Mostly cult, foreign, and genre films (such as: Invasion Of The Bee Girls,
Spirits Of The Dead, The Candy Snatchers, Beat Girl), but some of the titles
were a surprise that Netflix didn't have them in their stock because they're
readily available for purchase (like the original The Vanishing, Farewell My
Lovely, and Demon Lover).
