I'm about to cancel my Netflix account and I'd like to be able to keep the list of movies in my queue. Is there an easy way to export the list in plain text so I don't have to resort to printing it out?

After failing at the above suggestions several times, I just opened my Netflix RSS, went to File/Save As. it defaulted to .xml and saved it to the desktop. Then I opened it up in Excel. Got a lovely little spreadsheet that was ready to edit, sort, and delete unneeded columns. The entire 375 item queue was available in seconds.

I opened Internet Explorer 9, logged into Netflix, went to my queue, and right clicked the page. There was an option to "Export to Microsoft Excel" which when clicked opens Excel. Copy the address of the Netflix queue you would like to save, paste in Excel "address" bar, and click "Go."Go ahead and click "Import" and wait for Excel to import the data. Once finished, click "OK" on the Import Data window to import into the existing sheet, then delete any unnecessary rows and columns.

Because of the missing rss feature I also had to make use of jQuery. The following snippets run on the "My Activity" page return 3 newline separated lists which can be easily copied into a spreadsheet document. Nothing else than a browser with a javascript console should be needed.

Hope someone can help! There is a movie in my Save List, specifically Glass Onion, which is a Netflix movie. I want to delete that movie from my list, and there is no option to do so. I do understand that Netflix doesn't work with the Save List, which is the problem - the movie must have been in the My Feed queue before it changed over to Save List, and now it's stuck there. Just as you can't add a Netflix movie to your save list, you also, apparently, cannot delete a Netflix movie from the list.

I want to be very clear, before a rep responds, that I absolutely already know how to add and delete movies from my Save List the standard ways, and I do it all the time. However, the option to remove this particular item is just not there. But there must be some kind of recourse or workaround so it doesn't just remain stuck there forever.

So, any words of advice from the community? Anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If a rep can help, that would be great! (I also can't figure out how to contact Roku directly anymore, as used to be available.)

This issue is annoying me so much that I'd happily clear my entire Save List and re-add everything, just to get this one movie to disappear, lol. If that's an option, I also haven't figured out how to do that - how to clear the Save List (hopefully without doing a factory reset, which I'm not sure would even solve the problem).

Otherwise, search Google for "Roku telephone number" and look at the results just below the "People also ask" section. I tried to post one of the links (P***edConsumer.com), but my post got flagged and deleted.

For what it's worth, I managed to chat with a Roku representative, who was not able to help me at all. Like, AT ALL. Kept telling me to sign into Netflix and remove it from that list. Somehow I doubt that would help, because it's a separate list! Not to mention I am not even currently subscribed to Netflix - I don't even think it was in my Netflix queue, and I can't view it anyway, obviously. Regardless, there's another title stuck in my Roku Save list that has nothing to do with Netflix, and it too is stuck there.

OMG, I went in infuriating circles trying to explain this on the chat, and ended up basically being told there's nothing anyone can do about it. Not great, Roku. I'm pretty patient and understanding about most things, but ugh.

So the gist is, if there's a title which found its way onto your Save List in the past, and is currently either a Netflix title or not currently available to stream anywhere (aka "no providers found"), then you cannot delete it. And apparently Roku cannot or will not delete it for you. (Nor can you clear your entire Save List and start from scratch, apparently.) Seems like a system bug that needs to be fixed, and maybe I should report it that way, at least.

Again, that option doesn't exist on my app. I may have a different version of the app, I don't know, but it is not there - there are no dots at all when viewing the list as a whole, instead there's a box to check or uncheck on each title. I'll try to include some photos, to show what I'm seeing on my app:

In 2009, I finally joined Netflix, and I felt so cool. The service was incredibly cheap back then, and numerous distribution centers had popped up around the country. It seemed that as soon as you placed your return DVD in the mail, a new one was on its way.

Companies like Redbox, Gamefly, and 3D Blue-Ray Rental still rent physical discs, but their catalogues are much smaller than what remains at DVD Netflix. One of them would be very wise to try to broker a deal for the DVD Netflix discs and equipment, if the license issues can be worked out. Maybe some of the people, who gave so much of themselves trying to save a ship that was being torpedoed by the parent company, could lead the way.

