If you are a movie junkie and want some quick-fix flicks to watch, here's a little tip you may enjoy. Forewarning: you must be a Netflix subscriber, use Windows and have a fast internet connection to reap the benefits of this helpful hint.
Netflix now offers free online movies for all subscribers. There are over 2,000 movies to choose from and more are added everyday. All movies are streamed to your computer and the amount you can watch on your PC depends on your subscription plan. According to Ars Technica, users with the $5.99 plan will get six hours of online viewing each month, while those with the popular $17.99 plan get 18 hours.

3 cheers for the 17.99 plan! woohooo!
1I just logged in and it says there are over 3000 movies and tv shows!
2Oooooh I like his.
3wait, so u cant do this if u have a mac?? i want to
4I watched a movie on Netflix. It's such a cook feature, and makes it even more worth my money. But it did keep stopping and starting again, probably because of my internet connection.
5I hope they add even more movies you can watch online. I love it.
I just watched sleepless in seattle, then the first 4 episodes of the office, season 1. I love this feature of Netflix, and i will not move to blockbuster now. who cares about an instore rental when you can watch shiz on your computer at home, without leaving the house?
6i wish they had this in canada. even with the cheapest plan for netflix you get a ton of movie-watching time! ou could watch up to 3 movies in 6 hours...maybe 4 depending on length, plus your regular videos.
7Totally bummed I'm on the Blockbuster plan now. ):
8wow i should look into this.
9Um, yeah. I've tried it on several different computers and it has never managed to work. Someone message me if you've had any luck with it.
10i can't wait till uplink speeds are high enough on cell phones so that you can watch a movie on your cell phone. picture it. sitting in the DMV, time will go by so fast! then, pause and resume later. oh man i love technology!
11yea! thanx for using my tip... Netflix was so nice they even let you finish the movie you are watching if you run out of time, just make sure you don't close the window and start over.
12I havent tried this yet, but i cant wait to try it, especially while at work ... Summer time and aint no one around ever....... ghost town in the office, especially on Fridays.
Luv Netflix*
13Nice addition to the plan!
14Wow, that rocks! I am so impressed I heard it here first!!
15Only one con about it.....it doesn't have a captioning feature as far as I can see it. *sad face* Oh wells!
16i use blockbuster total access
17Netflix needs to show some Mac luv already!
18I just switched to netflix because blockbuster.com was getting way too expensive. The only downside with watching movies is that I can't do so from my Mac. Good thing I still have my PC.
19I wish I was subscribed to Netflixxx! No fair! Hehe
