28 Great Netflix Movies you can Watch Right Now
Oct 28th, 2010 by Carlos
Netflix is a great service—the convenience of picking from millions of DVDs and having them mailed to your house is pretty cool. But what happens when you want to watch something right now?
That’s where their Watch Instantly feature comes into play. As long as you have a plan that’s $8.99 or more per month, you can stream as many movies and TV shows as you want. And if you have a Wii, PS3, X-Box 360, or any of their other supported devices, you can stream them right to your TV.
Awesome, right?
It is awesome—I’ve been watching old episodes of Intervention on my Wii for months and it’s great. I only have one problem with the service: it’s really hard to find what movies are in the Watch Instantly library. It’s not all of them and they’re not organized very well so it’s tricky to know what’s in there.
So I decided to dig into it myself and pull out 55 great movies you can watch right this minute if you already have a Netflix account. Don’t have one? Get a free, one-month trial to test it out!

Oh Shawshank! My favorite movie of all time. I’m turning it on as I type this!
Unfortunately most of these movies are not availAble to netflix subscribers in Canada The selection here sucks.
boring list. watch oldboy, exit through the gift shop,I like killing flies and rise of the footsoilder and leave hot shots for the morons.
Exit through the gift shop is a story about a french poser trying to be a graffiti artist… Dont waste your time on this Toy documentary..
However, Oldboy is an awesome flick… check it out…
The point of the movie isn’t that he’s not a french poser, it is putting him in the light, and allowing you to decide what true art is, if it still exists.
