After complaining with many friends about the lack of decient movies on Netflix Instant,
I’m starting a list of good things that are on there. I’ll even separate it by genre.
I’m starting the list, but I’m counting on you to help me add things. I’ll keep this post updated with all your comments, and make it easy to find again on my sidebar.
FYI here is an organized list of everything available on Netflix Instant.
And, Streaming Soon, which has a list of movies organized by when they will be released to instant. If you haven’t been here in awhile, here are all the most recently added movies to the Netflix Instant List.
p.s. any comment that is not relevant to adding material to the list, will be deleted
