Netflix Will Lose Almost 2,000 Movies Wednesday 5/1

[one_voice]

Netflix's streaming catalog is about to lose nearly 2,000 movies.

As of May 1, Netflix will officially have 1,794 fewer titles in its streaming repository. Now, before you freak out too much, this isn't as bad as the Great Netflix Starzageddon of 2012. After Netflix and Starz were unable to renew their streaming agreements with one another, more than a 1,000 films — including many of the newer films in Netflix's streaming catalog — disappeared from the service.

This time, most of the titles (you can see the full list here) are inconsequential and include titles such as Caged Fury (yes, that's a real movie starring Erik Estrada) and 1998's Deep Impact. Still, we're also losing Cruel Intentions, which makes my 16-year-old heart break into thousands of tiny pieces.

1. there were seven on my Instant View list

Luckily I saw the expiration dates posted last week and got them all watched.

2. James Bond

I was going to watch the Roger Moore "James Bond" movies before they expired as I had watched the Sean Connery ones already. I couldn't do that because they were showing at the wrong speed and I found them unwatchable.

Hopefully if they ever get them back they will be at the correct speed.

The TV show "Amazing Stories" seems to have the same issue but I can tolerate rate it for 25 minutes or so.

Instantwatcher seems to be really slow, probably from heavy traffic from the news stories.

5. Just buy the James Bond Blu-Ray set.

You'll be glad you did!

3. Uh oh...lots of stuff my kids watch is on that list.

Now they'll have to go outside any play, or something!

4. I had no idea Starz owned the rights to so many movies and television shows

My son is going to be upset since a lot of what is getting cut, he watches. Hopefully NetFlix will partner up with a company that has even more titles than Starz.
