The age old question! How do you find movies to watch instantly on netflix tonight, or if you want NetFlix to ship it to you, how do you find the top netflix movies to rent for tomorrow night? Is there a way to find the most rented movies this week? Well, with the beauty of RSS Feeds, your in luck! I’m going to give a handful of RSS feeds that you can bookmark, and at anytime, just click on them and see the top movies on NetFlix or the new NetFlix streaming titles. So, where to begin.

First, you’ll get an RSS Feed that will look like this:

http://rss.netflix.com/Top100RSS

This RSS feed is the top 100 movies on NetFlix. So what do you do with that? If you click on that or if you paste the text into your web browser’s address bar, you’ll be taken to an RSS feed. This will show you the Top 100 movies on NetFlix and it will be updated for you every two weeks! What do you get,? You get to see the picture of the DVD cover, you get a quick synopsis of the movie, and you get to know where it is in the Top 100. Convenient, isn’t it?

You also can get the New Releases:

http://rss.netflix.com/NewReleasesRSS

Same deal – but this is going to be the newest releases on NetFlix this week, so that hot new movie you were waiting on, this is where you can see it become available as a new release!

But it doesn’t stop there! Not only can you use this to quickly see the movies streaming from NetFlix, you can also find good movies on NetFlix, and you can even see your own Queue from Netflix! How cool is that?

So the beauty of RSS feeds is that you don’t have to actually go to NetFlix’s site to see the results. You can bookmark these in your web browser and from any page you can hit the link and see a pop-up or a full page of a customized view of what you want from NetFlix!

What follows below is a shorthand listing of the links to the various RSS Feeds from NetFlix. See one you like? Then click on it and you should have the option from your browser to bookmark it. Do that and future visits to those pages will be a breeze! I don’t mind you coming back here every time you want to find their RSS feeds, it’ll be ok as I’d love the visitors and comments on my reviews, but you can also just go to NetFlix itself and get these feeds as well. Thanks!

Go to the NetFlix page I’ve linked above from a PC you are logged into NetFlix from and you’ll get a grouping of Personalized feeds for your own Queue and Rental Activity, as well as recommendations, if you like or trust NetFlix recommendations. These are super great RSS Feeds to have bookmarked! You can also share your feeds with others.

These feeds are public, anyone can use.

Enjoy!

I’ve lost the little Tyvek envelopes that Netflix ships their DVDs in, but I’ve never lost the actual outer envelope before. I heard someone mention that they lost their envelope and they didn’t know what to do because they didn’t have an envelope to ship the disk back to Netflix!

I’ve gotten a disk from Netflix before and the mailer envelope was torn, but it was always repairable with tape.

The issue this guy was facing is that Netflix says if you lose the envelope you can mail two movies back in the same envelope. So what happens then…? What do you do, call them up and say “I lost my netflix envelope”?

So what is the solution for a netflix lost envelope? First I guess you could look for it! LOL… Sorry. Your looking on the Internet because you can’t find it!

What I did, is that on occasion I’ll have two DVDs I want to send back at the same time. My thought at the time was that I’d just mail two back at once in one envelope. Save Netflix the postage fees and make them a little more profitable and maybe they’ll be around to meet my entertainment needs longer. I didn’t throw away the envelope but kept it, just in case. Then if I needed the second envelope, I have it. If one comes that is torn or damaged, I don’t have to worry about that Netflix envelope ripped or torn, I can just toss it and use the spare.

So the short answer is to head over to Netflix’s website where my curiosity is answered! Yeah! If you don’t have a pre-paid Netflix return envelope then you can mail the DVD in its white sleeve. Simply put it in an envelope with enough postage, and put the address to Netflix on it and mail it back. Sucks that you have to pay the postage here, but if you have to… Now, if the white DVD envelope is gone, too, then you can still get the DVD back to Netflix the same way, only because you have no white movie sleeve you have write your Netflix account email address and put it with the disk so you can be credited.

Mail the DVDs to this addres:
