Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

watched 'last embrace' dir. jonathan demme - apes hitchcock in abt a dozen diff ways, is still decent - roy scheiders a pretty captivating leading man

"Just watched Straight Time - entertaining, gritty 70's heist flick. Awesome cast - Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, M. Emmet Walsh, and Kathy Bates."

One of my favorite movies.

At the risk of spamming the board about this movie, of you like smart horror movies " black Christmas" from 1974 is totally amazing.

Directed by the guy who did a A Christmas Story!

...and Porky's!

and this one

poll

also wtf at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382028/

check out the wind journeys if you are a fan of cinematography or latin american magical realism

about a teenager accompanying an accordion player across colombia to return his devil-possessed accordion to his former teacher

story kind of meandering but it looks fantastic

Straight Time contains my favorite Dustin Hoffman performance.

straight time was great!

kinda not surprised the wiki sez this:

Michael Mann also contributed to the screenplay but was uncredited upon the film's release. The novel later served as a source of reference for the character Neil McCauley in Mann's 1995 film Heat[citation needed].

That content includes “Medium,” which was recently canceled; “Flashpoint,” which is shared with CTV in Canada; and a raft of old shows like “Frasier,” “Family Ties” and “Cheers.” (Some of the shows included in the package are associated with other networks, but were distributed by CBS’s studio.)

OTM

pretty sure my so-called life wasn't on this a little while ago, but it is now.

anyone else find the instant browsing very cludgey? I mainly browse this via appletv so that might be part of it, but even on the site, I rarely run across some of these things when I'm browsing categories; but if I hunt it down by name there it is.

They don't let you see everything if you're just browsing, unfortunately.

I think I've linked to this before, but I find this site much easier to browse for titles than the Netflix site: www.instantwatcher.com

polyphonic, what is that movie called?

Sour Grapes

It isn't great but it is VERY Larry David.

canada got GOOD BURGER today

Watch Chloe last night, check the Atom Egoyan thread for my patchy thoughts.

Watched both Fish Tank and Please Give this weekend. They were both sort of OK.

Julia - with Tilda Swinton at her most mesmerizing. Feels almost like a condensed season of Breaking Bad with all the escalating, crazy plot turns and terrible decisions. There is really no reason this shouldn't be a mainstream hit.

Watched this, too. Really good!

It isn't great but it is VERY Larry David.

watching those clips, Sour Grapes seems to make a lot more sense now w/ the benefit of Curb than it did when it was released.

Oof. It's ridiculous that I've never seen Brother's Keeper til now, especially with how important the Paradise Lost docu was to me. Just finished BK, and am weeping like a girlyman.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

Agreed its great

I finally watched bright leaves & loved it

I'm about to watch this. It was recommended to me by Netflix for my interest in Annie Hall and Taxi Driver. That's such a weird function.

Yeah, that was really good.

a. and i were *so sure* they had altman's popeye streaming, but no. they did have athens, ga: inside/out, so we watched that.

popeye used to be in the rotation. i do hate when they push a movie on you for awhile and then when you're finally in the mood of course then it's gone. watched karate kid yesterday, the paper chase before bed last night, i'm not sure why i did in either case (somehow suspect watching the social network again recently is at the root of both viewings). why did you watch athens ga inside/out and what did you think? also do ppl outside of athens die laughing when dreams so real pop up?

why did you watch athens ga inside/out and what did you think?

it was in my bf's queue and he hadn't seen it before. i think it's sweet. my impression of dreams so real is that people don't take them very seriously, but i like the one song they have in the movie. we were laughing at the kilkenny cats cuz they seemed like out of anyone, they were really determined to MAKE IT.

My DVD player broke down, which is wonderful because I recently learned that some Blu Ray players have Netflix Watch Instantly! This is what I've been waiting for for years.

yea I have a panasonic model that does its p phenomenal

ENBB if you haven't seen it, there is a later well-known docu by the same guys called Paradise Lost which broke my heart and brain for a good long while; it also deals with false confessions but goes into much more depth abt the subject and... well, see it if you haven't.

Also I want to pimp the hell out of My Winnipeg on this thread-- soooo great. I was meh on Twilight Of The Ice Nymphs and Saddest Music in the World but My Winnipeg kicked my ass, best thing Guy Maddin has done since Careful imo.

My PS3 broke last night. Do any of the Blu-ray Netflix players support 1080?

Thank Jon. Watched the PL trailer and it looks pretty intense but unfortunately it's not on available instantly. If it was I would have watched it last night. Will add to reg q now.

I just looked up stuff on Ward brothers: Delbert Ward died at age 66 at Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown on August 6, 1998. Roscoe Ward died at age 88 on June 23, 2007. Lyman Ward died at age 85 in Utica, NY on 15 August 2007. Also, I totally had a dream about Delbert and still can't get the image of Lyman shaking on the stand out of my head. Man.

Yes. The way the mic was picking up his breathing, holy shit.

Right? I thought I was going to have an axniety attack just watching the poor guy. :/

Streaming Four Lions right now
