What Movies Are Available for Instant Viewing on the Netflix Roku?

I can not believe how many idiots, morons and Republicans said they would not have any interest in the Netflix Roku that allows you to stream movies directly to your TV because they said there was nothing on the Netflix Instant Viewing list that was worth watching. Don't think so? Check out just exactly what amazing movies and TV shows and music videos are available.

Genres Available on the Netflix Roku

Foreign Films on the Netflix Roku: What a lot of your people who are convinced that Netflix has nothing worth watching on their instant viewing list don't get is that foreign films are great and while a lot of the biggies are not yet available on Netflix, there is no Ingmar Bergman for inexplicable reasons, there are still quite a few magnificent foreign flicks.
Comedies on the Netflix Roku: Comedy is king when it comes to Netflix instant viewing choices. Okay, not really, but there are more than enough laughs to choose from on the Netflix instant viewing to make the price of their Roku device worthwhile. You may hear that there is nothing available on the Netflix instant viewing list to make it worth the expense of a Roku. You should immediately stop listening to those people.
Political Films on the Netflix Roku: Are you a political movie junkie like me? I love politics as theater and I love movies and, well, political movies are just like manna from heaven. If political movies are your thing, then you now have a perfectly reasonable excuse to convince your significant other that investing in the Netflix Roku player is a worthy expense. Soon you'll be able to enjoy a phenomenal number of political movies from the Netflix instant viewing collection on your television set by streaming to the Roku player.
Documentaries on the Netflix Roku: There is probably no better reason to purchase the Roku if you are a subscriber to Netflix than the extensive collection of documentaries available for instant viewing. After all, where are you going to see this collection of documentaries on TV if not by taking advantage of the Roku and the Netflix instant viewing option.
Science Fiction on the Netflix Roku: Thinking of buying a Roku player to watch all those instant viewing titles available from Netflix, but you can't help but wonder if you, as a science fiction fan, will find anything worthwhile? Well, you can. Oh, in the name of Heywood Floyd can you ever find some science fiction on the Netflix instant viewing list that makes the Roku worth the investment.
Family-Friendly Entertainment Available for Netflix Instant Viewing - Associated Content: When you hear people say that there is nothing worth watching on the Netflix instant viewing list so why bother investing in a Roku player, you can respond by telling them your entire family just watched an entire week's worth of TV without hearing a cuss word or seeing a naked backside or hearing sexual innuendo. If that doesn't make the price of a Roku worth it, I cannot imagine what would. These are just a few of the family-friendly movies or TV shows available on Netflix instant viewing that you can stream to your TV set via the Roku.
Hollywood Musicals Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: While Turner Classic Movies regularly airs musicals, that is the only network that does. And many video stores don't carry but the biggest names when it comes to classic musicals. Between TCM and your local video store, your sudden an inexplicable obsession with seeing a musical cannot but help remain unstrummed. Enter the Roku device from Netflix. These are a just a few of the musicals that Netflix has made available for instant viewing and streaming to your TV via the Roku.
Ten Thrillers Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: he thriller is a movie genre of shocking fluidity. What I might consider a thriller you might not. And what Netflix considers a thriller I routinely do not. But you may. If you have been told that the Netflix Roku is not worth the price because there aren't any good movies available for instant viewing, you might want to consider this list of movies that contain some titles I agree are thrillers as well as some titles that you'll never convince me are thrilling. Take a look at these and realize that there are plenty of similar titles available for instant viewing on Netflix that you can stream straight to you TV with the Roku.
Independent Films Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: After waiting the two weeks it may take for your Netflix Roku to arrive you will be chomping at the bit to put it into action. Sure, some less than intellectually gifted Cheney-heads will have laughed at you and pointed out that there is nothing worth watching available from Netflix on the instant viewing list, but you brushed them off because you know that they believe Little Miss Sunshine is the very model of an independent film; the greatest independent film of the past twenty years. Bunch of Cheney-heads. If you are a fan of independent films, this the Netflix Roku will get quite the workout after that two week long wait.
Ten Tearjerker Movies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Is your marker for a great movie based on the number of tears you shed after viewing it? Then you might want to consider purchasing one of those Roku devices that allow you to watch movies on the Netflix instant viewing list right there on your boob tube. I will refrain from terming these movies chick flicks because I consider that appellation to be one of the most demeaning and denigrating fake "genres" in the world today. Although surely there are any number of truly awful romantic comedies and dramas that fit into broad spectrum of films called chick flicks, what I have determined is that all a chick flick really means is a movie that makes the heads of too many guys hurt afterwards because they would actually have to think to enjoy it. Some of the following movies on Netflix's instant viewing list that you can watch on your Roku player don't require any thinking at all, but manage only to bring tears streaming down your face.
Ten Action Movies Available for Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Netflix is an action movie lover's paradise when it comes to flicks available for instant viewing on your television courtesy of the Roku device. All it takes to use the Roku is the ability to plunk down the inestimably affordable 99 bucks that it takes to buy a Roku (99 bucks that will almost immediately be made back by the gasoline you save because you are so busy watching all the wonderful movies and TV shows available on the Netflix instant viewing list), a TV set and a Netflix subscription that gives you at least three movies out at the same time. With a Roku you can just sit back, take the first exit off the intellectual superhighway, and let mindless violence, stone-faced actors, and car crashes wash over you in an orgiastic frenzy.
Ten Football Choices Available for Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Still wondering if you, as a football fan, should fork over the $99 required to buy a Roku in order to watch Netflix instant viewing choices on your television? The answer to this question is as easy as the answer to the question "Does Bill Belichick have to cheat in order to win." Yes, you as a football fan can find instant viewing choices on Netflix that will make the Roku purchase worth the price.
Romantic Comedies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: They used to be called screwball comedies and represented one of the greatest achievements in the art of Hollywood filmmaking. Today they are known as romantic comedies and the very best of them can't hold a candle to a merely mediocre screwball love story. Of course, that's just my opinion (though shared with anyone who has seen a healthy number of screwball comedies), and you may fully well think that comedic love stories achieved perfection not with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell but with Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock. If so, then the collection of romantic comedies available for instant viewing on Netflix may be enough to convince you to invest in the Roku device so that you can watch them on your television on those months when there is nothing worth watching on TV. And even if you do realize that today's romantic comedies pale in comparison to the screwball comedies of the past, a Roku may still be in your Netflix future.
Faith and Religion Shows and Movies You Can View Instantly On Netflix - Associated Content: Keeping in mind that I have not actually seen all of these, but am providing the service of letting you know they exist, here are a sampling of the more interesting choices that Netflix has made available to those who want to rent videos of a spiritual nature.
Courtroom Dramas Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Courtroom dramas are as dependable a Hollywood staple as actors shooting for an Oscar by playing a mental defective. The endless parade through the courtroom movie set often scales the height of greatness; too much more often it winds up being as predictable as a Dana Perino press conference. If you are a huge Law & Order fan, or just a courtroom drama fan, and you have a Netflix subscription that allows at least three movies out at once, then invest a Roku and sit back and enjoy some of the best courtroom dramas Hollywood has ever produced. Along with some of the most mediocre courtroom dramas Hollywood has ever foisted upon a lazy public.

