A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
My Netflix top 10's genres breakdown is:
That's reasonably representative of the 400+ discs in the queue, but it gets more TV-heavy the deeper you go.
I really should take some time and beef up my Netflix queue--it's down to 8 items total (the last four discs of Doctor Who, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Syriana, and two other movies I can't recall offhand).
And how do you say "have adjectivally-florid, romance-novel-style sex"?
Seriously?
No, I am kidding. Although, if you know the full range (okay 5 or 10 more) of words for intercourse, from the sublime to the guttural, I'm always glad for a quick lesson.
Here's my full breakdown:

indie (comedie) (1)
Genres of dvds in the bottom ten of my Netflix queue:

tv - 5
Action - 1
My Netflix Top Ten is tv-heavy right now:
Inside Man, Touch the Sound, Arrested Development: Season 3: Disc 2, Brick, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 1, 2046, CSA: Confederate States of America, Band of Outsiders, Weeds: Season 1: Disc 2 , The Office: Season 2: Disc 1.
Although I just realized that they finally re-bought the BBC Bleak House, so I can finish it up. That's going up to the top of the queue.
ita, did you do your genre analysis yourself or does Netflix have a tool somewhere to do such a thing?
I have 500 things in my queue now -- there is NO WAY that I'm going to go through them all.
I may have a French movie in there somewhere or other.
Okay, the highest ranked foreign film I have is at 59. . . still in the first 100. (And there are a bunch of foreign films right around there.)
