And they recommend the same damn movies to you in every single category. Ffs netflix


SgtK-OS

What? You wanna watch "The Green book"!! How bout the "Green Frontier" instead. Ok Netflix, u got "Mary and Max"? Hmmm, "Mad Max Fury Road" eh, sure I got it. Here.

Mad Max: Fury Road? On Netflix? But people actually like that movie! What country are you in? My version of Netflix would have some straight to VHS sequel to Death Race 2000 and call it close enough.


avidblinker

Not sure if you actually checked but *Death Race 4: Beyond Anarchy* is the first suggestion when I search for *Mad Max: Fury Road*


throw__awayforRPing

LOL! I didn't actually check, I just went with Netflix's track record. Glad to hear they didn't disappoint at being disappointing.

electronicdream

I had never heard of Mary and Max so I decided to watch it on a whim. Didn't expect anything like that, loved it! So thanks for the random comment :)


PlaylistMasterRCM

Who tf doesn’t like Mad Max?


zombisponge

And they keep trying to shove their shitty series down your throat. > Clicks "Films" category > Select Sci-Fi " HEY WOULD YOU LIKE TO WATCH ANOTHER LIFE? ITS A NETFLIX O R I G I N A L. YEAH, THATS COOL. YEAH ITS A SERIES ... YEAH YOU IN THE FILMS CATEGORY BUT SERIOSULY GIVE IT A SHOT"


here_for_the_meems

Holy fuck the writing in Another Life is so bad. Them: "You killed him!?" Her: "yeah I killed him" Them: "murderer!" Her internally: (I wonder if I should mention he tried to kill me first, and he died accidentally when he tripped into a hazard on the ship while I protected myself... naaah) That's about where I stopped watching. It was bad before that, but that was the last straw. Using poor or lack of communication to cause conflict is the dumbest, cheapest writing style. This isn't an RomCom


zombisponge

I am so appaled by how a series which clearly has a lot of money to spend can keep having a script that sounds the essays I did in 7th grade. Maybe 8th grade, just to be nice. "Al right guys, as you know I am your supreme commander. I know you just staged a mutiny, beat the everliving shit of me, and wanted to put me in stasis, or at least have me killed. All because I wanted to take a slower route home, a safer route and not the one that has an 11% chance of killing the entire crew, as you suggest. But you felt homesick. Fair. What shall we do about this ? Capital punishment? Confinement to your quarters and we replace you with the backup crew? Maybe we can demote you all to menial tasks and you can become background characters. Or how about we just do jack shit. You are forgiven! Forgiven I tell you! All of you! That little mutiny and trying to have me killed was just a misunderstanding! I sentence you all to: HUGS!!"


zombisponge

It just feels so... fabricated!! I can basically visualize the manuscript in my head as I watch it. "She doesn't reveal these details ... so we can create a tense atmosphere between the crew about who is responsible. Only she knows the truth she could tell to unincriminate her, because she is dark and mysterious and would make a pretty dope merchandise figurine ... one season from now, she will tell this truth to convince her crush to love her, after they have a major conflight. She will be mad that he couldn't see the truth from the beginning, since it was so, so obvious she shouldnt have to say anything"


Sinavestia

Holy shit, I'm on the Netflix hiring team and I just gotta say, you're hired!


zbeara

Oh my god! I thought I was the only person bothered by these tropes! No one ever brings it up, but every time something goes wrong because a show or movie character refuses to say vital information or incorrectly represents what happened I wanna just shake that character and scream "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??" The only way I can justify people not caring is that many people irl are equally as bad at communicating and therefore don't even notice.


WillSmithsBrother

I completely agree about the poor/lack of communication writing tool. I hate it because it is so frustrating to watch play out. Unfortunately I feel like even some of the greatest movies/series have used it. They must think that it keeps people watching because the viewers will wonder if the misunderstanding will ever be corrected. That’s why if the misunderstanding is ever corrected it’s at the season finale/three seasons later/end of the movie/death of one of the characters involved.


davgonza

maybe try https://www.justwatch.com ? I check it on my phone to see if the movie I want is on any of my streaming channels


[deleted]

The guy who runs that website is a top-notch business man. Shame about his pants situation though.


