Hundreds of movies being removed from Netflix instant watch

This was done either on Christmas Eve or Christmas day, but I just noticed last night that over 100 films and TV shows in my instant watch queue now have removal dates of 1/1/2010. I'm really disappointed, seeing as how I can maybe watch 15 of them, and that's if I fit in 3 movies a day. I hope they have some great new stuff to take the place of what is being removed.
 
yeah, I have about 20 movies ready to get removed, luckily nothing I'm even crazy interested in seeing... sad to see the Bugs Bunny movies go, those are always fun to throw on at random times.
 
Guess what? Get used to it. I've been a member for a little over 5 months now and have had over 150 movies removed due to them expiring. Don't know if its licensing or whatever but it sucks and now if you look at the instant watch selection it blows! I am cancelling my account in a few days when it's time to make payment as they have not updated their selection with anything good. They are putting out quantity instead of quality. Even getting movies in the mail takes 3 days when the warehouse that ships is only about 8 hours away and it should really only take a day or 2 at the most. Damn netflix was a let down and it was just hype.
 
This is nothing new, unfortunately. It's been that way with the instant streaming for as long as I have been a member and probably before that. The worst was when the feature first debuted on the 360, and Sony was not gonna let their content be available for viewing on the console. I do agree with the above comment about quantity over quality. The vast majority of the stuff I see popping up as "new" is just direct-to-DVD-type junk.
 
I'm thinking of canceling my subscription as well and just go the Redbox route(since I can rarely get a new release and can't find older movies I have not seen).
 
I don't know if it's much to worry about yet - I've had Jericho in my queue for months now, and every month it says it's being taken off yet every month it gets renewed.

Are you saying it takes three days for Netflix shipping out a disc after receiving it or does it take three days from when you mail it out? Three days is the fastest you can ever expect with USPS 1st class mail. No way it can be faster than that.
Day 1: You mail it out.
Day 2: Netflix receives the disc and then sends out the next disc.
Day 3: You receive the next disc.

That is how long it takes Netflix with me. It does suck that the licenses for online expire. I don't like it, but the studios must not want some titles to be on the instant service permanently.
 
I can't remember much about what they did last year, since I was new to the service, but this is by far the largest mass removal I've seen during my membership. Like JJ said, though, half the expiration dates get removed by the time the movies are supposed to be taken off.

Good luck with the Redbox route. Movies are barely there. And who knows how long people will keep them out. If you wait a month or so, you might get lucky with a new release

How about when they had that big fallout wit Sony?
 
It happens all the time. Movies comeback when a new contract gets signed. It just seems like a lot because the 1st of the new year is upon us.

Actually, it's not bad. I've been able to get new releases a week after they've hit the street. A dollar a day is the cheap ass way to go. I've seen 4 summer blockbuster movies in 2009 for a total cost of $3. [Redbox sends you a free promo code to confirm your email address for paperless receipts]

I just use my Blockbuster gamepass honestly. I Think it pays for it's self in about 4 days honestly considering I'm back and forth there about 5 times a day. I do like the $5 used DVD's from redbox

I'd still rather have movies sent to my house/instantly available rather than having to waste time/gas/effort going to get one/returning it. Redbox has its strengths, but overall, I prefer the Netflix system. For whatever reason, I don't have as big of a problem getting new releases as some people (always have my queue filled with "coming soon" movies far in advance)...or maybe my expectations just aren't unrealistic. And for $10 a month (which is what...one meal out?), it's almost impossible to NOT get my money's worth.

The instant streaming isn't perfect, but I've heard it's actually supposed to be expanded in 2010. And the fact that I can watch Mythbusters, Survivorman, LOST, Heroes, The Office, South Park, etc...plus A TON of classic movies, with just a few clicks is easily worthwhile. Even if I only rented 5 disc movies in a month, that would equal Redbox if I valued the instant streaming at $5. In my opinion, that's completely reasonable. If you're not getting your money's worth out of Netflix, you're just not doing it right. Either that, or you're not a cheap ass. You're a tight ass. :)
 
the worst part about the expiring TV shows is Netflix will keep them on there but many of the episodes will not be available to stream anymore.

It will say "disc only" and you have to request the physical DVD.
But it's kind of random - so you may get a disc in the mail and in actuality only watch 1 episode since the other ones will be available to stream.
 
I'm happy to see Dirty Jobs on there now. Makes me very happy. I think since I have had Netflix, I have had maybe 3 movies on disc. I wish there just a streaming option but oh well.
 
Is there any common ground on what's being taken off, ie a particular studio or newer TV shows that are still available on DVD at retail?
 
