We use LOVEFiLM and have the £9.99 unlimited 1-at-a-time plan, which I think is actually £8.99 for Tesco Club Card holders. We're not too pleased about the turn around time for films, but that might have more to do with the fact that we live on the Isle of Man and have to wait a bit longer for most things anyway. They do have a great selection.

We used to use Lovefilm but found we weren't watching movies often enough so it wasn't value for money. But the service was really good with the exception of multi-part things - e.g. if you signed up for Lost seasons 1-5 (or whatever) and Lost seasons 6-10, you wouldn't necessarily get them in the right order (even if you prioritised them).... So you'd have to only request one at a time which was a tiny bit of a drag, but not really that big of a deal....

Amazon.co.uk for over a year now and have been very happy with the service!  Great selection and quick turnaround.

We use Lovefilm & are reasonably happy with them.  I think we're on a £12 per month, 2-out-at-a-time plan.  I often say we should cancel it during the summer months, however, because we don't watch as many when/if the weather is nicer.  In the winter though, we usually watch at least 2 films per week.  (So you reckon that's 8-10 for £12 per month.)

We're not too fussed over what we see when.  We just put films on the list, don't really prioritise them, and then it's always a complete surprise as to what turns up!

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.
