    Help me netflix it.

    We broke down and got Netflix.
    1) What should I queue?
    2) How do people get what's on their computer to show up on their TV?
    What kind of cords, etc, do I need?

    We are expecting a long hibernation this winter, so we want to have some good movies to accompany it.

    We loved renting TV series when we did Blockbuster online a few years ago--any recommendations?
    Any Jane Austen movie recommendations?
    Comedies, etc.

    Thanks!!
    Shalom,

    I recommend you queue Chaplin films:

    City Lights
    The Kid
    The Great Dictator
    The Circus
    Modern Times

    You could also try some of Werner Herzog's documentaries, if you wanna try some artsy stuff:

    The White Diamond
    Wheel of Time
    Encounters at the End of the World
    Land of Silence and Darkness

    You might also try these films:

    Brief Encounter
    Spoorloos (The Vanishing) (a Dutch film, very suspenseful and possibly scary, though no gore, language, etc.)
    Nights of Cabiria (deals with a prostitute but no offensive material in the film, so far as I can remember)

    What do you like? NetFlix has pretty much everything you could get on DVD except pornographic material.

    I've started a quest (of sorts) to watch the AFI Top 100 films (from the 1998 list). I've already seen Casablanca, Citizen Kane and the Godfather.

    PC is a couple years old...it obviously has USB slots. I have no idea what else.

    TV is old, not HD. It has the three color prong connector holes.

    Obviously, this language is not technical and shows my cluelessness : )
