Netflix: only 35 of IMDB top 250 available to stream (2018)

A few years back, a Reddit member (u/clayton_frisbie) cross-referenced the IMDb (Internet Movie Database) top 250 movies list with Netflix’s movie library to see how many of the top movies were available on the service in the US. Here’s the list of movies from IMDb’s top 250 list that Netflix has in its US streaming library as of the time of this writing:

Of note, Netflix subscribers can stream 15 of IMDB’s top 100 movies. It’s no surprise that licensing movies can be expensive, but so is producing original films, which Netflix isn’t shying away from this year (They’re spending up to $13 billion on content this year).
