What about small-city dwellers and rural folks who do not have a large choice of movies or a movie theater nearby? I'm a big fan of Netflix. I've never had any delay in delivery, and I enjoy a wide choice of foreign movies, old and new. Netflix is a service I could not live without. Therese Namenek, LYNCHBURG...
