Gonna admit, bluntly, that the selection on the streaming portion of Netflix is pretty piss poor. There is very rarely a selection of popular movies on there, mostly just old classics or off beat movies people watch when they're really bored. However, every once in a while, they do put more recent, up to date movies available for streaming, and I jump for joy off my broke butt.
The first movie I had become addicted to was the Hunger Games. It was on Netflix one day, I was bored, and I decided heck, why not? Watched it once, became completely and utterly addicted to the series. Now, I own all the books, have listed to all of them on audiobook, and am planning to see Catching Fire in theatres this fall.
Then, there was The Avengers.
At first, I saw it, but didn't watch it for quite a while, mostly, because I knew it was going to be good, and I wanted to watch it completely uninterrupted. A few nights ago, this time came around, and I would venture to say it is now my new favorite movie.
The cast, Tony Stark, the witty lines, Tony Stark, the action, Tony Stark, being introduced to Captain America and Thor, and did I mention Tony Stark? I freaking love Tony Stark/Iron Man. Good lord, Robert Downey Jr. just does such a ridiculously amazing job playing him that it blows my mind. Or more so my gut. Because I laugh so hard I think my diaphragm is going to implode on itself.

None the less, this is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Edges in with the Iron Man series and X-Men First Class. I think I might have a thing for super heroes, who knew?
