Now+Free makes up for a for a whole lot of quality.
Joking aside:
Comparing only movies really skews the quality focus of the marketplaces to purchasers vice subscribers. Subscribers would be more motivated/less inhibited to watch TV series and would receive better value, than a purchaser. If that is true then iTunes would have a greater motivation to drive quality movies instead of series, and Netflix would have the inverse motivation.
I guess my point was that less arbitrary categorization would be a more accurate study. Delivery, Audience, Length, and Top Level Genres may provide more insight into the comparability of the 2 libraries.
