Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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.

Teh Gold Rush about to go away

Along with Sherlock, Jr. and Our Hospitality.

hippie masala sounds awesome

recommend me unobvious french language movies available for instant viewing plz

Lost Girl, a syfy-esque urban fantasy series clearly filmed in Canada (based on the accents) about a succubus. It's terrible. I love it.

xp Do not watch "The Women of the 5th Floor" or wahtever that one's called, it seems like it's going to be sensitive and good and then turns infuriating.

The Women on the 6th Floor, as it turns out. Still don't do it.

I tried watching that movie that has John Cusack as Edgar Allen Poe and had to quit after about 15 minutes.

lol @ that

lol @ that existing i mean

dunno if theyre unobvious but 'les bonnes femmes', anything by jean rollin, 'the kid w/ a bike'

godard's une femme est une femme and film socialisme

the red baloon, betty blue, forbidden games, the young girls of rochefort, time out, code unknown are all worth a shot. secret things is kind of saucy but underrated imo.

some of those are obvious I guess w/e

i think i saw secret things in the theater?

anyone else watch the Gainsbourg biopic? It's really weird but kind of awesome.

the semi-animated one? never saw that

I dug the gainsbourg trailer when it came out but got the feeling it wouldn't be delivering on its promise

another great nonobvious french film is the awfully-titled love me if you dare but I don't think that's streaming anymore

stream me if you dare

I was looking forward to more films by the guy who did secret things but everything he did afterwards was gross

gainsbourg is by joann sfar who recently released rabbi's cat
i'm a little scared to watch gains; i'm a big fan of sfar and the reviews were kinda scathing

Saw that "Safety Not Guaranteed" is up. The movie is *horrible.*

S'alright

Horrible. The worst thing, ever. Like, the horrible boss who is an asshole and not funny yet who is the focus of some much of the movie even though he is horrible and not funny? The Indian guy? Plaza? Duplass? All terrible in this smug my-first-film indulgence that made me angry for giving it a chance.

watched it tonight

eh

It's alright

but Audrey Plaza is hot!!!

not hot enough for you to get her name right, apparently!

lol tru dat

maria made me watch one of those arty dr. morbius movies last night. The Polish Bride. she kept telling me i had to see it and i'd put her off forever cuz the title always made me think of seinfeld movie titles and a young woman's erotic journey from milan to minsk. it was boring. and so dutch. but maria likes dutch stuff and hearing dutch what with her being a dutch translator and a former dutch resident. one of those movies where everyone follows art movie dream logic so it doesn't really matter what they do or why they do it. lead actress wears troll make-up at the start and then gets progressively less troll-like. very strange. after we watched that i put on Nothing Sacred to wash the Dutch cheese out of my mouth. Ben Hecht can make everything okay again.

in retaliation i'm gonna make her watch the german movie HELL. which i loved. and maria speaks german too so that will lure her in.

fight fire with fire, make her watch even dwarfs started small

i remember seeing a bunch of ads for the 1999 'animal farm' when it came out and it looked pretty horrible. i'd stick to the '50s cartoon.

gotta echo what's been said. watched Safety Not Guaranteed bc of Aubrey Plaza, what a massive piece of shit

it's watchable crap but it is the type of sitcom arthouse clogger you can use as a symptom of the decline of american indie cinema

i liked it

Sub sitcom, because sitcoms are funny

I don't really watch sitcoms

sitcoms arent funny iirc

I started watching "The Shield" recently, does it count as a sitcom?

Sure!

See you in three days.

Best show.

that is where I am watching it!
