      Oh, totally! It's the "It's on Netflix so it's free" mentality. You already paid for this month of Netflix. It doesn't cost you any more to watch a good movie or a bad one, or the same one over...

      Oh, totally! It's the "It's on Netflix so it's free" mentality. You already paid for this month of Netflix. It doesn't cost you any more to watch a good movie or a bad one, or the same one over and over. It can be quite liberating.

      This bit was interesting to me:

      higher-profile recent adds to US Netflix, including The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, District 9, Back to the Future, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Artist, all failed to make a showing in the chart

      I mean, my guess would be either, "I already saw that at the theater," or "I've seen that a zillion times". (I mean Back to the Future? Who hasn't already seen that?) So it makes some sense to me that those films aren't in the weekly top 10.
