I thought it might be fun to build a list of Netflix movies available on Watch Instantly that I enjoyed. Netflix has a Watch It Again section that you can sort by rating. From there, a little jQuery run in Firebug can quickly extract the links of all the movies I rated 4 or 5 stars (5-star entries are in bold). Here they are (list as of 8/13/2011):
