I had not looked at this sight for a few days because I have been making my own lists from searching on the site for movies of more than 1,000,000 ratings ,100,000, 10,000, 1,000 and 100 and less. A very interesting search and find. I usually watch at least 4 or 5 instant watch movies per week. It would help if they were in categories or genres. I like reviewing movies in the 1,000 or less category because usually no one has written a review before.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by wowwee123 on July 14, 2008 at 10:37pm: Titles with less than 1,000 ratings The source for the compilation is a list of titles sorted by year --> alphabetically, and am working my way forward and am up to the early 70's.

On the homepage, you'll see a list of links, at the bottom of that list, are the links for the threads.; ▶ Reply to This

How many Instant Watch titles are we allowed in our Instant Watch queue? Is the maximum 500?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by wowwee123 on October 6, 2008 at 1:30pm: Yes, the max is 500. However you can have more in your main Queue but it won't show when it expires. Of course lists also help for overflow.; ▶ Reply to This

Does anyone know of a way to use the netflix search engine to just display IW titles? For example if I wanted to see a list of cartoons but only ones on IW is there a way to do this?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by MachZero on December 8, 2008 at 1:51pm: Not sure if this is exactly fitting to the spirit of the thread , however something that would make my IW experience better is greater notice on expire dates. For example unless a title is licensed with no expiration it should list the date at which it expires even if that date is like really long time. Lets say I have a dozen movies in my list which won't expire for at least a year but I have another dozen that expire in less than 6 months and of those ones 4 of them will expire in less than 3 months. Logically I will want to watch the ones that have the least amount of time left before they expire first. This thought has come in light of the massive number of titles that are expiring before the year is up. If about 2 months ago I had known about many of these expiring at that time I would have given priority to them rather than watching movies that still will be available beyond the 1st of the year. Any thoughts on this? Should we petition netflix to have expire dates to be shown even if the dates are a year or longer in the future?; ▶ Reply to This

I actually called up Netflix CS a while back about this and from what I understood from the conversation I had, they said that some of the "higher ups" of Netflix do have a list of when the titles will be expiring. If this is the case, then the question is how to go about having NF make this public. I agree that the time given, within the month or so, is not nearly enough to be able to watch everything one wants to.

A petition or something like that is something to think about doing.; ▶ Reply to This

Anyone know of a solution... or suggestion to fix this?

thanks!; ▶ Reply to This
