Is there a larger list I'm missing by not joining up. Right now I do HD PPV with Shaw 3-4 times a month, but these are for new releases.

The best way I can describe Netflix, which I've said here before too, is that it's a great service for those who feel like watching a genre, rather than a specific movie.
It's not meant to replace Shaw, Bell or the like's VOD service, when it comes to new releases. But, it's a decient archive of older films as far as I'm concerned, and for $8 a month, with unlimited use, there's not a day where we're not watching something, from Kids shows, to Mad Men, to the occasional movie.
There have been times where I've thought to search for a random movie here or there, but I never expect it to be there. I've been pleasantly surprised from time to time, but it's not a good vehicle for doing so.
So if you enjoy new releases, don't waste your time or money. But if you've found yourself walking the isles at those old things called video stores, in the older sections looking for something to pop out at you, that's what Netflix does best right now.
