So my wife and I use Blockbuster Online instead of Netflix. Not quite the selection of movies, but they arrive much faster and you get a couple free in-store rentals each month, plus sometimes coupons for a flat-out free movie.

Their online servers, though, leave something to be desired. At Mother Goose's suggestion, I put "Over the Top" on the queue. It is a very manly movie, about Sly Stallone, who is a truck driving arm-wrestler! You can't get more manly than that! Well, maybe if he also killed commies. I don't know.

Here is what Blockbuster suggested I might enjoy if I like "Over the Top":

I hope you all notice that the fourth entry is the charming and sweet Mandy Moore movie "A Walk to Remember". I don't know what in their computers has these two confused, but damn...made me chuckle.

There was that cafeteria fight in A Walk to Remember, that showed some manliness.

LOL well do you adjust your preferences? Their preference selction doesn't do much, but if you rate movies it really helps in your suggested rentals. Rate as many movies as you can think of. :thumbsup:
