Jaws on the beach

jawsnetflix.jpgLast week we talked about how some back-catalog Netflix movies get returned unwatched even though we love the idea that we could watch them and we happily pay for the privilege. Here's a really clever marketing campaign by Netflix that puts their classic movies front and center.
