Does anyone know of any PCB houses that can make flexible PCB's?

You know - like the plastic films used inside keyboards to form the matrix etc.

I have a need to make a flexible PCB, but am having a bit of trouble deciding on which PCB houses offer this service.

Has anyone here had flexible PCB's made, and if so, where did you go to get them made?

I have made flexible PCBs before (0.15mm thickness) with PCBcart in China. The quality was great. You need to contact them by email though as I think there wasn't such option in the online ordering.

itead studio does flexible boards. I have not used this service but they make great standard PCBs (which I and TZAdvantage recommend).
