That's not what the movie is about, so maybe you really do want to see it and you just don't know it!

(For the record, I'm not on Facebook and probably never will be, but I thought the Social Network was a pretty good movie - not great, but pretty good.)

Well at least perusing the list led to a few movies being added to my Netflix queue I wouldn't have otherwise heard of.

Some other interesting choices on the customer-sales list including NCIS 1-8, the Kubrick collection, and the Braveheart/Gladiator two-pack. Clearly the deal pricing is affecting the rankings.

This. It's one thing to say you saw the movie and hated it. It's another to say you don't understand why people like a movie that you've never seen and have no intention of seeing.

I agree with both statements, I tried to apologize for my poor choice of words but trespoochies decided he had to shit on my apology so I deleted it out of anger.

I've decided that I'm not very good at taking criticism and I apologize for being an ass. I just wanted to post Amazon's list, I should've kept any comments to myself or spent more time wording them appropriately. Sorry... -kd5-

The intention wasn't to shit on you. I just found it interesting how out of all of the movies on this list, you called that one out and made it sound like it was something personal. "how Facebook rose to fame and fortune is NOT on my list of concerns". I was just wondering why you felt the need to call out something you have never seen. Nothing more. You don't like it. I get it.

No problem. The list did spark some non-FB conversation and discovery.
