Film Culture Commentary: Renters, Pirates, and The Movies They Watch

They rarely watch the same movies.
Netflix's most rented movies of all time was led by "The Blind Side," with "Crash" at No. 2, "The Bucket List" at No. 3, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at No. 4 and "The Hurt Locker" at No. 5. 
TorrentFreak's most pirated films list was led by (no surprise here) "Avatar," followed by "The Dark Knight," "Transformers," "Inception" and "The Hangover." 
I don't pirate movies, but I've never seen any of the top 5 rented flicks while I've seen 4 of the top 5 pirated ones (I saw them in the theater, I swear on a stack of Bibles!).  De gustibus ... ?
