This will get a list of the user's unchecked movies, in the top lists, at iCheckMovies.com and then search to see which ones are available for instant streaming at Netflix.

What you need:
Python
Beautiful Soup
Mechanize
netflixinstant.py

Installation:
--Python 2.6 is what I'm using and can be downloaded here
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/

Python 3 and higher won't work. Installing Python should be pretty straight forward

--Beautiful Soup
Extract the file, browse to where you extracted it and install it with the command: python setup.py install

--Mechanize
Extract the file, browse to where you extracted it and install it with the command: python setup.py install

Put netflixinstant.py wherever you want to keep it.


Running the program:
From the command line, browse to where you have netflixinstant.py and type: python netflixinstant.py

It will ask you for your username and then start to work. Just remember that you probably have thousands of unwatched movies in your top lists, so the program will take a long time to check them all. A long time being hours. When it's done, there'll be a file on your C drive called icm streaming list.txt, with a list of movies and the year.
