Separate Lists on Netflix is The Key to Romantic Cinematic Bliss
This week I copied all of my girlfriend Kymberly movies from my Netflix list into her own profile on my account. This is a pretty cool feature and having her movies in a separate list with her own logon but still under the same account. This helps keep things even between us because if there is a delay of a movie it ships the next one in your list, back when we were sharing the same list and had our movies staggered it would some times slip up and ship three of my movies at a time and then there would be hell to pay. You can also delegate the numbers of DVD discs at a time per list and now we both now officially have two discs at a time. Also this way you can shuffle the order of movies around and not disturb the precious His, Hers, His, Hers order of movies shipped. For a couple days I toyed around with kicking it up to 5 movies at a time but then in created and imbalance since one of use had to get the short straw so we are sticking with an even number of flicks.
The other thing that this really helps with is the recommendations. I am sure that we had a rather psychotic user profile that was made up with our own respective eclectic tastes in movies. Since I had several Hong Kong action movies and she had 1940s Film Noir dramas It made for some very strange movie recommendations.
To top it all off her movies are even addressed to her so this ends her getting the mail before I and then getting disappointed when it is some anime movies for me. If you are sharing a Netflix account with someone I seriously recommend you set up separate lists.

So it literally divides the account in two basically? You have a max of two out at a time and so does she? What if you emptied your list, would she still get 2 at a time? I thought about doing that for me and my girlfriend, but I'm on the 1 at a time plan, hah! That wouldn't work out too well.
