Those count as rentals, pretty much everything is allowed to be rented out. Streaming needs separate rights and are much more difficult.
Is there good rotation with content though? I heard Netflix will get licenses for content with high viewership and then let those licenses expire once interest drops off. As this is Day 1 of life with Netflix, can expect good quality new releases to come through on a regular basis?

No there is little rotation. There is more focus on getting stuff that is popular but overall there is little change.

There are good months and bad months. It's all licensing, plus they're competing with Amazon and other streaming services for exclusive titles. Netflix is really about binge-watching TV shows. Movies are just the icing on the cake.
I'm fine with that - I got it for TV shows.

With Hola Unblocker you should be set, with Canada, Sweden, Luxembourg, Germany, Finland, Mexico, etc. - covers pretty most of the top shows on TV.
This site is decent in finding stuff worldwide:
http://netflixaroundtheworld.com/lists/popular-on-netflix
But it has some inaccuracies. Winter Soldier, for example, isn't available anywhere.
Awesome. I'm using Hola for US content. Wasn't aware of the regional disparity and will take advantage of it.
Gallowwalkers : Pretty boring snipes zombie/western
Forget me Not: average movie thats goes through a group of teens that screwed over a teen, i feel it really missed the boat on becoming a much better film giving the plot.
You're Next: Hits #1 on new horror movies ive seen so far this month. Definitely give this a view, good gore and kills and a decent story for a horror film.

Yeah my wife is excited. Although it's only 3 out of 6 seasons. "Buying & Selling with The Property Brothers" is also up there too, so that's a nice bonus.

Finished up The Walking Dead S4. Great season with two weak episodes. The first one
The season finale being the second one. I thought it was weak ass hell. But I'm guessing they had to set everything up. Going to be a long wait for next season.
I loved this film. Especially the music. It went really well with the scenes.
when it was just Carl and Rick was boring.

The Devil is a Part-Timer (anime) is pretty damn hilarious. Did not expect it to be so entertaining. The whole Satan flipping burgers thing is brilliant.
Next 3 in my marathon
The Prophecy 2: A lil bit less average than the 1st, Really wondering why they casted Walken for the first 2 films for that role.
The House of the Devil: Not intentual watching another Ti West film, but it came up via netflix roulette. Start out so slowly, like the movie is idk 1 h 30ish? And I bet till the last 20 minutes nothing of note occurred. Decent movie still tho
Elvira Mistress of the Darkness: Rather cheesy but still slightly appealing.

If you keep watching, keep us updated haha.
I watched both seasons....
I still haven't made it past episode 5. I have tried twice now lol.
Four minutes into the third episode and it's gotten even dumber. But I will continue.

Yeah I stopped watching my first time after ep 2 I think and thought this is turrible.
Some reason gave it another go, it's not a good show lol but for some reason I kept watching s1. Went on to watch s2 and thought this is turrible lol.
.......but I'll probably check out a s3.
It's one of those shows I'll watch but I know it's not good, it can get super cheesy (not in a interesting or cool way).
Lmao if you keep watching, wait until you get to s2😳 -_-
S1 had a kinda cool twist though
Wow, thanks for this!

I remember loving this as a kid even though I probably didn't get most of the real jokes. Haven't seen it since the early 90s. Wouldn't mind seeing it again.
Cross posting from the Horror thread:
Carrie ('76): It is a different kind of horror movie, more of a supernatural thriller than horror. Sissy's performance is a the main reason to watch it. I thought she was excellent. The movie is a slow burn, so if you hate those, I would probably avoid it.
Carrie ('13): Not only is it a terrible remake, it is a terrible movie. I usually like Chloe Moretz and Julianne Moore, but they were both horrible in this. Especially Moore. The film is almost a shot for shot of the original (lots of lines from the original too). It never really tries to be its own film. Avoid.
Pumpkinhead is in Netflix Canada.

Thanks, GK!
I'm on the eigth episode right now. This show is amazing. I mean it's really bad, it really sucks, it's really boring at times, but at the same time it's really entertaining, great even.
That said, I hope everyone who didn't wash his hands (after using the toilet) a few episodes back gets his punishment, if possible by the black guy that had to clean up the mess.

Great horror movie. I loved, loved the creature design. Definitely watching it for the Horror marathon.

Actually saw this last night, really dug it. I can see why people could be put off but the atmospheric slow burn really worked for me
Finished the first season of Hemlock Grove. What a shit show. Will still watch the second season, but I think I need a break from all this stupid shit for now.
It's a bit of a shame. I like some of the actors and ideas, I like the setting, but the show never really manages to find the balance. It's all this stuff thrown together and it doesn't quite work that well.

Nice November slate.
Supernatural Activity: Knew going into this it'd be bad, But wasnt expecting that much bad.
Resolution: Pretty good movie on friend trying to get his meth'd friend straight and clean and weird shit happening along the way
Grabbers: Possible my first Irish made film, unsure. Would have to poke around around hard I reckon. Decent though. Kinda up Tremors alley with part comedy/part creature
I sell the dead: Decent as well, enjoyed the setting of the movie
Torment: Decent movie involving a family and a crazy cult like group.

For the life of me I can't understand why people like Troll Hunter and why it's considered a horror movie. There's nothing compelling or even remotely horror about it. I've tried three times to sit through it. I fell asleep the first two and walked away bored the third time.

I fell asleep while watching this one too. Still one of the better found footage films but I'd find it hard to recommend.

I liked it, but I wouldn't call it a horror movie as such.

Troll Hunter is awesome. I love found footage style films and there have been a ton of them since Paranormal Activity did well (Blair Witch is easily the first hit movie with that style but it had died down until PA hit with it). Troll Hunter just nails the style of the film and was super entertaining.
