In reply to Anonymous. Wow. Blatantly spamming the comments section like that is really in poor taste.

In reply to Sheri Harrison. I find the special DVD features on older movies to be much more interesting/honest than on current releases. One of my favorite extras ever was a one-hour doc that comes with "The Abyss" DVD (not quite a classic, but still) about what a nightmare it was making the movie. Compare that to the press kit-type extras you'll see on new releases, which are typically as substance-free as you can get.

I’m a big classic movie buff and very, very few of them available for streaming on Netflix, so I rely heavily on DVDs (some aren’t even out on DVD, alas). You get great special features on a lot of the classics too, like cartoons and news reels from the era.

In reply to Anonymous. Just to be clear: you work at Dish, which owns Blockbuster, right?

I definitely still check out movies on DVD and Blu-Ray. That is the best part about having the Blockbuster Movie Pass through DISH Network. Works like Netflix but better. I get unlimited streaming, and mail-in DVD’s. My favorite part is there are no late fees and I get new releases 28 days before Redbox or Netflix. A co-worker at DISH also told me that I could now stream movies from my Pass on my iPad. That is going to be so awesome when I am traveling with the young ones. Overall, I love the Movie Pass and I don’t have to worry about going out in the snow to get a movie.
