Nothing from Nothing

 OK, I guess enough time has gone by: Of the "up to ten discs" that Netflix was going to send out on the last day of shipping, we got - ZERO.

We did keep the last two normally shipped, because we wanted to. So we have Bringing Up Baby (1935) (because it is the best movie ever made) and PlayTime (1967) - Jacques Tati's masterpiece. Want to see what I was hoping to get? Here's my list:

1. The Lady Eve (1941)
2. Carlos Saura's Flamenco Trilogy: El Amor Brujo (1986) 
3. Love Happy (1949)
4. Black Dynamite (2009)
5. Spies (1928)
6. The Passion of Joan of Arc (1929)
7. The Killer (1989)
8. The Magnificent Seven (1960)
9. A Poem Is a Naked Person (1974)
10. Le Deuxième Souffle (1966)
11. Frankenstein / Bride of Frankenstein: The Legacy Collection (1931)
12. Before I Hang / The Boogie Man Will Get You (1940)

A mix of classics that we've seen and that we haven't but I suspect we would bve glad to own. The last two were in case they didn't send some of the movies above - they are classic Universal horror or horror comedies with Karloff and/or Lugosi. 

Oh well. Nothing was promised, nothing was delivered. You get what you pay for and all that. Goodbye Netflix DVDs.

Confidentially, we did get a Netflix streaming sub, but only for The Great British Baking Show. Any good movies we should be catching?
