Netflix Instant watch- finds & suggestions

[wataru]

Well kinda irritating, but I went to start season 2 of Dexter for my cousin and noticed that Dexter was taken off Instant Queue.

Yup that's why streaming will never totally replace hard multimedia formats. I remember when I went to watch Dead Like Me Season 2, it was pulled from my queue because it's available until date had passed. Had to wait 3 weeks for it to reappear.

I asked Netflix why, apparently because the DVDs were getting a re-release and they wanted people to buy them.

Showtime apparently took it off of Netflix when Netflix announced it would be getting original programming. Californication was also pulled from Instant by Showtime. Weeds however is still there

Look up MESSAGE FROM SPACE. Quite possibly man's greatest cinematic achievement.

No, that's Warning from Space.

[gvamp]

I still have both Dexter and Californication on my Netflix list.

EDIT:

Nevermind they aren't I just checked however they where there last night.

Blue Mountain State has both seasons available, WATCH IT!

I found Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The whole damn series. That and a shit load (no joke) of Mystery Science Theater.

as of 4/1/12 Premier series for the HUB (Transformers:Prime, GI:Joe Renegades & My Little Pony: FIM) all 1st seasons are available to watch on the streaming site.

All of these series have been licensed by Shout! Factory for release (or future release) on DVD. I already have TF:Prie on Blu-Ray, but since we dotn have the HUB channel, its nice to finally watch Renegades. The story seems interesting enough despite the ulgly animaiton IMHO. I have no interest in Ponies, but my 7 year old Daughter is thrilled to finally be able to see this show.

Found "Dororo" on there a while back, so if anyone wants to see a modem Non-Godzilla Toho flick, this is a good starting point.

Troll 2 is on Netflix instant watch at the moment if you want a great laugh.

[Hedorah]

Oh God everyone needs to watch Sherlock!

For those with Netflix- I just found a really cool site:

It has to be one of the most frustrating things, having really no search options to see strictly what is "new". Netflix has a "recently added" category, but from what I've seen isn't very specific. It can have shows added just a day or two ago, but some things I've seen on that list have been with Netflix for months. So I give you this:

http://www.streamingsoon.com/

It is a nice list of strictly what is new, AND whats coming soon. I figure now is as good a time as any to put this site to the test. Keep your radar on Monday 4/23/12, as season 1 of the Original Transformers is supposed to be available to Stream! *(one thing I should note first is that I have had a couple experiences where I could find new items when browsing on my computer, but it would take sometimes up to two additional days before it would allow the item to be added to my personal que on a game console. According to Netflix customer service, sometimes items will show up before they are "truly" fully installed). I know probably most Transformers fans such as myself have this on DVD in some form or another, but for those that dont, here is another legal option besides watching them on the HUB.

Oh i love the idea of this thread!

The Machinist was a good Thriller movie. I would love to hear other film suggestions too.
Apparently the Human Centipede 2 is on there now...do I dare watch?

Oh God I watched it, sure I was definitely not sober when i did watch it, but what I remember was just strange. It has a lot of skreeonk up shit in it. If you're into that kinda stuff then go ahead

[Hellspawn28]

I hear the second Human Centipede movie was worst. I was unable to finish the first movie and I have no plans to see the sequel. I can hardly sit through Phelous review of the film, I'm glad that I didn't see that movie.

You know what I hate about Netflix? The Canadian version sucks. Seriously, whenever I set out to find a particular movie on netflix, 80% of the time they don't have it! Canada's netflix is composed primarily of brand new Hollywood films and really bad B-Movies. Oh, and a bunch of very obscure TV shows. Can't forget those.

Huh sounds almost just like American Netflix.

Really? Cause last time I checked, you guys had stuff like War of the Gargantuas and Orochi the Eight Headed Dragon over there.

...Or was it all a lie?

I've never seen it, but every time I search for a movie it's DVD only. And TV's New Releases is always full of shows I've never heard of. Maybe, they aren't exactly the same, and maybe there is some country exclusive content, but on the whole? Doesn't sound that different.

Fans of old school Cartoon Network (back when it was good) are in for a treat if you have Netflix Instant Streaming. berginning 3/30 they are going to offer quite a few CN original shows: Samurai Jack, PPG, Courage, Johnny Bravo, and MORE. Even some DC shows like Batman Beyond, Justice League etc...

I apologize the list can't be sorted, but if you look there is tons of stuff on there to keep kids young & old occupied for some time. Also if you dont see them on 3/30-4/1 dont fret, some devices such as Wii. XBox etc... take a couple of days whereas most Computers & "Smart" TV's will likely have them right away.