When I first signed up again after thanksgiving, it took 3 days for a movie to arrive. Another example is when I returned a movie and got an email notification stating they did receive the movie. From there, it took 3 days to arrive to me which is crap because my father worked (retired now) from the usps and he knows the mailing system and even said himself that 3 days for a movie to arrive to me is ridiculous. When houston, texas is about 9 hours away from me it shouldn't take 3 days for a movie to arrive c'mon be realistic. The "classic" selection is horrible and at most they only have about 20 movies that are decent to watch and i've seen all I can and still nothing left to watch. Everyone I know is cancelling and just going with redbox or getting their unlimited movie pass rental @ hollywood or blockbuster.

Get the hell out of here. There is some netflix propaganda going on in this thread.


Netflix is a phenomenal service with barely any draw backs. If you are not getting your movies within 1 to 2 days of putting yours in the mail box you are the minority not the majority.

And switching to redbox? Isnt that the one where you have to drive to a box outside of a store and get it from a snack machine? Although highly successful now the push is for digital distribution and streaming content no way it has lasting power. Blockbuster is in a constant loop of bankruptcy but at least they are smart enough to go the netflix route with a online service.

I think some of you are a little spoiled, neither Blockbuster or Hollywood video even compare to Netflix. Most of the instant watch movies are ones that you wouldnt dare pay money to rent at any other store because you either never heard of it and only mildly interested from the description or its flat out to hard to get multiple disks.

Over the last 2 month I watched every season of lost, how could I have done that with Blockbuster or Redbox with paying a arm and a leg or driving constantly and hoping they have each disk in good condition. And now I can catch cool shows like Dirty Jobs, That crab show (forgot the name) the IT Crowd and tons of other shows that you couldnt get anywhere else.

You are simply insane if you think there Redbox or blockbuster even holds a candle to netflix.......not if they only rented out games.

Pretty much this. I've been a subscriber for years and it's been nothing but awesome. It's the only service I've ever used that has gone down and price over time but has added more features. Streaming over the Xbox is pretty much just a bonus for me as I was already a subscriber and a Live user.

Regardless, I've got 87 things in my instant queue and 3 of them expire on the first. There's a lot of good stuff on the service and it would take me months just to watch the stuff I'm interested in.

Besides, this is just deja vu. It happened last year and most of the stuff had their licenses renewed shortly after.

Hell, if you think the turn around time is bad for Netlfix (even though it's as fast as it can be through the mail), sign up for Gamefly. I was lucky to get a game back in the same week I returned one.
 
I don't really have a problem with this.. I usually get movies in the mail two days after I send them back and I'm sure they'll put newer things in the instant watch.
 
No real complaints about Netflix here either. It's not perfect but nothing annoys me about it.

The fact that you can turn your subscription on and off at will from the website is great. If I think the current streaming selection stinks and there's no DVDs I want to receive by mail, I just shut it down for a month or three.

I have great luck with RedBox(around 5 in the town I live in) last week I picked up District 9, The Hangover, and UP.

My dvd collection is pretty large and I only picked up Netflix to watch some TV shows I have missed. I might keep it I might not but it's better Blockbuster online by a long shot.

Which is why I stated what I did. The streaming selection is okay for tv shows but they have yet to update any from The Office, Weeds, South Park, Heroes and a few others. Lost? LOL..I don't watch that but to each their own. By the way, I was mainly talking about MOVIES not tv shows as far as their selection goes and you can't tell me they have alot of good movies for instant watch. I think the best movies they have are pineapple express & bad boys that I can think of off the top of my head. Oh and by the way, hm redbox is 3 minutes away and blockbuster is 5 minutes away from my home..so yeah, the drive isn't killing me and it's a way better selection and alot faster than waiting around 3 days to watch 1 movie. I get regular coupons and discounts for each so it's not like I am going to pay full price for either or. This is cag, don't forget and knowing people has its perks and if I ever have any problems I just call them and get credited or whatever it may be. Netflix does not pro rate you a refund if you cancel within say 3 weeks for example. However, they will pro rate and charge you upfront if you upgrade your plan, add blu ray instead of regular dvd, etc. Oh the irony..

Dude, its like you are trying to hate netflix but cant come up with any good reasons.

There are over 17,000 instant watch movies, even if only 1% of them were good that would be 1,700 which would take you over 130 days to watch. Maybe you should think outside of the, "newest blockbuster" and actually take the time to read about movies that are not advertised a 1000x a day. All of this brought to you at no extra charge.


And how in the world did you get that Redbox and blockbuster have a better selection? Can 17,000 movies fit in a redbox? No. How about a blockbuster? No. And that is only there instant watch section....not counting that fact that I can get virtually any dvd made in the last 4 decades.

