Neat site. I might consider signing up for it as I'm rather sick of Netflix and don't use it much anymore. Having a short list would certainly help the endless flicking through crap on Netflix. OTOH, it's still competing with every other film out there, as they're one click away off a Torrent site.
One complaint on the homepage that'd usually have me close right away, if this wasn't on HN:
Why do you ignore the user's language presence and send them a language based on a guess from their IP? My OS is English, my browser is in English and only ends en-US and en in the Accept-Language field. Yet because I'm traveling in Central America, I get content in a language I'm not keen on. With no obvious way to change back to the correct language.
Changing back to my US IP, it still continues to show stuff in Spanish. I've gotta clear history for it to reset.
This is a really annoying thing to do. Did this actually test well? That is, do users often send the wrong Accept-Language header and appreciate the site second guessing them? And those users, do they not like having a quick option to change the language back to the one they requested?
Otherwise, really interesting looking service. Kudos.
