Despite the recent perceived faux-paux by Netflix, this service is really awesome.  Not only do they have something like 50K titles for viewing as DVD, but they have over 10K titles for instant view, which now includes: Tales from EarthSea (anime based on Ursula K. LeGuinn's novel), Planet of the Apes (The 1968 version starring Charleton Heston, based on the 1963 novel by Pierre Boulle,

Now they even have Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, the film from 2011 based on Ayn Rand's book from 1957.  How cool is that?

Oh, and I hear that they are going to be picking up Terra Nova, which had Brannon Braga on board for it's broadcast run.

Oh, and netflix just announced that TEDtalks are now available for streaming.  They may have lost StarzPlay, but they are getting other really interesting content, like the above mentioned TEDtalks and Mushi-shi (anime).
