. I am already a member of Netflix, but my favorite movie… there are so many. Will I sound old fashioned if I say Gone With the Winde? 🙂

    BTW, Cheri and I are giving away a free Music CD. Come by and leave a comment on the June 4th post telling us what you are listening too.

    Blessings!

  132. Oh my. Dh and I have been going crazy ever since all the season finales. We love our evening TV time! We had Netflix at one point, but we weren’t great at remembering to mail the movies back. I guess the online / on demand is what we need!

    I don’t really have a favorite movie because I don’t tend to watch them more than once. But we recently saw Serenity (based on the sci-fi series Firefly), and it rocked! Oh, another good one I just saw was the original Mr. Deeds (the Adam Sandler one was good, too).

    Dh’s favorite? Blade Runner!

  133. you want me to narrow my favorites down to TWO? you do know that is asking a lot of me, right? um. i’m going to have to go with mrs. miniver and batman begins.

    i’m weird.

    if you’ve never seen mrs. miniver, you’ll cry your eyes out. in a good way.

  134. My favorites of all time are The Inn of the Sixth Happiness and The Saint with Val Kilmer. I would love to win this!!!!

  136. We love getting Netflix, and I just found out that with a subscription you can watch a movie ANY TIME ON YOUR COMPUTER as many times/movies as you care to be staring at your screen. Unfortunatly this doesn’t work for out of the USA people like me *boo hoo* But Netflix is how I catch up on all the shows like House MD, CSI and such. It suites us because we are a family that doesn’t watch the same thing over and over – so it’s no surprise that I don’t have a “favorit” movie . . – and this saves us so much because we don’t feel like we need to buy the film . . .it’s always avalible at Netflix.

  137. I love “Where the heart is”!!! I also love all Jane Austin novels made into movies. ALL OF THEM! 🙂 and Anne of Green Gables.
    I’ve only used the library for cool rentals. 🙂 I’m such a nerd.

  139. I am a movie girl. Favorite movies: A Few Good Men, Star Wars…..too many to name. I am so curious about Netflix, and dying to try it. I have several friends who do, but I’ve never tried something like that.

  140. What a great give-away! I’ve not tried a service like NetFlix before; we get DVDs from RedBox $1 kiosks and the library regularly. Strictly Ballroom, Life Is Beautiful, and Amelie are some of my favorites.

  141. Awesome contest and… we just got rid of our dishnetwork subscription so winning this would be fab! Thanks for the op.
    My two fav movies… that’s hard as we watch alot… I’ll have to go oldschool and say Ladyhawke, and … The Pirates Of the Caribbean series. 🙂

  142. What an awesome contest! For sure the first movie I would rent would be Empire Records! I LOVE that movie!

  144. Great contest! My favorite movie is “Princess Bride.” I could watch it over and over again. I have never tried any movie rental programs, but they all sound like great programs!

  146. We’re thinking about getting a Netflix account. My all-time favorites – My Big Fat Greek Wedding, You’ve Got Mail, and Princess Bride.

  147. Favorite movies – Love Comes Softly and Gone with the Wind. We did Blockbuster once but it was kind of expensive so we dropped it.

  148. I’ve tried the Blockbuster service (last summer) but it was slow. Now that you can take them back to the store and exchange them, it seems more user friendly. I’ve heard that Netflix is much speedier than Blockbuster, so I’d love to try it!

    My favorite movies are “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Steel Magnolias”. 🙂

  150. I’d love a free Netflix subscription! We don’t watch movies very often anymore, just a lot going on with 3 kids, but it would be fun to have an excuse to make time to do it! I love chick flicks–especially Serendipity and My Best Friend’s Wedding! I also like a good comedy!

  151. My two favorite movies – Field of Dreams and Field of Dreams… Ha ha. Should I recite the dialog for you???

    I have just gotten a very basic Netflix account – 2 per month. And I love it. Would love to be able to have more than one at a time. Haven’t watched movies for a few years, and there’s a lot to catch up on!

  152. Ooo, I love this giveaway! I *have* tried Netflix before, but it’s been several years and I had to give it up — better use of money elsewhere, unfortunately. 😉 But it was a great service and I loved it while I had it.

    Let’s see, a couple of my favorite movies…. “The Shawshank Redemption” would have be my number one favorite, with “The Hiding Place,” based on the book of the same name by Corrie Ten Boom, being a close second. 🙂

  154. Wow! What a great give-away! I’ve never tried Netflicks but I’ve been meaning to.

    So, two of my favorite movies are Sense and Sensibility (I absolutely love Kate Winslet in this movie) and The Importance of Being Earnest (mainly because I have a secret crush on Colin Firth…oops, I guess it’s not much of a secret anymore).
