What Netflix Members In The Five Boroughs Are Watching

Netflix allows you to view what their members in different parts of the country are renting, "much more than other Netflix members."

Below are screengrabs showing the top ten movies (from a listing of 25 displayed) in each borough of New York City that are being rented much more than Netflix members elsewhere. For unknown reasons, Queens was not an option in the menu of major cities in New York City; instead, you had to choose between just a few neighborhoods within, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, or Astoria. Astoria was chosen.  The number one movie being rented much more by Netflix members in Manhattan than anywhere else in the country? Nursery University. Born Rich takes the number four slot.

As an added bonus, Yonkers is also included in this exercise. The number one movie being rented in Yonkers "much more" than anywhere else in the country? Scroll down to see.

Manhattan:


Brooklyn:


Bronx:


Queens:


Staten Island:


And the top ten movies being rented at Netflix much more in Yonkers, than elsewhere in the country:

The View From The Front Of The Subway



Viddler user labanex has uploaded 8 videos recording the journeys of a 7 train, videos that were recorded by his father who apparently mounted a camera at the front window while he was driving the trains. The above video is over one hour long, and the other 7 are lengthy recordings as well. , The video above being my favorite, as it starts in the tunnel, and then out and up the track where the Manhattan skyline is visible in the distance. The houses below, people waiting on the platform for the trains arrival, the conductor announcing the next stop echoing thru the station. The video is oddly captivating to watch, and def rivals any Thomas the Tank Engine show. All 8 videos can be found here.
