Default Netflix or similar......

Thinking about getting some sort of movie streaming service as theres sh*te all on the TV of late. Is the likes of Netflix worth the ££ or are there better services available? Would like a good selection of up-to-date stuff and older 80's up stuff if possible.
I run all Apple hardware so can stream from my iPhone, iPad or iMac via or direct from my Apple TV. I'd rather not be added any new hardware if I can help it

I just checked out the link you mentioned and since I needed to know quality I picked the film you said, what a crap cam that is and it could be downloaded anywhere. Surely if you want to watch a good film it's worth waiting a few more months for a proper blueray?

Now TV is def better than Netflix
The latter just always seems to be old content & hardly updates , not saying Now TV is all roses but it updates & does have a wider selection

I don't actually have normal TV / cable any longer, and haven't had for around two years, and don't overly miss it. I've got Netflix and also unblock-us, which allows me to switch regions for Netflix. My apple TV is setup so I can switch to whatever region I want, usually I leave it on USA. My xbox uses the default settings, so picks up Canadian Netflix.

I believe it's costing me around $145 a year for both services. My normal monthly cable bill was around $70, so it's quite a saving.
