Not a bad idea. Instant Netflix has been one of the services I've used in the last year that has really curbed my piracy (with Spotify being the other one). I've managed to finally catch some movies I've been meaning to see for some time, but never really felt like going through the effort of dragging my ass down to the video store and renting it. That said though, Instant Netflix can be a bit of a dumping ground for a lot of rubbish while all the good stuff is withheld for the more traditional mail service. Despite that, there are some genuinely great movies and TV shows on it so I think it's worth devoting a thread to help people share what movies are good, which ones are surprisingly good, what Netflix recommends to you, how many ridiculous sub categories come up, etc.

I think it would also be good if you would tell which region or country you are in because I know that some movies and shows aren't available in every country.

I'll start it off.



Spaced

If you enjoyed some of the latter Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg material like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and have only heard about Spaced, now is your chance to fill in a hole. All 14 episodes of the comedy series is currently up on Netflix in the US and holy crap this is easily one of the best shows I've seen in recent memory. It really reminds me of early Scrubs with its bizarre, non-sequitur, surreal humour and tendency to have cut-away gags, but remembers what Seth MacFarlene forgot with making these cut-away gags integral to the character's development. Definitely check this one out.
