NetFlix Instant Play Movie List

Sachita · 07-28-2012, 03:25 PM

On instant play- "The Way" with Martin Sheen.

When his son dies while hiking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in the Pyrenees, a grieving father flies to France to claim the remains. Looking for insights into his estranged child's life, he decides to complete the 500-mile trek to Spain.

Really good movie that makes you think. Loved it

Netflix just moved some of the 'Prime Suspect' series over to instant play.
If you've not seen it, its a great suspenseful crime drama starring Helen Miren who is quite possibly one of the best actresses ever.

Also the original/British 'Queer as Folk' has been moved over to instant as well. The first episode of the first series caused quite a stir on primetime television when it first aired in 1999/2000? The American production team didn't do the series justice when they bought the rights (shocking, I know.)

Watching a really good series about a group of friends and exes, lesbians in their 20's-30's in Glasgow.

Good drama, some hot sex at least towards the end of the second episode that I just finished; complete with strap-on.

10 episodes all together.

Title: Lip Service

It is available for streaming.

"XXY" - GREAT storyline!!!

"La Cosecha"/ The Harvest- it's hard to watch but very eye opening if you're not informed on how much child labor gets over looked in this country.

"Irresistable" - total mind fuck kinda movie!

Question for you Netflixers, please......how the heck does one navigate their site? Thanks in advance
I type in the search box a movie title I want to see...and dang if I don't get anywhere from 117 to 279 pages to "scroll thru"...what am I doing wrong and is there (I sure HOPE so) an easier way to navigate. Want to make a queue line up....
I know also I can't watch any of the seasons of any shows I may like later than 2011....
Am watching ( for like the 100th time...Hunt For Red October///a very fave one...)

So you're an online streaming member only? Netflix Instant?
Or instant and mailer dvds?

The very latest television shows and series and films will only be available on disc. Though in terms of more recent TV series you may find what you're looking for on hulu.com (particularly with a hulu plus membership).

In terms of searching, I don't usually have trouble finding what I want via the search bar on netflix...can you give us an example?

The more specific you are (especially with titles) the better.

If I don't know what want to watch, I find the best way to look for interesting things is to search by genre: comedy, drama, documentary, thriller, tv etc.

If you click the 'Watch Instantly" button along the header, you'll see the genres in a drop down menu.

Another good tool is to click the "Taste Preferences" button also along the header and spend some time rating movies and television shows - that will help the program matrix create customized genres for you, which generates lists (which are sometimes quite amusingly titled), currently Netflix has the following lists for me:

Gritty Crime TV Shows
Understated Independent Dramas
Suspenseful BBC TV Shows
Critically Acclaimed Visually Striking Foreign Movies
Quirky TV Shows featuring a Strong Female Lead
Classic Sentimental Romantic Movies
Controversial Social and Cultural Documentaries

and then it will also generate lists that are "Like" things you've recently been watching...I have "More like Shaun the Sheep" among my taste preferences list...

hey sparkle...yes, online streaming only! Thanks for the reply, BTW!
I wanted to watch Prince of Tides a few weeks back when my GF was here. So in the search box on Netflix homepage, I typed in movie title...it borught up something like 279 pages of titles to scroll through. I went through something like 25 pages, and still hadn't found the one I wanted, so I gave up.
Other titles I have wanted to search for...and I get a ridiculous number of pages to look through...still unable to find one I wanted.
I have also done the genres..and now have quite a few with selected shows/movies in them.
In the rating selections, I have done those as well.
It is just so darn frustrating to want to find a movie without having to read 279 pages.....
Thanks for the help, sparkle!!!

I am on a stream-only plan, so if I search for something and it doesnt come up, but 500 other shows or movies with one of my search words in the title does, I know what I was looking for isnt available on Netflix streaming yet.

Also, Netflix, unlike Amazon, will not have really new and recent TV show episodes - at least not on streaming.

I am just getting back in to Netflix because I dumped my cable TV so I sifted through their streaming movies and TV this morning for about an hour adding on anything and everything that sounded even remotely interesting. lol