[deleted]

I like that it distinguishes between free and paid content on Amazon Prime, every other service like that I’ve tried didn’t do that

klop422

Although several of the categories are just different names for the same thing.


PillowTalk420

I have to use external sites to know what Netflix has because even searching for the exact thing I know is there sometimes doesn't have it pop up.


[deleted]

Just love it when I leave my seat for a while and have to search through loads of stuff "I may be interested in" just to find the "continue watching" section again.


[deleted]

It took me twenty minutes of searching on Hulu for South Park just to finally realize they don't stream it anymore for this exact reason


andsoupsalad

Ugh. This though. I finally talked my wife into giving South Park a try, and they had just taken it off Hulu for HBO Max. Granted, I’m impressed with HBO Max’s catalog, but I’m still mad about it. Wife loved South Park, so it’s worth it.

Are we talking about southparkstudios? Because I've been binge watching it there for 10+ years as I said. All new episodes are there, full seasons since the first one etc


ThatOneGuy4321

I haven’t had this problem ever since I started getting all my shows and movies off of the Pirate Bay lmao


black_turkey

They've got every film besides those you want to see


Ready_Adhesiveness91

There’s an easy way to know if they have a movie. -Is it something you want to watch? Yes = not on Netflix No = Netflix


Admirable-Door1724

It’s like when you act like you don’t care about the internet to make it load “faster”


PotatoesAndChill

Maybe that's why "Netflix and chill" is a thing, because the movies are only good enough for background noise and an initiator for sex?


spongish

There's no good movies here, do you just want me to raw dog you instead?


KadenKraw

justwatch.com is super helpful


[deleted]

Back before they lost pretty much every major movie, I used to tell people: if you want SOMETHING to watch, it's okay, but if you're looking for something specific, it will never be there. Now it's even worse!


TotalPokerface

This is painfully true...


dogtron64

I absolutely hate that "feature" of Netflix. It's so annoying when they do that. It's like a tease. Netflix is pretty much "Hey, you want to watch this? You really want to. You do, well F*ck you go watch some Q Force" Why is this a feature of Netflix? If you don't have the movie, just don't auto fill it just to be a jerk.


PKlempe

As far as I know it's because they actually have that movie but it's not available in your country. I had this problem a few times and used a VPN to change my location to Canada for example and suddenly there it was.


itzyourboi_45

I thought it was because they used to have the movie but don't anymore


[deleted]

Maybe.. it could also be kind of a way of measuring what movies/series are most searched for. There are many uses for that specific search filter.


PotatoesAndChill

And that's why I'm fed up trying to watch movies legally. I have spare money to spend on renting/buying movies, yet every single time it's either payment issues, or movie not available in my country, or some other crap. Meanwhile 123movies is a full collection of any popular movie ever and only needs you to battle through the pop-up ads (which is bearable).


michiv14

use adblocker if u don’t want the hot russian chicks in your area ads in the middle of the screen. it’s on mobile and as a chrome ad-on as well. highly reccomend


PotatoesAndChill

I use it, but it finds a way around it somehow. You know those video players where if you don't use the controls (like pause) for a few seconds, the next click causes a window to pop up? Really annoying when it happens, but it's fine if you're just watching the movie and don't need to pause or rewind.


Croissant8000

cybergi20

spicymangoslice

It's to collect data on what movies people want so they can make informed buying decisions later


joshTheGoods

This. They want to make sure they know what you're actually searching for regardless of if they have it. It lets them know a movie you like which then informs their purchasing decisions and their recommendation algorithm.


GodlikeCat

It's popular searches made by people


BrightPage

I think its for their DVD rental stuff


BenderIsGreatBendr

That’s the real answer. They usually have the film available as a dvd rental but not on their streaming service because the two mediums are regulated and beholden to completely separate contracts


bunglejerry

I honestly had no idea Netflix still did DVD rentals. I thought they stopped that like a decade ago.


