That is insane. Take a picture? There isn't a 'press X(or Y) to add' option either?

I'll try to take a photo later as I'm at work. There's just 'A' to 'B' to go back and 'Y' to search. The search feature is crap as well in as far as it is a single line of the alphabet with space and delete options. It isn't even as "good" as the 360's QWERTY keyboard - and you can't use Smartglass to enter text.

The only reason I use 360 as my Neflix player is that it's the easiest way to use DNS re-routing to access American content. Otherwise, I'd be using the Apple TV app.

Interesting to note, I just scrolled over a movie that expires tomorrow and it told me on the actual netflix instant watch site. Something new? or always been like this?

^It has been that way for awhile. I think it puts up the notice two weeks before it is set to expire.

Having a problem with the Xbox Netflix app. Since yesterday, whenever I select the app I automatically get disconnected from Xbox Live and I can't navigate through the dashboard. When I bring up the Xbox guide to reconnect to Live, the console freezes and I have to reset it from the console.

Anyone know what this is or experienced it before?

EDIT: Nevermind, deleting the app and downloading it again seems to have done the trick.

Well, I can confirm that there doesn't seem to be a queuing option on the 360 Neflix app. If it was there before, it has been “hidden” or removed completely. / Thread Derail

It's not there at first, you need to highlight a title until the cover art expands and changes to a screenshot from the movie, then you get the option to add to your queue by pressing 'X'.

Terms of Endearment is one of my personal faves. Fantastic performances throughout and a story that pretty much anyone can relate to in one way or another.

Hey, that movie was surprisingly good. A little great, even. Gene Hackman's the best, as always -- and a really good last third, which is where a lot of movies get weaker, not stronger.

The facial recognition software is pretty outrageously dated, though. :)

He-Man(2002) is on Netflix! Everyone watch this to see how reboots should be done. Not like Thundercats which was shitty in comparison.

So, thanks to those who recommended Cashback. A unique and sweet film with some great eye candy to boot - good stuff. I especially like the art school student stuff - something I can personally relate to that you don't see in many films or TV shows.

Monster(2003) is excellent. One of the only films to ever make me tear up too, and I never cry. Damn.

However, on that note, are there any good homosexual romance films on Netflix? Preferably one that doesn't make me extremely depressed.

Dragonslayer is an excellent fantasy flick from Paramount/Disney. Great stuff. Wore out my VHS tape of it when I was a kid.

Hi everyone-how does a US netflix subscriber access the UK library? My friend hasn't seen Downton Abbey Season 2 and for some reason it's not on US Netflix yet.

Amazon locked up the series domestically. The first season is the last Netflix will have, and will be taken down eventually.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Fuck yeah Countdown to Liquor Day is fucking awesome.

I'll have to check out Tremors, haven't seen it in forever. Hope I like it as much as I did as a kid.
