If you're looking for more content to watch on Netflix's Watch Instantly streaming service -- especially since all those Starz movies are
exiting stage left at month's end -- we have good news, as it just announced a multi-year exclusive deal with
The Weinstein Company. The agreement covers foreign language, documentary and "certain other movies" that will be watchable in their pay-TV window only on Netflix, and not HBO or Showtime. That includes such high profile selections as
The Artist, which is nominated for 17 Academy Awards this weekend and Best Documentary nominated
Undefeated, as well as other flicks like
Coriolanus and
The Intouchables. Of course, this is still Netflix so while fans of subtitles and exposés may be sated, The Weinstein Company's more mainstream flicks and Dimension Films releases like
Scream 4 aren't included, as they're still Showtime exclusives due to the deal it
signed with the channel back in '08. Either way, more movies is more movies and you can check out all the details in the press release after the break, hopefully this deal works out better than
HD DVD's exclusive Weinstein pact
did back in the day.
