indie like sony pictures classics and fox searchlight and focus? because all those go to starz and hbo since they have the right to those but 3/4 of new movies on netflix are true indie and or exploitation. and didn't they just sign several movies from TWC?. so i doubt it.

if i have one resolution for netflix it would be for the consumer to stop thinking that netflix streaming is the be all to end all. it's a network. like fox , cbs , tnt , usa , hbo , showtime. movies are going to come and go. they are going to get some good ones and bad ones. they are going to get good prints and bad prints. the only reason i signed up for netflix 2 years ago was for the streaming. i do have problems with the service like the new release section should rotate better. older titles that just came on should get a section. but outside of that it still a great service.
