Netflix Top 100
The Netflix Top 100 list includes all the films that are currently most popular with Netflix customers from across the United States. This list is updated once per week, and a film’s upward or downward trend can be followed by looking for the plus or minus symbols. This is one of the many helpful features that the online rental company provides for their members, and later on I’ll be including every entry on the current Netflix Top 100 list.
But before we get to that, let me remind you how easy it is to become a Netflix customer. All you have to do is click on this link and then fill in a little personal information. That’s about it. Afterwards, all the films of your choice will be delivered to your home, and there are absolutely no late fees involved. A number of Netflix membership plans exist, as well, allowing you to keep out anywhere from one to eight DVDs at a time.
Local Favorites from Netflix
In addition to the Netflix Top 100, the online movie rental company also allows members to look at the most popular films by city and state. For example, I live in a rural area in northern Texas, and the current top rentals include the following:
