We wanted to know which of the IMDB Top 250 movies were available streaming on Netflix. Unable to find any sources online and unwilling to resort to manual searches, we built this page as a utility. Here it is for your benefit--free! This page works by scraping IMDB's Top 250 list and then querying each entry against Netflix's public API. NOTE: Even though we have no affiliation with them, we strongly recommend InstantWatcher.com for finding cool Netflix streaming films.
