Tinker I dumped it quite a while back for this very reason. The movie selection is really bad, but there are a lot of series that are worth a look. In the end, I couldn't justify the cost, as small as it is. I just didn't think I was getting anything on NF that I couldn't basically get somewhere else.
If you have a smart TV (I don't, so I am thinking about getting a Roku), you can stream a lot of really good stuff off the net if you have a good data plan. Our library has an online movie streaming service where you can "check out" movies to watch (4 a month, I think). There are some great movies on there, including classics and foreign films.
