    How can I be sure a movie will show up on Flixster?

    I only want to buy movies I know will show up on Flixster. The only reason I would want a UV movie is to take it on the go for my Ipad or Android. And since VUDU only lets you stream, currently Flixster is the only viable option on the go when no wifi is available (which is often for me).

    Some FOX movies show up but some don't. Some Paramount movies do and some don't. How can I be sure before I buy.

    Will Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Prometheus and Avengers show up? I assume no Dreamworks and no Disney movies still, or have that changed?

    Go to Flixster and search for the movie. If not available it will say "Currently unavailable on Flixster".

      This information is not completly accurate. If it says it is unavailable on flixster, I think it just means you can't buy it there. Some movies will say they are unavailable, but If you get them on VUDU or somewhere else they still might show up on Flixster.

      For example, if you look for Sound of Music or Friends with Benifits, Flixster says they are unavailable. But I got them on VUDU and they DO show up on my flixster collection.

        Prometheus does show up (I have it). Avengers isn't UV so it won't (it's Disney). Don't have Abe Lincoln but it should show up (it's redeemable on Flixster).

        There is no reliable way to know what will not work on Flixster ahead of time (I still have Sony and Universal that don't show up). If it's purchasable on Flixster or its on Flixster's Redeem page, it'll definitely be available on Flixster. If it's not either of those, there is no way to tell for sure without trying and finding out.

        Also, early access movies on Vudu (like Fox digital HD) may not be available on Flixster until blu-ray release date. Also, Flixster is continually adding movies to its UV collection. I had movies that weren't available when I got them on Vudu (older WB,Sony,and Universal movies), but became available later. Still some ones missing though too.

          I believe all Ultraviolet movies will "show up" in Flixster. If unavailable it will still "show up" in Flixster but may be listed under their section - "Unavailable for streaming or download on Flixster".

          I'm curious - Can you watch and download to iPad & Android 'Sound of Music' and 'Friends With Benefits' from Flixster?

            Yes I can download them

            Also I noticed that the "unavailable for streaming or download" section of flixster is gone. I had a few movies down there before but now they are entirely gone. Some dreamworlds stuff. Is it just me or is the unavailable section gone for everyone. How do I get it back?

              My "Unavailable for streaming or download on Flixster" section is still there for me. I have 15 movies in it.
