Bummer. Although I have these films on disc, the convenience of Netflix streaming was great. Especially while traveling. Nothing better than arriving to some lousy east coast hotel, trying to fall asleep at 8:00 pm my time and putting on some Abbott and Costello.

It was also an easy way to introduce the films to friends. =(

I've never downloaded a movie in my life, so it isn't an issue for me. But, I know a lot of you do, so, thought I'd give the heads-up. Some day, I hope to join those of you living in the 21st century!

I agree. These films were the main reason I have Netflix.  Time to drop it and go back to my wonderful DVDs.

DVDs all the way for me. To me a "stream" is something to leap over to avoid getting wet.

Seems like Netflix has their head in the "clouds" (or elsewhere unsavory).
