Don't forget that Netflix are new to the UK and it takes time to build up all the rights required to show the content you want to make available. Look at the US version of Netflix and you will see that they have much more content. There is no reason why the UK version shouldn't be as comprehensive with a little time.

As I said, Netflix have already indicated their interest in doing deals with the film studios but they cannot do so until current exclusive rights with Sky are up. Shouldn't be too much longer now.

Virgin Media have already broached the idea with Amazon but they were not ready. I think it will be more than a year before we get this, but pretty certain we will get it when all the issues are resolved.
