I'm always looking for interesting titles on Netflix's Watch Instantly, and Adam has put together a list of 125 Great Movies & TV Shows you can Watch Instantly.
For Netflix users, the "Watch Instantly" feature is one of the greatest no-extra-cost additions a movie lover could ask for, made even more enticing for Xbox 360 owners who can now stream directly from their consoles to their TVs. It's a feature that effortlessly allows you to access any of the movies or TV shows you have added to your "Instant Queue." The problem, however, comes with actually finding the movies you want to add. Navigating through their selection can be both awkward and tiresome, so you may not even realize all of the great movies and TV shows they have available on there. In an effort to remedy this though, I've compiled this list, which will hopefully help to give you more bang for your buck.
I would recommend (4-5 *) everything you probably HAVEN'T heard of: Confessions of a Superhero, The Secret (With Olivia Thirlby), My Kid Could Paint That, Delirious, Tank Girl, Hatchet, The Crow: City of Angels, Music of the Heart, Angel-A, District B13, Harold, The Signal, Glass Houses: The Good Mother, Organizm.
I want people to see these hidden gems... I'm also covering them on my website (Click my name) for posterity. These are what made me fall in love with the Roku player.

Is it just me, or did Netflix SLOWDOWN in the past week or two in adding "watch instantly" titles?
I subscribe to the RSS feed and used to see 20-40 a day and in the last week, have seen maybe ten total.

Glad to see things like Paprika and The Tick make the list. One significant omission: The Man from Earth - a very good low budget sleeper - much better than Primer IMO.

My family has really enjoyed watching the old BBC series All Creatures Great and Small. And I've become a huge fan of the newer BBC show, MI-5. Never would've found that one if not for Watch Now.

Would be nice if Watch Instantly comes to the iPhone!

You HAVE to watch Grindhouse. It's the only way to see it in its intended double-feature glory with the trailers from Rodriguez, Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, and Edgar Wright. This was a great get for Netflix and everyone should check it out.

District 9 slipped right by me somehow. I'm checking it out right now on Netflix instant view. Looks promising.
