I type in the search box a movie title I want to see...and dang if I don't get anywhere from 117 to 279 pages to "scroll thru"...what am I doing wrong and is there (I sure HOPE so) an easier way to navigate. Want to make a queue line up... .
I know also I can't watch any of the seasons of any shows I may like later than 2011....
Am watching ( for like the 100th time...Hunt For Red October///a very fave one...)

So you're an online streaming member only? Netflix Instant?
Or instant and mailer dvds?
The very latest television shows and series and films will only be available on disc. Though in terms of more recent TV series you may find what you're looking for on hulu.com (particularly with a hulu plus membership).
In terms of searching, I don't usually have trouble finding what I want via the search bar on netflix...can you give us an example?
The more specific you are (especially with titles) the better.
If I don't know what want to watch, I find the best way to look for interesting things is to search by genre: comedy, drama, documentary, thriller, tv etc.
If you click the 'Watch Instantly" button along the header, you'll see the genres in a drop down menu.
Another good tool is to click the "Taste Preferences" button also along the header and spend some time rating movies and television shows - that will help the program matrix create customized genres for you, which generates lists (which are sometimes quite amusingly titled), currently Netflix has the following lists for me:
Gritty Crime TV Shows
Understated Independent Dramas
Suspenseful BBC TV Shows
Critically Acclaimed Visually Striking Foreign Movies
Quirky TV Shows featuring a Strong Female Lead
Classic Sentimental Romantic Movies
Controversial Social and Cultural Documentaries
and then it will also generate lists that are "Like" things you've recently been watching...I have "More like Shaun the Sheep" among my taste preferences list...
