We've subscribed to Netflix for a year and a half. While it's a good thing I'll never see a late charge, it's easy to see why they're making money off morons like me. I'll hold on to DVDs for a month or two, remember that I'm paying for them to gather dust on my TV, then hunt for the white sleeves in the stack of junk mail on the kitchen counter. I have no real hope that the following movies will ever reach my home, but I'll estimate percentage chances of each being delivered.
#27 The Hurricane. I don't even remember putting that one in there. I think I did it because Steve likes underdog movies and this probably qualifies. Only about a 5% chance I'll ever see it.
#28 Rabbit-Proof Fence. Recommended based on my ratings. I'll give this a 25% shot. I'll definitely watch if it happens to be on HBO or Starz.
#29 Miracle. Well, it's about hockey, they play hockey in Minnesota, Herb Brooks lived and died in Minnesota and it's another underdog movie. A good chance this will actually wind up on the tray of the DVD player-probably 75%.
#30 Wonder Boys. Hmmm, well I love Michael Chabon's books. I hate Michael Douglas. 50/50.
#31 How Green Was My Valley. My mother's side of the family has always been proud of their Welsh heritage, and I'm sure it was at her prodding that this found it's way into the queue. It's a classic, which works in it's favor, but movies from the 1940's usually contain the most wooden and stilted dialog, which ultimately results in my falling asleep fifteen minutes into it. Also, another common characteristic of films from that era-everyone speaks with that faux English accent, much like Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow do today. I hate that. 15%.
#32 Being There. Recommended by the Netflix Brain Trust and a movie I've seen bits and pieces of over the years and have always wanted to watch in full in one sitting. 70% that it makes it.
