“Crash” Is No. 1 Netflix Rental
The Dark Knight couldn’t dethrone it. Neither could Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, or even Iron Man. No, since its DVD debut in September 2005, “Crash” has remained Netflix’s No. 1 rented movie—much to the delight and confusion of its director, Paul Haggis. “I just assumed it was some sort of anomaly,” Haggis told the Chicago Tribune recently. “I have no idea why anyone went to the movie in the first place, let alone rent it. It was a little independent film, and when people started to see it, I was amazed.”