At any given time there are around 200 dvds in my netflix list along with 100 or so instant watch movies....there is not enough time in the year for me to get through all of that. Are you that impatient that you need District 9 on the very first day? Because I had to wait a whole 3 days from release for netflix to send to me.....I guess I could have complained about not having it quicker but the 600 other movies I could have watched held me over.

Its cool to not like netflix but the logic behind your reason are stupid as hell.

since everyone has different tastes in viewing, preferences, and free time; there are as many solutions, so no single delivery method works for all.

btw, just saw District 9, it was great. This is how a sci-fi game based movie should be made.
 
Yeah, this happens all the time. They take some stuff down, and put other stuff up.

I think it's licensing issues and some studios only let them put up certain films for a certain amount of time etc.

So it's not a fault of Netflix, just some studios don't want their films available for streaming indefinitely.


In any case, I have no complaints with Netflix, and never have. I get my movies weekdays after mailing them (mail on Monday get new one on Wednesday). And I love the convenience. Red box I don't bother with as the selection is limited and its a hassle to go to the box two days in a row vs. the convenience of discs in the mail and free streaming. The streaming selection is very good IMO--at least if you care about watching more than just recent Hollywood movies as it is lacking on that front.
 
Yeah, I have a lot of good looking films on my instant watch list. That's why I'm unhappy with them taking so many off. Netflix is mostly great, though the connection speed has been slow since Christmas.

you're comparing the shitty selection that netflix is offering in their streaming selection vs the newer movie selection @ blockbuster and offered in redbox. that doesn't match up and netflix doesn't compare. they say they offer 17,000 movies but how many of those are worth it? netflix is basically quantity over quality so they can offer a million movies but if only a few of them are appealing then it's pointless. I have yet to see you or anyone else name good movies that are comparable. All I see are a bunch of classic, old movies and that's it. The best thing they can offer right now for instant streaming is TV Shows and even those aren't the newer, updated ones. Waiting 3 days for a movie to arrive means basically that you are getting 2 movies per week x 4 weeks a month=8 movies a month and that's if you are lucky that the availability is now. I guess you're one of the lucky ones who gets their movies shipped fast in the mail or you've got all the time in the world to wait for 1 movie to arrive and have nothing else to do so you don't mind that time consuming. I don't know about you but I don't want to wait 3 days for a movie to arrive, see it, ship it back and wait another 3 days..that's basically almost a week doing that. Might as well not go to the movie theatres when a new movie is released and wait for it to go to the $1 movie as well since we'll use your logic.

With statements like the second, that's why you don't like it and why we won't bother with recommendations.

If all you want to watch are current hollywood movies, then yeah the streaming will let you down.

But it's great for those of us that like classics, indie films, foreign films, documentaries etc.

If someone only watches current Hollywood stuff, then yeah any mail rental service probably isn't worth it vs. just using Redbox.

I like a wide array of film, and work a lot so I watch 1-3 movies a week tops, so I'm fine just getting 1 or 2 movies a week. Hell I often keep one netflix rental for a couple weeks before getting around to watching it. The subscription fee is pocket change, and I love always having something new to watch when I find the time be it a disc or one of the 100+ of things I have on my Instant Watch queue at any given time. Vs. hassling with having to go out to a Redbox twice and select from recent hollywood movies--most of which I have no interest in.
 
To those who complain about netflix. 1. If you sign up,return a movie, have a movie shipped around Thanksgiving it is going to take a couple of days. It was a holiday. If you get 1 out at a time, learn to cycle so you get 2 movies per week.

2. Imdb.com and Hulu.com offer new episodes legally of pretty much every tv show. Even the network sites normally have the last 5 episodes. There are a ton of legal sites to use to watch tv shows online.

3. If you are getting burned out on Netflix, cancel for a month or two. Let some newer movies build up to justify rejoining that way you aren't watching stuff you really didn't want.

4. 1 out a time plus instant is 8 bucks a month. How can you complain about a service where it costs 1 dollar per movie for the month and a ton of instant watching?

I do wish that Netflix could up their instant querie and start to get rid of the physical dvd's.
 
I'm a tacit complainer. I understand that some people like it, fine, use it to your heart's content. For me, it didnt quite do it. I dont know why it's so hard to believe that the service isnt for every one. But I'll talk to the points:

1) The best thing about Netflix was the turnaround. If I got a movie on Monday, watched it and mailed it on Tuesday, they would receive it and ship out another on Wednesday and the new one would be in hand on Thursday. However, this was no different from Blockbuster. But still nice.

2) The big strike *against* Netflix. TV shows are available other places and that may be the bulk of what interests me in the Instant Viewing catagory.

