I've never used Netflix, but I definitely had a different experience renting movies on VHS. I was always very choosy about what I rented *because* I was spending money on the rental (and riding my bike all the way to the video store). I wasn't going to spend my precious allowance on movies I just grabbed on a whim. I've also returned movies I started but didn't finish because I didn't like them. It didn't happen often, and the only example I can remember was The Mosquito Coast, which I'd actually checked out from the library rather than rented, but still. Also, rental tapes (and DVDs) weren't always in the best of shape and there were a couple of times I couldn't finish something because it stopped playing part way through and was too damaged to be playable after that. Finally, in my experience, video store clerks were zero help when it came to recommending movies for a ten year-old who didn't like anyrthing scary, gorey, or too violent.

Meanwhile, I will watch pretty much whatever TCM puts in front of me, and now that I get free HBO channels for some reason (I think my cable company is trying to keep from loosing subscribers) I watch even more random movies I wouldn't have otherwise seen. I've learned not to flip to the HBO channels late in the evening, since I will probably end up staying up too late on a work night watching a movie even though I could have DVRed it for later.
