1. You should stay away from most of Will Smith's work. He is the "safe negro" that audiences find appealing (IE the Barack Obama of actors), despite a lack of hardcore acting talent (although, as I have pointed out several times, I did enjoy "The Pursuit of Happy-Ness" and "Six Degrees of Separation").

2. Netflix is the only place I can think of where you can get classics such as "The Battle Of Algiers" (greatest war movie ever made) without making a $40 purchase.

I’m currently watching every single movie in a coffee table book someone gave me about 500-must see films. I could not do this without Netflix.

If you have a movie in mind, Netflix is insanely efficient. I do not like the Netflix recommendation feature however.

(And for the record, I like Will Smith. He has just enough charm to make ludicrous movies entertaining - though I don’t ever watch him in Oscar-bait. He can make something as stupid as Hitch a worthwhile way to kill a Wednesday night).
