"Tell No One" is available for instant viewing; really terrific neo-Hitchockian French thriller.

Off the top of my head, I think Kings and Queens and The Beat My Heart Skipped are on "Watch It Now". Two great recent French films.

City of Men (Cidade dos Homens) is a foreign film from Brazil on "Watch Instantly".
La Vie en Rose has been mentioned before, but I'll add that it's available in 720p Hi-Def if you have the capability to see it that way (for example, a very high-speed connection plus a Roku box).
And, of course, The Host is on "Watch Instantly" too and that's technically a foreign-language film!

Jesus of Montreal. So far (to the best of my knowledge) the only film addressing the issue of a contemporary JC. But I'm not recommending it for the religious merits, instead for the artistic ones.

I just noticed that Persepolis is on "Watch Instantly"
A good animated film for the grown-ups!

Johnny Got His Gun (1971), Dalton Trumbo's great anti-war film, is now on "Watch Instantly"
(And I don't think this has ever been released on DVD, so this is one of the few ways to finally see it)

It came out on DVD last month. I'll definitely add it to Watch Instantly.

If you're looking for a good foreign movie, I highly recommend the Danish Pusher trilogy.
Pusher
Pusher 2: With Blood on My Hands
Pusher 3: I'm the Angel of Death
Pusher 3 is definitely my least favorite, but its still very engaging, and the first two are great. Its about drug dealers, and each movie is essentially from the perspective of a different character. All three are available to Watch Now.

I recommend King Corn, a documentary about the role of corn in America told over the backdrop of a year the two filmmakers spent growing an acre of corn in Iowa.

I'm thinking of joining NF just for this feature. Might some of you old timers direct me to any FAQs or guides for optmizing a netflix signup & subscription (including the "watch now" feature)?
Apologies for my OT post; a quick search for "netflix" didn't come up with anything better at DVDtalk. TIA!

The watch it now feature is free with any dvd rental plan. Just pick the cheapest one if you just want to use watch it now.

^Good to hear. Apparently that feedback I left on their Facebook page that they didn't bother responding to made a difference after all.

For those interested in the back-in-the-news story about the Roman Polanski case and his recent arrest, last year's documentary about the case titled Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired (2008) is on "Watch Instantly"
