“Date night” may be putting it too strongly, since we’re still on our own couch, but it feels like we have a joint hobby, and we’re spending more time talking with each other about what we watch. Meanwhile, our evening screen time has turned into something of an event. The frisson of TV FOMO has dissipated I haven’t heard anyone talk about Russian Doll or Chernobyl in months, after all. But for me, the past year has been a genuinely revelatory experience. I’m not trying to pretend I invented the concept of watching movies at home.

We pop one in, put down our phones, and voila-it’s movie night in America. Instead, we curate our ever-expanding queue in our downtime, and most nights we have just two or three DVDs to choose from. If you really want to watch old movies, you still need access to DVDs.Īs a practical matter, using the DVD service means we don’t spend the beginning of the night toggling between streaming services and painstakingly clicking out search terms with a janky Roku remote. But when CNN reported recently on the quirky remnant of Americans who still receive DVDs by mail, it estimated that Netflix offers fewer than 6,000 movies and TV shows to stream, while its DVD service has about 100,000 discs. Streaming services obviously don’t emphasize this point, and Netflix won’t even say how many titles it offers in the two branches of its business. Douglas Sirk’s Magnificent Obsession, David Lynch’s Wild at Heart, and Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz, to name just a few we’ve watched this year, can’t be streamed anywhere in the United States, at any price. Instead, a morass of legal hang-ups and commercial demands has conspired to keep countless great movies unavailable to stream. The promise of streaming services was that “everything” would be available at any time. Many movies can only be streamed for a fee, and those $3.99 payments would add up fast. Here I must stress the crucial role of DVD.com in this project. As of today, there is no longer an Instant Queue option for streaming customers it has been replaced by something called My List, in which Netflix’s recommendation algorithm organizes your.
