I just watched a special about BTTF a few days ago, talking about how it got turned down over 40 times before accepted, 5 weeks were filmed with different actors for Marty and his gf, etc... I didn't really ever know that. In fact I even forgot that a different girl plays his gf after the first BTTF. lol.

Thanks, this is helpful! I wish there'd be a way to check directly from phone

You can't? I remember doing that but its been a while. Now days I just go ahead and watch since 90 percent of things have it anyway.

Netflix only shows a small selection of their audio-described content when searching using the iOS app, and the list includes none of the older content—at least for me.

Another way of finding audio described content is by using Unogs ($1)' search feature.
It is possible to filter the audio track by AD only. As well ass sorting content by year. However, I do not know how accessible the site is for screen readers.

The new site is much less accessible than the old one.

Well my wife has been wanting to watch the Godfather, and we didn't think it was audio described. So thanks for this. I had no idea audio description was ever added after the fact, except for breaking bad which just happened. Now if only forign stuff such as anime (which has Japanese audio description) could add English description too I'd be set. Again, thanks for this

There are hundreds of movies with new AD tracks, but only a few will be available on Netflix in each country at a time. And if The Godfather isn't in your country, you can rent it on iTunes.
