Instantwatcher.Com: How to Discover All the Movie and TV Titles Available for Instant Viewing on Netflix

Netflix subscribers looking to keep up to date on the latest films and television shows to be offered for instant streaming may be missing out on some of their favorites or some potential favorites if they limit their search to the Netflix "Watch Instantly" update pages. Netflix users looking to find what new movies and TV shows have been added to the web site's instant streaming list should do away with the rather unhelpful "Watch Instantly" page and instead over to Instantwatcher.com. A visit to Instantwatcher.com, even if you don't take advantage of the paid premium option, can provide you with a much more comprehensive list of movies and TV shows that are currently available for instant streaming on Netflix than what you can do with a simple visit to the "New Arrivals" page on the Netflix web site itself.

Go to Instantwatcher.com and you are presented with, quite literally, the opportunity to see every single movie and TV show available for instant streaming from Netflix. Just how important is this? When Miramax signed a deal to release hundreds of their titles for instant streaming from Netflix, none of those movies showed up on the "New Arrivals" page on the Netflix "Watch Instantly" page. This means that if you were unaware of the Miramax deal, you might miss out on realizing that films like "Pulp Fiction," "The English Patient" and "Hellraiser" had all become available for instant streaming to your Roku, PS3 or other streaming device.

A visit to Instantwatcher.com would not necessarily allow you to queue up all the Miramax films, but it would be much easier to find them via genre search. Here's the thing about looking for movies and TV shows available for instant streaming from Netflix. Even if you go the "Watch Instantly" page then choose to narrow your search by clicking on Genre, you won't get every single movie or TV show that matches that genre. Even more importantly, you won't get many of the biggest hits or most popular titles that fit under that genre. Here is an example of a comparison between searching on the Netflix for titles and searching on Instantwatcher.com for titles.
Film noir: Netflix: 18 titles. Instantwatcher.com: 70 titles.

Screwball comedy: Netflix: 30 titles. Instantwatcher.com: 50 titles.

Now, admittedly, not all titles under the genres defined by either Netflix or Instantwatcher.com are necessarily perfect. I mean, you know, "Hot Shots, Part Deux" is a screwball comedy? And it shows up on both lists. But the point is that if you were doing a search for screwball comedies under the Netflix genre page you would miss out on the fact that "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail, the Conquering Hero" are even available for instant viewing.

Instantwatcher.com not only divides movies into more genre choices than Netflix and includes more movies that are available for instant viewing within those genres, it also lets you locate movies and TV shows available for instant viewing on Netflix according to the year of release, whether English subtitles are available and according to MPAA ratings.

But wait, Instantwatcher.com gets even better for the Netflix subscriber frustrated with finding out that movies and TV shows are available for instant viewing he or she didn't even know about. Instantwatcher.com lets you find out which movies and TV shows are about to expire in their availability for instant viewing. As if that weren't special enough, and it is, Instantwatcher.com also provides and option for discovering what movies and TV shows are scheduled to become available for instant viewing on Netflix in the near future.

Instantwatcher.com also provides the option of a paid premium service. This premium service provides a number of benefits that includes a lack of paid ads on the site, the ability to sort and filter your Netflix instant viewing queue and a decluttering option. There are plenty of people who could benefit from the premium options, but you really don't have to shell out the extra ghelt to enjoy the tremendous benefit offered by the free services available courtesy of Instantwatcher.com. The biggest benefit being that you now can actually find out every single movie that Netflix has to offer for instant streaming rather than having to rely on the significantly reduced number of titles that Netflix makes known are available on their "Watch Instantly" pages.
