"So I'm writing a new site to browse Netflix Instant Watch movies"


  

          

Since their site sucks so horribly, horribly bad. There are GEMS on there that I literally couldn't figure out how to ever browse to...

I'd love some ideas for what you'd like to see on such a site. What don't you like about Netflix's site? What would you want to keep? What features would you like added. If you have any thoughts, or if you'd like to beta test when I've got something out (about 2 weeks for alpha) please reply below.

btw http://instantwatcher.com is similar in scope to what I would build, although I believe that site could also be massively improved.
