I could vote whether the suggestion was good, and prune from there. Of course the Watch Instantly library is much smaller and I don't like a huge majority of the titles, so mailing them out would probably work better. It certainly is an interesting model, save customers from adding a movie to their queue we (Netflix) were 96% sure they were going to add anyway. :) As a happy Netflix customer, and one who uses Watch Instantly through my Xbox 360 regularly, I agree Garrick that Netflix could simply provide me the movies directly, especially through Watch Instantly which doesn’t cost money to distribute the title.

It's called FlixQueue, is much easier to use than the Netflix site, and some of our near future addons will show you a list of movies you will probably like, with a simple one button press to add them to your queue. We are also developing a new feature exactly like you speak of, that will take random recommendations and add them to the top of your queue.
