Interestingly enough I opened this up in my browser that doesn't have my Netflix profile saved and it's a different list than when I sign into Netflix.

I guess it's a different list for each city.

Ok, now I gotta' put my foot down. Is Hollywood paying attention to this??? I mean, look at that Top 10... all pretty much solid movies with solid storytelling. Even though I don't personally care for a few of those (I found The Bucket List somewhat cloying but at least it doesn't "skew young" so that alone is a breath of fresh air these days) but my God... those are, buy and large, quality films, films that don't fit into that "young" demographic altar that the execs and bean counters kneel before.

I'm not sure exactly what can be learned by this or what this all means... this much I do know however.... via this list? Hollywood has got it all tragically wrong right now.

Apparently this list isn't visible to those (like me) whose Netflix account doesn't include DVDs. Is there another way to access it? Or could someone repost the top 10?

The Top 100 selections are a simple result of the timing of the growth of Netflix and the nature of having a Top 100 list.

One thing you'll notice is that a lot of the selections on the list were new releases when Netflix started to really take off in 2006/2007. The movies were hot new releases at the time, and subsequent viewers running short on ideas have continually turned to the Top 100 list to come up with ideas, which has only prolonged the list hierarchy.

That's why 7 of the Top 10 (and 12 of the Top 20) are from 2006-2007.
