Never judge a book by its movie.

Movies: Viewing List
Thanks to Netflix, movie viewing has become a weekly pastime in my household. My Netflix queues (yes, I have two) are usually filled to the brim, and I can’t drop by to arrange them without adding at least twenty more. As you can see, my tastes are quite... eclectic, to say the least. ;-) As always, suggestions and reviews are much appreciated.
