sucks arse. Everything I search for is DVD only. Not even new stuff. Very dissappointed. I can't say I see the value. I think I'll be sticking with blockbuster.

Haha. I watch that shite all the time. Tons of great classics. TV shows that you miss.

The Insider? The Vanishing? Serpico? The Fourth Protocol? Serenity? Le Cercle Rouge? Panic in the Streets? Ikiru? Seven Samurai?

The list goes on.

There's a lot of good shite - especially older material - on Netflix Instant.

You should broaden your film horizons a little. There is a near-endless amount of good stuff on Instant

I just searched for Glengarry Glen Ross, Robocop, Four Rooms, and some others. No dice.

The real quality is in the TV shows.

I searched for all older stuff. That's mainly what I wanted it for. Perhaps I should broaden my horizon, it just seems like I've searched for 10 titles and none of them were available.

Which is not really what I'm looking for, so.

There's a ton of Kurosawa on there. I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen any of his movies, but I do have 4 or 5 in my instant queue that i plan on watching soon

I've enjoyed the hell out of the instant stuff with netflix. I have about 20 selections on my instant queue some stuff I would have never watched before thanks to instant queue.

Here's some of the stuff on my instant queue. I don't have a very good classic movie background, and a lot of the more renowned ones are up on instant...I guess Sex Drive doesn't fall into that category, though.

The Jerk is one of my all time favorite comedies. They don't make comedies like that anymore unfortunately.

I love Instant Streaming. I have been introducing my daughter to all kinds of oldies but goodies.

The red star are the aggregate scoring of the film by Netflix users...it'd be yellow if it was his ranking.

It does seem that almost everything I am in the mood to watch happens to be DVD and not streaming.

I have been watching a lot of tv series but even with those I was hoping for a lot more BBC stuff which they don't stream.

It is still worth the money but the streaming selection is just not quite as big as I hoped for.

The red star is a guess as to what you would rate it based on the aggregate score and how you have rated other similar movies in the past. If you do not rate movies on Netflix then it is the just aggregate score of other Netflix users.

This. If you can't find anything to watch on instant than it's your own fault.

They add stuff all the time. I just started Lost from the beginning! Still beats waiting 2-3 days for a DVD....
