We're thrilled about the way the web is opening up new avenues of distribution for movies that aren't getting much love at multiplexes across the country -- but thanks to services like Netflix Watch Instantly, you can now stream these underappreciated films straight to your TV. We'll occasionally point you to overlooked gems you may have missed and which are now, thanks to the wonders of the web, only a click away. Hooray for living in the future.
The Orphanage
This sophisticated and supremely creepy ghost story was Spain's entry for the 2007 Academy Awards. The debut by Juan Antonio Bayona also stars the beautiful Belén Rueda and Geraldine Chaplin. Read Jürgen's review and watch The Orphanage in HD on Netflix.
Troubled Water
We rooted for Eric Poppe's riveting drama at the 2008 Hamptons Film Festival -- where it promptly won the Golden Starfish and the Audience award, only to disappear. If you blinked, you might have missed the one-time screening at the Scandinavian House. Luckily, this tale of crime and redemption, starring the wonderful Trine Dyrholm, is now available online. Read Marcy's review and watch Troubled Water on Netflix.
Priceless
If creepy and gripping don't do it for you, maybe you're in the mood for a glimmering French trifle. Priceless, starring Amelie's Audrey Tautou, is a forgettable but enjoyable romance about lovers and gigolos set in the glitzy hotels of the Cote d'Azur. If you're snowed in like us, this might be just the way to spend the day. Read Jürgen's review of Priceless and watch it on Netflix.

Thanks SO MUCH for this timely notice of great movies available online for watching;
I just hooked up my Roku box a few days ago, subscribed to Netflix specifically for the instant downloading feature, and was so surprised that it was so effortless to get it streaming movies to me.
Now you’ve given me a bit of guidance as to what to watch from my Roku/Netflix combo; with so many thousands of movies etc available, it’s a bit daunting at first, to find the best movies to watch.
So thank you again, for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks for providing movies online on these sites. You can also include mymovees.com in that list, good site to watch online movies
