Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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!

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.

what seriously

yeah there is totally a queue

get a queue

A few notable silent titles now available: Man with a Movie Camera, The General, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mark of Zorro, and a few Griffiths (Broken Blossoms, Way Down East, Orphans in a Storm).

Been a lot of Buster on there for a while.

there is no q on my app

suxx

are you sure

think it may be a UK-specific problem; checking on netflix.com and there doesn't seem to be a way to queue things there either

also

The Queue was originally created for our DVD service (which is only available in the US) so that we would know which DVD to ship next after we received one back in the mail. The queue was already available to US members when the streaming service was added, and was adapted for streaming titles. We do want to provide our members from the UK and Ireland with the ability to save specific titles to watch later and strive to make that feature available globally. However, in testing with streaming-only members , we've found that the Queue as it is now doesn't get much utilization. As a result, as we've previously mentioned, we are testing a number of interesting alternatives for saving titles to make sure we get the “watch it later” experience right.

that explanation is weirdly otm psychologically but bullshit practically

watched THE BRIDGE (2006) on netflix

what an incredible documentary but what a fkn downer too

is that the snuffleupagus movie?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2007/feb/16/documentary

Just read that queue thing and it kind of makes sense. I am in the US therefore I have the queue but maybe they should add something like ILX's "Delete All My Bookmarks Now" to address the psychological issue described.

Has anyone watched the Marianne Faithfull doc?

girl on a motorcycle is the only faithfull doc you need

Omg, this movie "Terrorvision." I don't even know what to say.

I've always kinda wanted to see that because one of my favorite forgotten 80s art-damage bands, The Fibonaccis, do the title song.

did the fibonaccis do their pre-song countdown as "8! 5! 3! 2! 1! 1!"?

hahaha that is a killer idea. It actually seems like something they would have done. They were pretty pocket-protector-y.

terrorvision is incredible. it gets played on TCM!!!

It is soooooooo weird. Like an '80s fever dream.

Everyone else is, so I'm watching House of Cards. I like it so far!

finally watching sum wild china gddamn nature yall

bamboo grows 3 ft a day? gtfo bamboo

private practices the story of a sex surrogate (1985)

o_o

Is that about the woman played by Helen Hunt in that movie?

no, but it about a woman who was a practicing surrogate in the 80's

Hippie Masala just got added-- awesome doc about westerners who wandered in to India in the 60's and 70's and never came back

some 70s horror added recently, house of whipcord (and a couple other pete walker films but inexplicably no frightmare) and the asphx

I've a notion to watch Animal Farm (1999). Anyone wanna warn me otherwise?

It was released in 1999 by Hallmark Films to mixed reviews. It currently holds a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
