Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

started a thread

have you seen SNOWTOWN aka the snowtown murders aka the grim indie bleakathon that's so worth it

Melrose Place (TV Series 1992-1999)

^^honestly one of the best decisions i've made in the past couple of years

Having now sen it, I think I can probably also recommend "Klown." It's like a cross between "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Bad Santa" and ... "Happiness?" And a bunch of other crass/un-PC/boundary pushing stuff. But mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Watched "Young Adult" w/Charlize Theron last weekend. Man, is that an arsenic cookie.

i really liked young adult, unexpectedly.

Trying to watch Young Adult finally motivated me to figure out how to change the setting on my TV that makes everything look like it's been shot on video. For that I am thankful

I liked Young Adult to a point, but it sorta left me wondering why I watched. Okay, her life is kinda shitty, it doesn't get better. I didn't want a resolution necessarily but as it stands it's just a journal entry about a shitty weekend. AND.

I dunno. I liked Charlize a lot though, and I don't usually like her.

Really? I think she's great in everything.

i don't get how someone could not like charlize

outside of some of the shit at the film's climax, which was really the plot's main exposition, I think it was a good story about life and self-image

also hilarious in that her single lifestyle is incredibly relatable in different ways for a part of the population and it looks so stark on screen

Just watched "I Think We're Alone Now" about two disturbed dudes obsessed with Tiffany. Pretty interesting, if a bit depressing.

this is amazing

tell me more about this -- how are they disturbed?

On the spectrum.

It was really good. If I recall, it never really made fun of them either.

tell me more about this -- how are they disturbed?

it's been a while since I've seen it, but iirc they're both restraining order disturbed

So House of Cards looks pretty good.

alone now is good but depressing

I can probably also recommend "Klown." ...mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm." "Two and a Half Men."

fixed

Never seen "Two and a Half Men."

skip it, try klown instead

I hear that "Two and a Half Men" is like the American "Klown."

I hear the AVN Awards are like the Danish CBS sitcoms.

You may have to wait for this Lars Von Trier crossover classic:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphomaniac_(film)

Though of course Von Trier's Puzzy Power has already taken us down that route.

any 2 minutes of "Two and a Half Men" will show ya what it's like, same with 3 endless hours of Quen--

Have you watched even one minute of "Two and a Half Men"

I HAVE, I HAVE A SISTER WITH A FAMILY. "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND" TOO.

MONSTERS

also nearly every shitty film mentioned on this thread is something I've reviewed.

I couldn't get into Klown, but it definitely didn't remind me of 2 1/2 men in the slightest. It felt more like a boring Bad Santa.

what about 'mortifying sex hijinks in the company of a pubescent boy'?

like Bad Santa?

i didn't like klown much either tbh

Oh man, I watched the Chariots of the Gods movie from 1970 on this last night, and it was fantastic. Probably not to everybody's taste, but it's really crazy and trippy and so much cooler than that "Ancient Aliens" show. The soundtrack was awesome and bonkers too, weird jazz and early synths.

the o.g. house of cards is so good

Young Girls Of Rochefort - YES

If you like pop music, the classic albums series is good.

RIP Instant Larry Sanders Show

also hilarious in that her single lifestyle is incredibly relatable in different ways for a part of the population and it looks so stark on screen

boo

kinda weird that it was on there i guess tho, being hbo

Naked Gun! Top Secret! Trading Places! Tremors!!! Colors! Terms of Endearment! The Karate Kid! And has all this classic John Carpenter - The Fog, the Thing - been here the whole time?

Breakdown!

dont have a breakdown dude, its just a bunch of movies

I may end up having a breakdown. My stream queue will take me months to decimate, and now I have to debate getting rid of DVDs I've amassed based on their (possibly temporary) place in the queue and/or whether they're still worth holding onto for the supplements, regardless. It's oddly stressful!

xxp on one of my favorite S&S lists: http://explore.bfi.org.uk/sightandsoundpolls/2012/voter/432

why is there no queue on xbox why WHY goddamnit

Young Girls Of Rochefort - YES

Love this - the Gene Kelly number where he jumps into the car at the end - so great

They just added The Sacrifice.

Also, Downtown Abbey is about to go away. Should I watch that?

Yes, but you'll feel shame afterwards.

In that case I'll just watch a few minutes to see what the fuss is about.

Orphans of the Storm added over the weekend.