TV on the Netflix Roku

Ten British TV Shows Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Ever since A&E decided to do away with British television imports and attempt the Herculean task of proving that reality shows about the spoiled daughter of a psychopathic Mafia Don or the adventures of has-beens who really were closer to never-wases the only place to turn for highbrow English entertainment has really been good ol' PBS. Well, what with Bush and his fraidy cat Republican and Democrat lapdogs in Congress taking money away from PBS hand over fist, even that has gotten harder. PBS Mystery is gone; it has been merged into Masterpiece Theater. For this reason alone, the Roku player that lets you stream Netflix instant viewing choices directly to your TV seems worth the price.
Ten Dr. Who Shows Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: The following is a look at just ten of the Doctor Who episodes or season discs available from Netflix for instant viewing on the Roku.
Television Dramas Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Television sucks today. Let's just admit it, shall we? Reality shows. 20 versions of CSI and 20 versions of Law & Order. The only shows on traditional network TV worth watching are The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Ugly Betty. And since TV Land actually airs classic TV shows about three hours a day now, where you going to turn for classic TV drama? The Roku player, that's where. If you plunk down the cash for the affordable Roku player you can enjoy some classic TV dramas from yesteryear via the Netflix instant viewing option.
Ten TV Comedies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: When you buy the Roku device you get to stream all of the titles available from Netflix for instant viewing directly to your TV set. Nothing beats a good laugh so there is something to be said about the worth of the Roku being connected to the number of TV comedies you can view instantly. While the pickings aren't exactly massive, the TV comedies that Netflix will allow you to stream to your Roku includes some that will appeal to a broad range of intellectual development.
The Best Anthology TV Shows Available for Netflix Instant Viewing with Your Roku - Associated Content: They don't make anthology shows any more; at least not like they used to. Netflix viewers with a Roku have the choice of watching a truly amazing series of classic anthology shows, although as of this writing the most quintessential of them all is not included. That may be a good thing, however; there is much more to anthology TV than the Twilight Zone, after all.
Cartoons and Animated Series for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: Do you love cartoons? If you love cartoons as much as I love cartoons, and the answer to that query is almost certainly to the negatory, then you now have an excuse to buy the Roku device that will allow you to stream selections from the Netflix instant viewing list directly to your TV. While it is tremendously sad that such greats as The Simpsons, King of the Hill, or Count Duckula are not available to Roku Netflix world as of yet, there are plenty of other animated TV shows that will fill those long boring hours when you can find nothing worth watching on TV, often up to 24 hours a day.

Actors Available on the Netflix Roku

Clint Eastwood Movies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make the Roku Worth the Price - Associated Content: If you would care to catch up on Clint Eastwood long storied career as both an actor and director, then buy yourself a Roku and use your Netflix subscription to revel in the fascism of Dirty Harry and the right-wing paranoia of Firefox. Alas, Eastwood's best movie ever, The Beguiled, is not available for instant viewing, but it is on Netflix so be sure to add it to your standard queue.

Directors Available on the Netflix Roku

Alfred Hitchcock Movies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing with Your Roku - Associated Content: Alfred Hitchcock was perhaps the first director to become a superstar. True, Frank Capra was the first to get his name above the title, but it can be argued that most of Capra's successes had far more to do with his enormous stars than with his name. While I personally believe that Alfred Hitchcock was overrated in a general sense, I am also a big fan of particular movies. If you already have a Netflix subscription that allows you to keep out three or more movies at a time then you should buy a Roku device to stream instant viewing choices directly to your TV. I've read a lot of ignorant people who have said the Roku is a waste of money because there are no good movies available for instant viewing from Netflix at the current time. Oh yeah, well check out what is available for your Roku just from Alfred Hitchcock!
Stanley Kubrick Movies Available for Netflix Instant Viewing that Make Roku Worth It - Associated Content: If you have a Netflix subscription that allows at least three movies out at the same time, then the purchase of a Roku device for just $99 would allow you to stream Stanley Kubrick onto your large screen TV whenever you want. Unfortunately, not all of Kubrick's films are available for Netflix instant viewing, including his two finest accomplishments, Dr. Strangelove and The Shining.
