I'm using a Pioneer DV-F727 301 disc changer. It's actually a pretty decent machine in my experience. A couple of quirks in cd management, but as far as DVD playback goes it's pretty good. I don't know if the Denon is known for having problems.

I'm trying to remember which movies I had problems with. The Mummy and American Movie come to mind.

I've found that Netflix works best when you keep at least 80 movies in your queue and try to load it up with movies that aren't too popular, but not too obscure at the same time. I view it as a substiture for cable TV .. so there's no fear involved in renting a bad movie. I'm on the 8 disc plan - where I can have 8 discs out at any one time for $35 a month.

Here's a series of movies on my queue which are listed as being available right now. And I won't apologize for my taste in movies . . sometimes I'm in the mood for a stupid movie . . and I appreciate senseless violence when it's done well. I don't get cable tv, so I'm open to renting random movies. Anyways .. on to the list:
