Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

documentaries:
Visual Acoustics (architectural photography of Julius Schulman)
Manufactured Landscapes (lots of coverage of footage of huge electronics/consumer product manufacturing places in China, among others)

Ai Wei Wei documentary is worth your time

def watch manufactured landscapes

for sure, it uses long shots really well

omg that sounds amazing

the opening traveling shot, like 12 minutes going through one megafactory, is @_@

another strong vote for manufactured landscapes. Loved that one.

you sit there trying to figure out what kind of things they make in the factory, and after a couple minutes you realize they make pretty much all types of things

that does sound good. will add!

full disclosure i spend all day every day communicating with factories in china (I work in QA) so it's especially up my alley.

I don't know, I only watched half of it. It's not so much about manufacturing, but about a guy photographing that stuff and its detritus. I found it really boring.

they make factories

re: documentaries, "Degenerate Art" about the guy that pioneered glass pipe making

really? i saw that pop up and i was like, that seems like a niche i am very much not interested in

it was actually pretty good, the guy's pretty nice and was just doing his thing and people sort of caught on to it, learning under him and building on the techniques. shows some amazing pieces being created

noticed they added larry clarks 'bully', which is p much my fav movie

they make factories

best way of looking at it. you just blew my mind a little

OMG I just came here to talk about this

hopefully this is the first of many ken del vecchio joints on Netflix, would make me keep my subscription for sure

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0216016/

30 minutes in: in terminable man on the street interview segment with various people about abortion

First: teaming of Netflix with Disney ensures the former just got a much longer lease on life.

Second: Doctor Detroit! So many weird things about this movie revealed just in the opening credits.

Theme song by Devo!
Featuring a performance by James Brown!
Dan Aykroyd in short shorts!
Howard Hesseman as a pimp!
The name of the DP is King Baggot! (he also shot Revenge of the Nerds)
The score is from Lalo Schifrin!
Expensive Chicago location shooting!

Plus, the woman who plays the mob boss was the cover model on Supertramp's "Breakfast in America!"

Also, James Brown performance in the third act

Donna Dixon and Dan Aykroyd are still married! Before she dated him, she dated Paul Stanley!

I will queue the shit out of that!

ya, she's still lookin' good

streaming now

Freak Dance--the Matt Besser movie is up

BTW, Doctor Detroit is TERRIBLE.

hehe

LIES

Looks like a boatload of classic Doctor Who was just added.

Oh, and Alps

That's the same Dr Who stuff that was already there, but broken into the original episodes rather than being strung together. Also no subtitles, which makes late night viewing a bummer for me... video is cleaned up though.

Suffice to say I have watched little else but Who for months now.

Watched "James and the Giant Peach" with my daughter this morning. What a horrible jumble of highs and lows, shot like shit and frequently poorly or overacted out the wazoo, but with its moments.

"pastorela" - mexican dark comedy about a cop who's yearly role as the devil in the nativity play is given to someone else

Expiring in the next couple of weeks:

Sin Nombre
Che
A shit-ton of kids' shows

speaking of, transformers prime RULES

do i get free 2 day shipping with Transformers Prime?

wow, it's won daytime emmys

"mansome" a documentary about the changing ...face of facial hair grooming, by the guys that played the two older brothers in arrested development. i guess it's mostly a documentary but i can't figure out how much of the main guy featured in the longer competitive beard growing segment was just joshing

so is this gargantuan "The Story of Film: An Odyssey" thing as good as it sounds?

on a more typical note, "FDR: American Badass" just showed up (Werewolf FDR fights nazi werewolves) and I am STOKED

I like Story of Film. Hemming and Hawing over it can be found here: Mark Cousins' The History of film: An Odyssey

sometime ilxor Jeff LeVine has praised Film: An Odyssey to the skies on facebook.
