Show HN: Netflix Rate Chrome Extension (opens in new tab)

There is a way to sort Netflix content by rating: Watch instantly / Subtitles and captions, and then 'all languages' (by default) and then sort by rating.

Direct link (?): http://movies1.netflix.com/Subtitles?st=rt&so=1

I believe this sorts all streamable content (or maybe only content that contain subtitles?), based on your Netflix rating (that is, either the one you gave because you watched it, or the one Netflix estimates for you for shows you haven't yet watched/rated).

I find Netflix rating estimates are very accurate and I tend to simply go down that list in order to find what to watch next.

Agreed. I use Flickchart, a service that builds a "best of" list for you over time, and also builds a "highest rated movies you haven't seen yet" list. The other day, the lightbulb went off that I should sort my queue based on that "highest rated movies" list, but I quickly rediscovered that the Netflix queue sorting interface is a hassle to deal with.

I used to use a bookmarklet to sort my queue by star ratings. seems to still work, despite the lag in updates:

I never added it to the movie pages since I thought that most people browsed via the index page. The code is public here: https://github.com/joshblum/netflix-rate-chrome-ext if you're interested in adding it.

I may add ratings to the search page in the future.
