Pucker Up. Netflix is Searching for the Best, Most Inspired Kissers in America

For Valentine's Day, Celebrating the Most Memorable Kisses In Cinema History with the Netflix Greatest Kiss Challenge

NEW YORK, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired by Valentine's Day, the most romantic day of the year, Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is inviting America to make video recreations of the most memorable movie kisses of all time and earn the chance to reenact them live inside New York's Grand Central Terminal and win a dream weekend for two in Las Vegas. Three couples will be chosen to perform their kisses before a panel of judges here on February 13 in the culmination of an online video competition beginning today, and the winners will receive a memorable weekend in Las Vegas during 2009.

Movie enthusiasts, couples in love and amateur actors from around the country are invited to submit their best video re-enactment of a kiss from an admittedly subjective list of the 10 best movie kisses of all time as compiled by Netflix. Or, participants may recreate any other movie kiss of their choosing. Video entries will be accepted from today through February 9, 2009. For complete video submission guidelines and additional event details, please visit www.netflix.com/greatestkiss.

"We think the 'Netflix Greatest Kiss Challenge' is an engaging way to celebrate classic movie moments and allow folks to have some fun and express some creativity in the process."