Thank you for your response to my post. I am rethinking my approach to my streaming selections. I will have to be content with the more current offerings for Netflix. Maybe I can find a streaming service with older offerings.

I have been a Netflix DVD user since 2009. I also enrolled in the streaming program very early on. I may have viewed 1,000 disks over the years. I still have over 400 movies in my queue.
Do you know if any equity company that may be interested in buying the DVD business? The Washington Post article indicated that the current annual revenue for the disc business is over $170 million. That sum may be too small to bother with for the current Netflix execs, but it would seem to me that in the right hands with the right funding, a decent profit could be made, and perhaps the top line revenue could be grown. There are many disc that are not available with streaming services. So there is a niche opportunity.

There are only so many movies one can see. Thankfully, the advent of streaming video has remedied the problem of missing out. Each week I will review a movie in my Netflix queue that I have never seen before. It will be with fresh eyes, guaranteed.

With cybersecurity being one of the hottest fields today and a discipline many college students are majoring in, check out these 5 movies for cybersecurity majors that you should consider watching to learn more about the ins-and-outs of cyberthreats and cyberattacks.

Cybersecurity has become one of the hottest fields today with an ever-increasing amount of computer-based hacking and other forms of online threats throughout the world. In turn, higher education has taken notice, and there are many cybersecurity degree programs now being offered to train the professionals who must fill this demand. This includes Saint Leo University's associate's, bachelor's, and master's degree programs in cybersecurity.

To help give a little more context to cybersecurity, students majoring in this curriculum may want to add the following related movies to their Netflix queues.

We all know how ingrained in our lives some online platforms are, including Google, Facebook, and Amazon. However, it's a fact that many users are still completely unaware of why these services are considered "free" and what they actually do with the data they collect on each individual user.

Somewhat ahead of its time in 2013, this documentary explores the hot-button issue of online privacy, specifically examining how both private corporate entities and public government agencies collect and utilize information about users' phone and online activities.


Starring Matthew Broderick, his character is able to hack into a school computer and change his grades in high school. However, he then accesses a military supercomputer and inadvertently sets off what becomes a nuclear threat exercise.

This thought-provoking, documentary-style film interviews a number of highly experienced professionals in the cybersecurity realm who offer fantastic insight and provide more historical perspectives on cyberthreats and attacks. It delves into four major cyberattacks that have occurred over time and everything that went into them and how they were ultimately halted.

Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of this film is that it pays proper attention to those who have played a role in putting an end to some of the most sophisticated cybersecurity issues. These individuals are often overlooked, but they are given the respect they deserve in this documentary.

In this classic late '90s thriller, a member of the National Security Agency (NSA) is portrayed as a villain. He and his team use various technologies in a government conspiracy plot that involves a number of twists and turns.

As the fourth installment of this movie franchise, Live Free or Die Hard serves up a very accurate and intriguing portrayal of how negative the concept of hacking can actually be. A hacker (John McClain) and his sidekick (Justin Long) are in search of cyberterrorist criminals who are threatening to take control of the energy grid.


The concept of widespread cyberattacks on critical aspects of the infrastructure in our society is a cornerstone of this movie, including what it would be like for attacks to take place on street lights, surveillance systems, and other important elements of a safe and free society.

So, how can you avoid developing a long-standing beef with a Netflix rental? You could simply eschew renting anything long, foreign, or potentially depressing, but the prospect of dumbing down your queue is itself depressing.

A fascinating truth. I actually ended up canceling my subscription to Netflix due to the pressure I felt to keep up with all of the right movies. I would get them in the mail, and I would never watch them. It made me realize that I am much more of a spontaneous movie watcher. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. I never know what I am going to be in when I want to watch something, and Netflix certainly put law into an otherwise wonderfully free and fun past-time of movie watching.