3) meh. Nice suggestion I suppose....

4) The complaint is that 8 bucks could be just as well spent @ a Redbox and get the same number of physical movies. However, in order to make sure you get that 2 movies a week, you have to commit to watching one at least during the week and can only have one on the weekend. This wouldnt be such a big deal if the selection of Instant Watch movies was better.

While they have a vast quantity of content, there was very little that interested me. I *did* find one gem in "Thank You for Smoking", which I would not have watched if not for the instant feature, but that was cause it was one of the few things that seem remotely interesting (Coincidentally, it was on cable not long after that).

Additionally, it bothers me that unless you have a current subscription, you cannot check to see what is offered via Instant Watch on their website. I guess they dont *have* to advertise that, but it would seem to me that this is something they would want to brag about: their sheer volume of content. Or are they simply trying to hide that most of this Instant Watch are turds you wouldn't even use to torture you worst enemies (/end overt cynicism).

But if they upped their Instant Watch (and I could actually know about it via CAG or somewhere else since you cant see it on their website ;)), I'd hop back on in a second. Blockbuster has made so many cost cutting changes that I've had to dump them so I'm open to other options. However, I doubt very seriously that we'd ever see that happen, especially on the 360. I mean, why would they allow you to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for free via Netflix when they are trying to rent you that same flick for 3 or 4 dollars US (320 or 480 Bill Bucks)?

A side question, can you get 5.1 audio via Netflix? (just wondering; T.I.A.)
 
Dude,

http://www.streamingsoon.com/

It tells you all the movies that are being put up and taken down. Also, I just simply dont get the knock on the instant watch movies. THERE ARE OVER 17,000 fuckING MOVIES! It is impossible to not find at least 2- 500 hundred movies that you personally would find great.

Also, does it really matter if all 17,000 movies are shit? No because thats not all they offer, instant watch is a FREE service (I dont recall my bill going up when they added it) that they offer ON TOP OF BEING ABLE TO GET EVERY MOVIE THAT IS RELEASED!

Its not like you have to choose instant watch over renting movies you get both for the same price. I will just shrug my shoulders to this because it still sounds like made up reason to not like netflix just for the sake of saying you dont like something.
 
It's all licensing crap. For those that didn't hear WB just inked a deal with Netflix that New Releases won't be sent out until they have been available at retail for 28 days.

Don't blame Netflix as much as the publishers. Like the poster above, when the NXE first came out (early access got to watch them for a few days), there were a ton of movies removed b/c Sony didn't want them on Xbox.

Again, you're in denial and are not respecting other peoples opinions and point of views. Seems like you're the real upset person in the conversation and just need to let it go. I cancelled my subscription and don't miss it. I might get it back in 2-3 months because by then, hopefully they'll have a new and better movie selection for instant watch. Remember, instant watch on netflix is pure quantity over quality. I mainly signed up for netflix for the instant watch and even though you state there are "over 17,000 movies" most of them ain't worth a crap. I still haven't had anyone name me some pretty good movies from those 17,000 so what you are saying is irrelevant. I named a few I liked so why don't you? It's as if you're getting paid by netflix to defend them or you work there or something else. Just let it go...

Netflix is limited to what their partners will allow them to add to the streaming selection. And there are plenty of quality films in there. You might not like a lot of them or be interested in watching a lot of them, but I know I do. I have over a hundred things in my instant queue.
 
Are all the movies on this streaming list available on the 360? If not, is there a list posted somewhere of what is available? I see some great movies on netflix.com that say they're available for streaming, but I'd like to know before I join.
 
I could be wrong, but I don't think there is currently any content that is not available on the 360. When the streaming first appeared on the console, Sony did pull a bunch of their content, but that was soon worked out. Since then, I have never encountered anything on my instant watch queue that was not available on the 360.
 
Thanks. Turns out that was true. This service is amazing. I've got 38 things in my queue already. I doubt if I'll actually "check out" a movie through the mail...

Been there, done that. Much better alternative for me. Especially with a compulsive fiance that doesn't want to wade through the selections to find something.

Here's 12 more than pretty good films of the 17,000. And there are plenty more.

Pan's Labyrinth
The Usual Suspects
Full Metal Jacket
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The King of Kong: A fist full of Quarters
Dr. Strangelove
Taxi Driver
Frozen River
Bladerunner
Eraserhead
A Clockwork Orange

Also, all 5 seasons of lost in HD, commercial free was fantastic for me.
 
^Yes, I'm really getting into Lost (starting season 4 now) due to instant stream. Honestly, I find myself being more interested in the TV they have on there, rather than the movies. Starting to get into 30 Rock as well.
