Answer
There are two methods to watch Netflix movies.

1. Stream the movie, (which you can't do on a plain old DVD player) or

2. Watch the movie on a DVD Netflix sends you.

The answer should be obvious but if it isn't, you can watch Netflix movies via method #2, but you can't watch movies via method #1.

What kind of DVD player should I get that also allows me to watch online movies from netflix?

Answer
For HD you need a Blu-ray player, not a DVD player. That said, one of the most reasonable is the Insignia player sold at Best Buy (it's their house brand). Netflix and Best Buy just announced a partnership (See link). In Canada the basic player sells for $170 (2nd link).

I suggest anyone replacing a DVD player these days consider a Blu-ray player. Why? Because, that way you have the capability to play Blu-ray disks if/when you find them at an acceptable price, and in the meantime Blu-ray players make a good upscaling DVD player for your existing collection.
