Love film, Netflix or... Something else?

Having just bought a smart tv we are now thinking we might subscribe to an online streaming thing. Just looking at these two options the main difference immediately is that LF is £1 a month cheaper then NF. Any other differences? What would anyone recommend? Or is there another option?

They both offer a months free trial, so why not give them both a try.
Ive tried both and personally I prefer Netflix, and using unblock-us(an extra £3.20) I get access to all available Netflix regions with gives so much more choice.
Netflix Canada has just added Red Tails so that's going to my viewing this evening.

That's a brilliant idea about the free trials. Will do that.

Unblock US which is $4.99 a month. You can choose to watch from any Netflix region. Brazil also has some interesting selections.

If your using unblock-us, goto the 'How To Setup' page and use the region selector.
If you don't see the selector then you'll need to login.
Each time you change the region you'll need to exit Netflix and log back in again.
