There are a number of different ways for a person to enjoy a good film nowadays. Of course, nothing can quite compare to the joys of going to the theater with buttery popcorn, cushioned seats, a massive screen and surround sound. However, it would be wrong to say that there isn’t some pleasure from watching a movie in the comfort of your own home. It's where you can pause any time you like, wear your comfiest clothes, and even watch those feel-good films you’re too embarrassed to see in public.
Since the era of Blockbusters is long gone, the most popular way to watch movies now is with subscription services just like Netflix. After paying a small fee there are dozens upon dozens of movies and television shows to be watched in all kinds of genres—romance, action, family, drama, thriller, the list goes on. Due to the fact that this service is quite popular, it is constantly adding (as well as removing) new films and televisions all the time.
Some of the movies that are featured in this quiz are exclusive to Netflix (meaning that they were produced by the company) while others are simply just provided on subscription site.