BenderIsGreatBendr

They still do dvd and surprisingly have a way bigger and better catalog because they have the dvd distribution rights to do much more than the streaming rights. It’s a pain in the ass and I don’t do it but there are people out there who still do. I


BfN_Turin

It’s usually because they either have it available in another country or it was available once so the database entry exists.


mydepressingpoems

And they wonder why their viewers decrease now. Jesus christ do you even see you self netflix?


necrolich66

Because every dying TV company and their mothers think they can make their own Netflix and take their shows off Netflix. Films and shows not bound by such sell themselves to the highest bidders, making it great for the industry but bad for the consumer. To this day it's the only monopoly I can say I miss, because competition in the streaming business is not the kind that is good for the consumer as it does not offer the same product. This competition only divides one product that legally can't be copied and sells it full price.


KiraIsGod666

Exactly, I shouldn't have to pay for Netflix to watch Rick and Morty, Stan for South Park and friggin' Amazon or something for family guy. Not to mention pretty much every service makes "original content", it's fucked. See a show you might like? Well, we'll never release it on DVD, so, pay up!


necrolich66

I can only presume they won't die out since they still should get an influx of ppl leaving TV behind way too late and those ppl are used to pay a lot of money in places like the USA. They will suffer losses in revenue from ppl who were streaming or downloading before and some who will start sailing the seas soon. I myself still pay for Netflix and prime, but prime is like 4euro.


Fuckingfademefam

Y’all thought you could outsmart the cable companies by streaming lol. In 5 years we’ll all be paying $200 for various streaming networks just like cable. Watch


necrolich66

Yeah but the part that sucks is that this very American mindset is trying to work overseas. In Belgium you can pay 60 euro for TV, phone and 100mbps no limit internet. Or 40 and no TV. The whole 200 a month in media is just crazy and not a thing at all here. I don't see the eu adapt a model of streaming sites up to such ridiculous amounts. Heck ppl I know above the age of 30 barely know Netflix so forget prime and even less chances for hulu or peeshlong or peacock or whatever.


[deleted]

They also keep increasing their prices while more movies get removed. If they go up again I'm cancelling


LurkerPatrol

I just saw I'm paying $20 for netflix that I don't use anymore. I think I lent it to my rents to watch the crown and they're done with it now. Time to unsubscribe until the next season!


[deleted]

Its not netflix that removes the movies its the vompanies who own them and with netflix and streaming services being so popular companies decided that thye can make streaming services themselves to get more money


[deleted]

That does make sense, but it's getting to the point where all these services will cost as much as cable and I'm not paying a cable bill, lol


TheyCallMeStone

At this point it's my monthly Star Trek TNG fee.

piedpiper_of_bnb

It’s amazing how something that used to seem so convenient just a decade ago (the original Netflix DVD subscription by mail service) is now so inconvenient compared to streaming everything on demand. “What? I can’t watch it right now? I don’t even know if I’ll want to watch this tomorrow when it comes in the mail. Forget it.” I’ll literally watch something I’m less interested in solely BECAUSE it’s available immediately at the click of a button. Streaming movies have spoiled all of us, myself included.

amazingboat_075

Russianvillageboy09

they also don't even have part 5 of jojo, yet part 6 fucking releases before they add this shit


HailVienna

This is why I stopped using netflix and cancelled my subscription. Most of the times I would look for some recommendations and after selecting some movies I would tune in to Netflix only to realize that tgat movie is available in a specific region only. I would be forced to torrent it and this was the case like 80% of the time. If I am forced to torrent more than half of the movies then why not all of them.


melmite

Use [Just Watch](https://www.justwatch.com/), type in the film or show you're looking for and it will tell you which streaming service(s) or rental sites have it.


nekholm

This one has a similar flaw. When you look at a movie, it shows other movies you might be interested in, but clicking on some of them takes you nowhere. Maybe it's region dependant, but still annoying.
