Upcoming Netflix Streaming Titles Include Immortals, Memento And 12 Monkeys

I won't pretend to be excited that The Faculty has become
available on Netflix Watch Instantly, but only because doing so might
imply that I didn't already own the 1998 alien-invasion film on DVD,
which might not be entirely true. ("Crash and burn, Casey.") The
Elijah Wood starring body snatchers teen sci-fi-horror is just one of a
few movies that's been added to Netflix's Watch Instantly. Check out the
list ahead to see what's newly available or coming soon to the
subscription-based streaming video service.



Those looking to take a break from using their Netflix subscription to
marathon through a TV series might want to keep an eye out for what's
arrived and what's coming among the movie selection at Netflix
Streaming. Apocalypse Now Redux, Look Who's Talking Too, The Cable Guy, The Cider House Rules and Life is Beautiful are all available as of today. Meanwhile, Immortals, 12 Monkeys, Donnie Brasco and Memento are among the movies set to become available this July. As is A League of Their Own ("There's no crying in baseball!") And there's more…
