Netflix Loses Close to 1,000 Classic Titles

Netflix has lost a significant chunk of its roster as of today.

The online streaming service's contract with Warner Bros expired today. The contract included many MGM classic movies, including a number of JAMES BOND films, which will be transferred to Warner Archive Instant.

But with the loss comes hundreds of additions.

"Netflix is a dynamic service, we constantly update the TV shows and movies that are available to our members," Netflix spokesman Joris Evers recently told CNET. "We will add more than 500 titles May 1, but we also have titles expiring, this ebb and flow happens all the time."

For one low monthly price, Netflix members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on nearly any Internet-connected screen.
