Well, this is just one of my many "crazy" ideas, some have turned out good and useful and others... well, if this is useful to people, then they'll say so (I hope). Of course it will be a monstrous list, but, is there any other place, on netflix, or a list, that has all this information in one place? I don't think so. Does IMDB have such a listing? I'm not sure (even if they do, it won't help for NF links).

The usefulness, I hope, will serve people in helping them find a title that is a duplicate, but they're not sure which one to watch first etc. With each title, I can update with more and more information, as the idea comes to mind and/or suggested, and as time warrants, and hopefully it will turn into a useful database.

Rome wasn't built in a day, neither will this list be. :-); ▶ Reply to This

I've had to drop many of my favorite titles once I've gone back to edit and found there was no way to choose the earlier (and almost always better) movie of the same name. Is there any chance Netflix will do this?; ▶ Reply to This
