    Labyrinth is on most if not all the South American regions for anyone who fancies a bit of Bowie considering the day that's in it :(

    Going on holidays to parts of E. Europe, they seem to have a really good selection of movies already available there. Am I right in assuming it's because there probably aren't many big channels that would have the movie rights locked down like Sky do with movies in the UK and Ireland? Since not many people in those countries would be able to afford the prices of subscriptions to such channels. Even Netflix's €7.99 would be considered expensive to a lot of people there.

    Don't think they are anywhere in East Europe yet?

    The Prestige is on many Netflix regions too and if you're in New Zealand or Australia you could watch Twine Peaks:Fire Walk With Me!

    Watched Still Alice on Netflix Ireland at the weekend. Very moving movie with an outstanding performance but now I'm having minor panic attacks anytime I have a brain fart.

    As an aside since it was mentioned earlier, if anyone with UPC/Virgin Media is experiencing reduced Netflix quality during peak times, add yourself to the chorus in this thread. It appears to be a routing problem (see Kensington's excellent post here) which VM so far aren't acknowledging.

    I don't know what VPN stands for but if you go on your holidays to Spain and login to Netflix you access the Spain Netflix titles. Same goes for any other country.





    f you go on your holidays to Spain, USA Japan or anywhere else and login to Netflix, you access that regions Netflix.

    VPN stands for 'Virtual Private Network'. You can use a VPN to fake your location in general. Different apps and plugins are available to do this. ZenMate is a good plugin that can be installed in Chrome and it has an app as well available for iPhone and Android.

    I think you'll find that we're not allowed to talk about those. We are allowed to talk about our holiday plans though. Currently I'm holidaying in Canada.

    In my humble opinion one of the best films of 2015, Phoenix is on Netflix USA.

    Reviews and plot here, I have just finished my nightshift as my bed is calling, but its very enjoyable, hopefully it nabs an oscar nomination later.:)

    I'll be cancelling if it happens.

    Irish netflix is terrible and theres no way their vision of having the same thing on every region will happen.

    Terrible to you.

    Honestly there is a lot of stuff on there. I have been on it for almost a year and there is still a lot of stuff for me yet to watch. Never seen another version but my mind baffles at the thought of even more

    Apologies for that.

    I've just rewatched Trivia, thought it was one of RTEs better efforts in recent years. Funny and quite touching.

    Watched Say Anything too, to relive my youth.

    Important to note -

    Netflix has announced that it has started clamping down on region bypassing.
    Video-streaming giant Netflix has said it is going to stop subscribers from using internet proxies to view content not available in their home countries.
    Due to licensing agreements, Netflix content varies between countries - many users have a virtual private network (VPN) or other proxy to get round this.
    The firm said it would increase efforts in the next few weeks to block the use of such proxies
