Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

the kingdom and django are set to expire in a week ... if anyone cares.

django!

The Kingdom... I was so excited when it went on WI but after two episodes I just kinda... lost momentum.

I remember liking Copland when it came out, but remember nothing about it now except that Ray Liotta had some role in it.

And he looked like he'd been living on saltlick for a year...so puffy!

Hey, Mad Men seasons 1-4 are up

Cameraman: The Life and Works of Jack Cardiff is up. I was dead excited about watching it tonight, only to find that the narration track is missing. :(

Gor!

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn!

Cannot believe u guys are stanning for Cop Land, it is surely one of the worst movies I have ever seen

"Cannot believe u guys are stanning for Cop Land, it is surely one of the worst movies I have ever seen"

Elliot Gould in the lead would have improved it immensely amirite?

That can be said about almost any movie

I remember thinking that while watching On The Waterfront.

Hobo with a Shotgun is up if anyone cares

*cares*

AWESOME

ditto.

also copland is terrible guys wtf.

hobo with a shotgun is

quite a thing

haha THANK YOU

xp

Copland rules, I could sing "In The Beginning" every day for the rest of my life

wait which thread is this

YOU in the lead role would have improved it immensely

seriously guys, what a shitty movie. you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves, encouraging others to waste their time in such a manner

i remember not really liking copland. kind of inert as a mystery.

sub-scorsese were the accusations at the time of release. i remember enjoying it but not finding much to disagree with that.

yeah iirc it was one of the big offenders in the "grab a bunch of scorsese regulars and a serious mood and your hack-y crime movie can also be a masterpiece" mid-to-late '90s thing.

janeane garofalo is in copland isn't she?
i think i hated it, don't remember much about it other than the deniro you bleeeeeew it scene. which was good for some laughs.

"yeah iirc it was one of the big offenders in the "grab a bunch of scorsese regulars and a serious mood and your hack-y crime movie can also be a masterpiece" mid-to-late '90s thing."

We should have a poll!

So there was this, Sleepers, and...

It was anything with someone who had been in a tarantino or scorsese film plus have some blood on the poster

or a gun

Tarantino rip-offs are a whole different breed than Scorsese rip-offs though.

was gonna say. that's unleashing a whole new world of pain. we should stick to the Donnie Brasco's.

well there was a certain venn diagram thing happening between the two camps

What about De Palma rip-offs?

Well Tarantino was ripping off Scorsese to some extent so some intersection makes sense.

he was also ripping of de palma! may the circle be unbroken.

They Planned The Perfect Crime...Until It All Went Perfectly Wrong!

Intense!

thats like the best worst tagline ever

It's a film by Kevin Spacey.

are people still making these kinds of movies? they seemed to stop dead around 2000.

i guess the massive success of, and critical acclaim for, the boondock saints kinda shamed anyone else from even trying.

btw the documentary on the boondock saints guy, overnight, isn't on WI anymore, but i recommend it anyway. incredibly pathetic but hilarious viewing. and a pretty good, if slanted and silly and kinda sad, look at the shift miramax had made between pulp fiction and the matrix.

ah crap that was on my queue and i never got to it

For a horrible recent Scorsese ripoff look no further than "Kill The Irishman"...the WORST. Seriously, every 20 minutes = slow motion montage of beating people with bats set to random 70's AM radio track.

sounds like Pixar is finally out of ideas

Former coworker who LOVE Boondock Saints excitedly came up to me to say that he wandered into an art cinema and saw this and thought it was the BEST film he had seen in YEARS.
