So I thought I'd provide a bit of a service to any of my followers. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you have probably noticed I like to create lists. I've been doing this for as long as I remember. When I was 12 or 13 years old I begged, begged my mom for a book that was over $100. It was The Baseball Encyclopedia. I took the thousands of pages of stats in this book and re-wrote many of them in my own way. I filled up notebook after notebook of lists based on the statistics of over one-hundred years of baseball. Crazy, I know, but this obsessive compulsive behaviour has stuck with me. Now I make lists of everything: the movies I own, the movies I've seen, the movies I'd like to see, baseball and hockey stats, etc., etc.. Hopefully, reading these lists on my blog has been interesting or helpful to some of you. Well, now I get most of my movie and TV show entertainment off of Netflix, and I've heard a lot of grumbling about how Netflix Canada sucks because of their shoddy selection. (By the way, I'm writing this as a commercial with Russell Peters came on the TV and it reminds me of how un-funny he is! We can discuss this at another time). (Shit, now it's Russell Oliver...all Russells suck). Where was I? Oh yeah, Netflix Canada doesn't have nearly as many options as it's U.S. counterpart, granted, but there is still plenty to see. I've made a list of over 100 movies that I would like to see that I haven't seen before. That would take up about a year of my life. (I don't watch as many movies as I used to. There were years I watched over 300...I know this because I have a list!). There is no doubt that as I'm watching these 100 or so movies there would be more coming on to Netflix. Their catalog grows, literally, daily. I have found a website that tries to update the complete list of Netflix movies and TV shows as often as possible...let me see if I can link it here:http://netflixcanadacompletelist.blogspot.com/2011/11/complete-list-alphabetical-wed-nov-23.html...hey, it worked...I'm usually really bad at this...
Anyway, I found another opportunity to make a list, but it's taking me longer than I thought it would, which is a good thing in this case. What follows, if you'd like to read on, is the first part of my list of films I've seen that are currently available on Netflix Canada. The list is only from #'s to D, and it's already over 200. As my service to you, I have bolded movies that I think should definitely be viewed and wrote in red those that should be avoided. I hope this list helps someone to find some great viewing, but, really, I don't care...it's just another excuse to write a list! More to follow as I keep listing...enjoy.
