Although Netflix lost several great flicks as of the new year, there are a ton of great movies and television shows that have been added to Netflix Instant Streaming library as of January 1st. Some of these films have been available before on Netflix and are returning to the service, others are appearing for the first time.
It is sometimes hard to cut through Netflix’s browsing functionality, especially when trying to locate newly added movies to watch, so I’m cutting through the dreck and highlighting some great titles to add to your queue that are now available.
