Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

watched gainsbourg: a heroic life this week. pretty terrible! dude who played serge was ok, but the rest was cliche biopic cringe-a-minute.

Watch the Fishbone doc!

the keep is bad, i couldnt get through it

It's terrible! Nice to see it there, though.

the keep could've been great, but iirc there was a lot of pressure on mann to keep the runtime down. it has this languorous rhythm, feels like it should've been 2.5 hours long and been a thoroughly immersive experience. movie also suffers from weak monster design, it's clearly not mann's forte, or he hired the wrong ppl. that said I still enjoy watching it from time to time and imagining what it could have been.

Weak monster, also Scott Glenn with magic flashlight.

Not my cuppa, but my wife has been streaming marathon sessions of Dark Shadows. Even weirder, she's been alternating an episode of Glee for every 2 episodes of Dark Shadows.

Yeah The Keep is terrible, just does not fucking work. The beginning where they are truckin' into the village scenery enveloped in T-Dream has real Herzogian power tho. The novel is pretty great.

If you want to check out another super odd mainstream 80s movie that's almost WTF enough to be good, watch Nomads. Pierce Brosnan is french! Gail Anne Gurd is Pierce Brosnan! Adam Ant is a numinous being of some sort! Ted Nugent and Bill Conti team up on the music!

otm the setup & the premise are good, it's just horribly executed the rest of the way

otm

there are a couple of other cool sequences scattered throughout, I actually hated it the first time I saw it because of the gap between promise and delivery, subsequent viewings better cuz I knew what I was getting

I was watching it while tripping once and at the end the fog that rolls through the keep came out of the TV and started filling the room

Yeah, its one of those bad movies I know I'll watch again...

This Emotional Life - Harvard psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Daniel Gilbert hosts this three-part PBS series that explores the range of human emotions and how we can strive to become more positive in our day-to-day lives.

Cast: Chevy Chase, Larry David

Yeah, the opening scene of the Keep set me up to be knocked down. I fell asleep about 15 minutes in, but my wife kept shaking me awake saying "Watch how stupid this is! You can't sleep if you're making me watch this stupid movie."

I had just finished reading the book by F. Paul Wilson too, which is actually really strong and wholly recommended, although it might be poisoned for you if you've already seen the film.

love the new streaming setup, v nice looking

omg dawson's creek is now available to watch instantly there goes my ever doing anything except watching dawson's creek

ha! i started watching this on amazon (free with prime) and omg it's so much more terrible than i remember!! katie holmes is also the worst actress in the history of time.

it's way more talky than even I remember, like lets not do anything ever but stand and emote for half an hour DON'T YOU SEE DONT YOU UNDERSTAND
I still,love it though

Thank u Pacey for being awesome in Fringe

aw i think katie holmes is kind of good in the first season! maybe not good exactly, she's pretty limited but she's kind of likable in the first season. there's so little that's likable about this show; why am i obsessed with it? i really do love katie holmes; she was so young and full of hope and unencumbered by tom cruise irl then.

v. bummed that the theme song had to be replaced

it's hilarious how the fake theme song is maybe even worse than the paula cole theme

after watching Antichrist, I made my 20yo friend watch Dawson's Creek. She made fun of me for 20 minutes (also castigating everyone on the show) then got hooked and made me watch two more episodes

didnt realize till now that antichrist was an adaptation of DC

lol

She made fun of me for 20 minutes (also castigating everyone on the show) then got hooked and made me watch two more episodes

this is the exact quality of watching dawson's creek. my senior year of college i would regularly watch the last season with two friends of mine at their apartment. we told no one. one day i went over early and they were watching n'sync concert videos and were incredibly embarrassed that i'd surprised them in the act. layers upon layers of shame.

that's how i discovered n'sync's terrible cover of "just got paid."

what is this thread about again?

she doesn't understand my appreciation of Michelle Williams and thought having the sun dress unbutton between her legs was pretty skanky

damnnnn they had to replace i don't wanna wait on dawsons creek!? that is just plain wrong. is there some kind of petition i can sign to have it reinstated.

I DONT WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIIVES TO BE OVAHHH

i've been going through all of brothers & sisters, there needs to be drinking game around the heartfelt speechings

"Black Stallion!" A+ kids fare ftw

yessssssssssssss: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/666_Revealed/70236640?trkid=4375112

"The situation presented in the 1970s horror classic The Omen is not just the stuff of fiction in this examination of Satanism and the occult. The film presents evidence of Satan's offspring on Earth and connects the monsters of history to the devil."

just climbed out of a Netflix rabbit hole after adding 20 documentaries to my queue

Was 666 Revealed one of them?

It was, actually.

I assume The Story Of Anvil's one of them as well.

tim & eric's billion $ movie is up now apparently? haven't seen it and it got mediocre reviews but i'll probably watch it

also "jon benjamin has a van" has been up and is very inconsistent but when it clicks it's capable of being very very hilarious

the ep with tim and eric is great. time travelin van runs over alien. film at 11.

i like the one where their sound guy gets kidnapped so it's silent for like 10 minutes, some great sight gags

prepare for sorrow at Tim and Eric s movie - what a failure

johnny depp rum diaries movie is up - plz note, have not seen, might be garbage

I'm a big tim and eric fan but I couldn't get even halfway through the movie.

it was a very sad departure from their show. I think they did tha on purpose becuase they are msichevious and like to mess with people

i had high hopes for Rum Diaries-- the director of my favorite film lured out of semi-retirement for the first time in almost 20 years-- but it is thoroughly mediocre despite some great performances. I suspect the problem is the hunter s thompson original which depp and robinson seem too eager to be faithful to.

Oh shit Tom Noonan's amazing What Happened Was... is on there now! Recommended x 100.

i watched this the other night, it's p great

Wow this Tim and Eric movie is something

Annoyingly, a smattering of Miami Vice episodes, which are otherwise streaming, are disc-only. I gather this is music rights related, but still - fuck you netflix.
