Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

And an awesome plane crash. I totally wanted the wolves to win too.

I liked the Grey too, but there should have been more running and punching wolves and less tiresome campfire scenes.

Mulholland Dr. just added

niiiice.

Also Paths of Glory, Night of the Hunter, and The Conversation

Oslo, August 31st was my joint favourite film of last year. I recommend it to everyone.

any recs for good horror films on Netflix? watched The Innkeepers last night and it was solid.

morning glory was pretty horrifying

yes, consulting my Bad Review Log woulda helped u there

Morning Glory pretty instructive on how much civilisation has declined since Broadcast News. Rachel McAdams not without her charms though.

dunno if it's been covered already and still up there but pontypool was a good horror

Aye, that's in the queue. I don't watch a lot of horror anymore so I figured October was a good month to catch up.

Whenever Pontypool is mentioned, I have to reiterate that it's one of my favorite movies, horror or otherwise, in years. Though obviously, if you follow the horror threads, some folks hate it or don't buy it or don't get it.

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME JUDE LAW PUNCHES GWYNETH PALTROW IN THE FACE IN SKY CAPTAIN

Hahah I was waiting for you to report on this.

I don't even remember that! But iirc I fell asleep on the couch for part of the movie.

Whatever happened to that Sky Captain director? Does he just hang with Shane Carruth in the gifted home movie maker locked out by Hollywood club?

Carruth worked on Looper.

i think the entire cast punched me in the face in sky captain

I did fall asleep at the very end, not gonna lie

Quite enjoyed Pontypool. Keep horror recs coming if anyone can. Trying to cram a bunch in this month. I've seen very little.

I'll try to come up with a top ten Netflix streaming horror thing here in the next few days

Cheers. The navigation menu's horror list seems short, and I know there's a lot more based on the insantwatcher listings. Just don't know where to start. Watched Pontypool, House of the Devil, and The Innkeepers so far.

Trollhunter is still there. Recommended!

another recent quality canadian horror flick is the signal

if you need to catch up with some asian horror classics, these are available

a tale of two sisters
the host
pulse
auditon
three extremes

and if you want to choose the nuclear option there's always the human centipede

three extremes reminds me that i saw the devil is up there... not supernatural but still horror i guess

"Trollhunter" was so awesome. We were just at Epcot, and all through the Norway ride I kept thinking how much I wanted to watch "Trollhunter" again.

more horror recs: Black Death, Insidious, The Signal and Absentia

I don't recommend Insidious. Watch Apartment 143 instead.

Black Death is a good premise gone dull. I would recommend Insidious for its amazing score.

gimme some good "lonely cabin in the woods" (besides CABIN IN THE WOODS) haunted house movies to watch cuz i am trying to write one now

bullhead

SO GOOD. finishing it up now, only passed out on it last night but i was (bull)dog tired. was so not prepared for what happens to main guy as a kid, i probably would've stressed out having to sit through it in a theater.

watched 'chasing ghosts: beyond the arcade' & 'les bonnes femmes'

both own

i just told this to mordy on the jew-thread, but everyone should see "late marriage"

^knows whats up

yeah i watched that based on your sugg a while ago and it is boss

Omg so much Mario Bava!

Yeah they added buttloads of horror the last couple days.

I can recommend Intruders. Spanish-British M. Night-flavored classy but daft kids and monsters joint.

SPORK.

i watched Deadhead Miles this week -- weird, rambling little movie, but alan arkin is great in it.

Watched Kill, Baby… Kill! last night – man, that's a great little lost classic. Super spooky period ghost story. Dude has a way with atmosphere. Also, pretty sure that's where King Diamond got "Melissa" from, despite the official story.

Just finished watching the "Resurrect Dead" doc about Toynbee tiles mentioned way upthread. Terrific! Had no idea someone had pretty much unraveled the whole mystery.

trying to figure out which of the new bavas to check out. I've seen black sunday/sabbath, and planet of the vampires. maybe baron blood or bay of blood?

Edward – Kill, Baby… Kill!is fantastic, highly recommended, as I mentioned a couple posts up. Also highly recommend Lisa and the Devil – a really kind of surreal, slow burning, unsettling story, kind of like if Last Year at Marienbad was an actual horror movie (and more Italian and less artsy, obviously, but it has a similar vibe). Bay of Blood is next up for me. Apparently Baron Blood is one of his lesser works, though. Avoid House of Exorcism – apparently that's just an inferior recut of Lisa And the Devil with some crappy new footage to make it an exorcism movie in order to cash in on the success of The Exorcist.

thx!

Also, according to some of the websites I've looked at, Friday the 13th part 2 ripped off a bunch of stuff from Bay of Blood, so there's that.

Checking out Beyond the Black Rainbow right now

Just randomly collated by "cult film," and all sorts of random stuff I remember from the video shelves as a kid showed up. "TerrorVision," "Crawl Space," "Class of Nuke 'Em High..."

Checking out Beyond the Black Rainbow right now

Ooh, nice. Adding that to my queue now.

I was delighted last night to find that Demolition Man is available to stream.
