Now, they can tell you what everyone else loves, too. A new feature lets you pop in a zip code to find what's popular anywhere -- from Anchorage to Kalamazoo to Tallahassee.
October 3, 2006 (Press Release) --
Does it sometimes seem like Netflix knows your tastes better than your friends, your spouse, even you? ''You loved it,'' the DVD rental site will remind you, offering a movie for sale that yes, by golly, you did love.
Now, they can tell you what everyone else loves, too. A new feature lets you pop in a zip code to find what's popular anywhere -- from Anchorage to Kalamazoo to Tallahassee.
In Chicago, for example, we rent a lot of local flavor. The Top 10 most popular DVDs here this week include "Expo: Magic of the White City," "Jimmy Buffett: Live at Wrigley Field" and the four-disc documentary "Chicago: City of the Century"
We're not the only ones who rent local. Here are some of the other findings:
• • ''Crash,'' the surprise Oscar winner about racial strife in Los Angeles was No. 1 not only in L.A., but also in Boston; New York City; Billings, Mont.; Albany, N.Y.; and Miami.
• • In Alaska, ''Northern Exposure'' tops the list in both Fairbanks and Juneau.
• • In Phoenix, people loved Kevin Costner in ''Wyatt Earp: Special Edition,'' which features Tombstone, Ariz.
• • In Savannah, Ga., No. 2 is Clint Eastwood's ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil,'' about the city's infamous murder case.
• • In Fargo, N.D., ''Fargo'' is nowhere to be found.
• • And, no: Wim Wenders' ''Paris, Texas'' is NOT on the list for Paris, Texas.
