Just imagine if they had good movies on their streaming service.

They're getting better. Six months ago there really wasn't much worth watching on there.

They had this awesome movie I got about 10 minutes through called Transmorphers.

I'd settle for AMC but HBO would be awesome too.

And like Randy said, they're getting better all the time with their streaming movies. I imagine they probably have to cut through a lot of red tape to get movies online though. Just look at how long they have to wait to get the DVDs.

I know that I can watch a ton of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes from their streaming collection, and I've been enjoying the Firefly series. When I've got an open night, I'm going to watch The Godfather.

For someone without cable, the streaming stuff is pretty good.

Other than live sports, the overwhelming majority of what we watch is thru streaming Netflix....movies, tv series we never watched, etc. Even our kids go straight there now when they want to find something to watch....the 4-year old knows how to navigate it better than I can.

I'm probably not going to buy cable again with all the streaming content online. Netflix saves me about $40/month.
