Data correct as of February 2020.

When it comes to films, the Netflix library in Canada has the widest selection at 4,093 titles, 4.81% more than in the UK. The UK’s library ranks third in this sample, behind Canada and the USA, which is nothing to sneeze at, as it means 92% of Netflix libraries (or at least the ones in this sample) have a smaller film selection than ours. Portugal sits at the bottom of the list, with a movie selection almost half the size of ours.
