As a result of the deals, Netflix is already streaming 300 previously unavailable indie and foreign films on its website to all of its subscribers. More classics are on the way, and some of Netflix's new deals will allow the site to stream new releases from participating companies.
The announcement names Departures, Wendy and Lucy, A Nos Amours, Au Revoir Les Enfents, Good Dick, As It Is in Heaven and Seraphine as key examples of the kind of content now available. Others include François Truffaut's The 400 Blows and several films by Ingmar Bergman, including The Seventh Seal — that classic, angst-ridden film about literally playing chess with Death.
Expansions like this to Netflix's library -- along with initiatives like streaming content via any of the three major video game consoles -- make Netflix arguably the best deal for film fanatics. Its collection isn't comprehensive, but it's definitely the most expansive one you can get for less than $10 per month.
