This could be a great compliment to development efforts using Best Buy data. You could combine the synopsis, movie ratings, and recommended movies from Netflix with purchase info from Best Buy. Sure you could get most of the same from BB but I think the Netflix movie audience is a dedicated bunch and not just the casual window shopper. Also, it's free for commercial use. Now we just need to sit back and wait for an app to debut on our mobile devices. Netflix has just released their API to the public as well.
