Where to rent old movies?

[prophet]

I bought "The American Cinema" and i want to checkout some of the movies in there but they are all classics and Blockbuster only has all the new and "popular" movies not the old classics and AMC and TCM dont always show all the best ones, so i was wondering if anyone could suggest where i could rent much much older movies?

Netflix

A video store that is not Blockbuster

[RegularKarate]

It's all there m'man... there's also a thread about Netflix somewhere around here.

basically, it depends on what plan you have... the standard is 3 at a time.

how do you pick out the movies? do you write them on the return thing or do you select them on the website or what?

[ono]

Like RK said, why don't you just check it out for yourself instead of asking us?  Or check out the other Netflix thread here?

Basically, you put all the movies you want in a queue (up to 500).  You order them based on priority, and the first three (or however many you paid for) get shipped to you.  You watch them.  You laugh.  You cry.  You throw things.  You dance around the room.  You send them back whenever you feel like it and they send you back the next movie in your queue.  Repeat.
