The Best Way I Found to Keep Up with Netflix

Keeping up with Netflix may sound like an easy task, you may think that Netflix would want to show what would be worth watching.  Sure you can feel up your Instant Que with a litany of mindless television but to see what is worth seeing, I found www.instantwatcher.com.  They have some kind of agreement or technology that pulls Netflix data and searched items and filters into genre and popularity.  Toy Story 3 showed up streamable on this site a full week before it came up any Netflix recommended pages.  That is how I keep up with instant streams, for blockbusters that's actually surprisingly a little more manual, and I don't see them making a priority.  You could be proactive, which can be a disservice,  lets say you want to watch "Megamind" you pull it up in Netflix before it is available and click Save, that keeps it, but then puts it in your Que, which is good, but defaults to bottom, which is bad.  To make it easier to see when a DVD finally makes it through the 28 days after it has been on DVD I do two things.  First,  I keep "one" of my homepages as Netflix's most recent DVD arrivals shown here and every Tuesday I try to check the site and update my DVD Que with anything I see worth watching. I also subscribe to redbox emails, not for renting at redbox, but I know anything Redbox has available Netflix now does also.  I hope this helps.  It really shouldn't have to be this way-  but this is the best way.
