Netflix vs. Blockbuster
Compare Movie Rental Programs
You will get a much bigger selection of movies from Netflix or Blockbuster Total Access.
Local stores can only hold so many films, so they focus primarily on the latest releases.
If you want to find more classic movies and, especially hard-to-find films, you will have
a better chance of finding them from these mail order services.
Plus, you can get them delivered to you in the comfort of your home!
You don't have to go out to the video store and hope that they have a great
movie in stock for you to watch. You don't have to pay any mailing costs.
Both offer a great selection of African American movies on DVD.
Netflix and Blockbuster Total Access both offer recent releases and classic
African American movies on DVD.
Why not try them both and then decide? It's FREE!

Here's how it works:
1. You sign up for the service. Netflix and Blockbuster are both offering free trials.
There are no commitments. If you don't want the service after the trial, you can cancel your
membership. Once you sign up, your movies will be sent to you immediately.
You will probably get them within 1-2 days.
2. You pick the movies that you want from their online database.
Both Netflix and Blockbuster have thousands of movies to choose from.
They have a very large selection of African-American movies including many old classic films.
You'll get more movies this way than from your local movie rental store.
They both also have movie suggestions based on your interests.
3. The movies are delivered to your home to watch at your convenience.
The movies are delivered by U.S. mail for you to watch whenever you want to
and for as many times as you want to.
4. You return the movies in their free, prepaid shipping envelope.
There are no additional charges. They provide you with a special return envelope
that already has the postage on it. Or, if you go with the Blockbuster Total Access
Program, you can return movies in the store if you want to.
5. They automatically send the next movie in your movie queue to you.
When you join the program, you can add movies that you want to watch
into a queue so that when you return one film the next film is automatically
mailed to you. You can have as many movies as you want in your queue so
that all of the films you want to see keep coming and going nonstop.
