For $5 a month you have access to a large number of titles, including some recents, oldies (Rumpole of the Bailey), documentaries, and some films. We started Lost in Austen tonight. So far it seems like a good deal. As you pointed out, it's a fraction of movie ticket. We haven't had it long...
From Independence Day....
Barbeque'd ribeye and New York, with seasoning of cayenne, basil, and lemon pepper, corn on the cob grilled in the husk on the bbq, pasta salad, asparagus, and fruit salad, ably supported by a cabernet.
Excellent choices! The Searchers is one of the few westerns the Missus actually enjoys, thanks to the story and performances. Fort Apache ranks slightly higher for me, as part of the unofficial cavalry "trilogy".

Attending the movie theater nowadays for me represents an increasingly smaller return on investment. The ticket prices and the concession stand prices are too high for my budget (and I understand it is not the theater owner's decision, but the result of the cost of film exhibition, i.e., the...
All our favorites are done for the season, with the exception of Person of Interest. Consequently, we've been enjoying Cops Reloaded, and a couple of episodes of Young Justice, season 2. The Missus is all caught up on Blindside. We noodle around on Netflix and Amazon for another Dr. Thorne-type...
The first two episodes of Dr. Thorne, the Amazon series from Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downton Abbey. Only one more episode, which brings a whole new meaning to the expression "limited series." Fellowes himself opens each episode and returns at the end. He's seated in a comfy chair by a...
