If you get it before me, and I have to wait for it, I will be mighty displeased.

Mighty displeased I tell you!  
[/QUOTE]  
I’d forgotten about _Hot Fuzz_ from when I saw the trailer at the theater. Well now it’s in the ‘long wait’ category, so I just added it to position 20.

I can’t decide whether I’m amazed that many of your lists are so sort or embarrassed that mine is so long.

1: Papillon  
392: Hot Fuzz (on long wait so there’s no point in moving it up yet).

I really should stay out of movie threads here because I always end up adding four or five to a list that I’ll probably never get through anyway. On the upside, they just lowered my fees by 4 bucks a month. 🙂

#1 Blades of Glory - even though it’s not out yet

#74 Herbie Fully Loaded

I’m always moving my movies around on the list. The ones at the bottom normally stay there.

#1 [Dark Water Rising](http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Dark_Water_Rising/70061696?trkid=203957)

#3 [The Situation](http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Situation/70066802?trkid=203957)

I seldom have more than 5 movies in the queue, since I have Netflix’s cheapest plan and mostly use it to get movies that are unlikely to ever show up on cable.

I just returned _Thief of Bagdad_, 1924, with Douglas Fairbanks, to get _MacGyver_ Season 1 Disk 6.

That leaves #1 as [_Grand Illusion_](http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Grand_Illusion/21929903?trkid=203957), about two French soldiers in a WWI POW camp, one plebeian and the other aristocratic (like the commander of the camp), their class tensions, and their plans for escape.

Last was (when I started this thread) #107, [_Crossfire_](http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Crossfire/60010268?trkid=203957), in which police detective Robert Young and Army sergeant Robert Mitchum investigate an apparently motiveless murder.

</div>

#1: A Bridge Too Far

#86: Howl’s Moving Castle

I had over 200 items in my queue until very recently, when I went through and culled out a bunch of crap that I added years ago and don’t really want to see anymore.

</div>

1. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I made the SO see the latest Harry Potter movie. He had never seen any of the others, nor read the books, so he wants to fill in the background.

2. A Price Above Rubies. Which I never heard of before yesterday. I wanted to check out some Christopher Eccleston action.

I just returned Curse of the Golden Flower and Session 9.

</div>

1. The Queen

2. Easy Rider

I generally watch one movie a week, so this should last me a while. When I get below 30 in queue, I go through and add a few more.

</div>

1. _Little Miss Sunshine_
2. _Zodiac_

We have \*The Departed \* in the player, watched it last weekend but haven’t gotten around to returning it yet. And _Cars_ is sitting on top of the TV, unwatched so far by my kids.

I’m actually a little embarrassed at how few movies I have in my list, compared to some of you. We used to watch 2-3 movies a week, but now that we have Tivo, it’s more like 2-3 a month. Twentyfive will last us a good while.

1. Shaun of the Dead
2. The Sopranos Season 1

A few weeks ago, Redneck Zombies was #1

I just popped _To Kill A Mockingbird_ up to the top of the list, because my sister’s never seen it. _Stuart Little 2_ is still at the bottom, and will remain there for some time.

#1 is _The Best of the Best of the Electric Company_  
#50 is _Hot Fuzz_, although it was _Clerks 2_.

Right now, I’ve got _Sunset Boulevard_ and _Seven Samurai_ at home. I tend to use Netflix to see classic movies that are kind of hard to find at the local video emporia.

I just finished watching “Hot Fuzz” tonight. It was a hoot!

I have to return my copy of “300” though. There was a defect in it that made it stop and start erratically. Not good for a historical action epic…
