The Freedom Of A Fresh Netflix Queue

Over time the Eckel family Netflix queue grew to some 75 or more titles. Of course, we got busy, returned movies we watched (taking our attention off the queue) and then discovered some wacky movies arriving in the mailbox.

So we reviewed the queue. There we found numerous movies neither one of us recalled adding to the list. Certainly one of us did, it's just neither one of us recognized the title or remembered why we even wanted to watch the movie in the first place.

Was I on an Amy Smart kick? Did I really have the patience to sit through another Jackson Pollock flick? Would another French film prove that enthralling (you can only take so much of a single director's works, even if it's Eric Rohmer)?

What we found was a collection of some 75 movies neither one of us, really, wanted to watch! So we did the unthinkable.

I removed everything from the Netflix queue. What a liberating feeling! We could start fresh and anew. Which is just what we did.

There are now five titles in our Netflix queue, and we eagerly await the arrival of each.
