Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

xpost, um, bernardo bertolucci and gus van sant are not in the movie. But Lynch, Scorsese, Fincher, et al. are, and no, they will not be hiring Keanu any time soon.

i

no way scorsese works w/ some middling pretty boy like keanu! can you imagine???

I can, would be awesome!

Pretty boy or no, Leo can at least act, on occasion. Marty would have to build the film around Keanu's persona. I'd suggest something involving ... virtual reality.

i have no idea what you are joking about at this point

Untitled Martin Scorsese/Keanu Reeves project.

sad keanu jokes.

watched 'the imposter' last night. p good. there was a nyer story abt this a few yrs ago but it's prob best if you go in cold. also, it's a lil too much of an errol morris imposter in style, too glossy, needs some rough edges imo

Reel Injun is a really interesting look at the portrayal of native americans throughout the history of cinema.

snow on tha bluff

up there w/ catfish in the v impressively staged/editing/managed verite thing that is prob more fun 2 deconstruct than engage w/

Kinda agree with this w/r/t the verite feel-- can't remember the last movie that did it better. Even though there's barely a narrative / has such a blah ending, I'm really surprised Snow on Tha Bluff doesn't get talked up more.

IN THE DARK HALF

ruled, so foreboding

...i still have no idea what it was about

this movie is pretty far out. good movie to watch on acid if you have any. people still do acid, right?

I don't have any acid but that looks awesome

when you posted it on FB I was wondering why you were digging a doc about kiefer sutherland

Cool.

I watched "Reel Injun" last night, really interesting. I want to see some of the aboriginal films they showed at the end. And "The Silent Enemy".

Also, it's on youtube.

Ha! about 10 seconds into that trailer I started thinking this is looking like some heavy Anselm Keifer vibes...looks good.

it's intense. i was kinda stoned when i watched it. but not on acid. it moves slowly and malevolently in a weird way. horror movie strings at the beginning make you think you are gonna see crazy murders or something. its worth it just to watch his process if you are a fan of his work. and they let him build his own crazy underground city in france!

These things really come and go:
About to expire unwatched from my list tonight:
Bedazzled
The Woman in the Window
The Black Pirate
Que Viva Mexico

Expiring in two days:
Stranger: Bernie Worrell on Earth

you have watchlists? they tell you when movies are gonna expire?

netflixUS is so much better a service than netflix UK...

Their explanation of why watchlists don't work liked to upthread neglects this watch-it-before-it-expires motivation.

http://instantwatcher.com/titles/expiring

Yea, I use that too. Does that apply to the UK, are the rights the same?

I doubt it. The rights seemed to be completely different between the US and Canada, even.

they show expiring canuck stuff too though.

i should really watch that bernie worrell doc that is going away...

Yup. You should also watch the Robert Moog doc that he is in.

Refn film "Bronson" is apparently expiring, go watch that

Popeye! Anaconda! Pretty In Pink! Manhunter!

i do not recommend popeye! assuming it's the altman popeye!

fyi the octopus scene gave me nighmares when I was a kid

consider yrself warned :)

The Howling 3: The Marsupial

(No, not kidding)

That movie is bad even by bad movie standards.

No way you are all crazy. Harry Nilsson soundtrack.

Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl come on.

Talking about Howling 3, not Popeye, which has its charms (the latter).

cmon, i love popeye!

also recently added (to netflix and queue): THE SINFUL NUNS OF ST VALENTINE.

popeye is altman's best movie

i'm really hip so my faves are the late 70's weird string of 3 women/a wedding/quintet/a perfect couple. if i were younger and hipper it would be o.c. and stiggs. i like popeye though. its fun.

Aleksandr Medvedkin's Happiness!

xxpost

I can't in good consciousness rank Popeye above, say, 3 Women or Nashville, but I find it heartwarming how this film has been reclaimed from the heap of "Notorious Flops that Killed The Last Golden Age of American Movies" in the years since its release.

Fwiw, both my wife and I enjoyed it as kids when it came out. I'm pretty sure I owned the soundtrack.

i
love
popeye

that's awesome. I can totally picture you wandering around the house singing "He Needs Me".

haha
it's a great soundtrack and i liked the movie too
shelley duvall rules forever and ever

ive ignored that story of the odyssey of film semicolon the miniseries thing but thats prob good rite

Finally watching Archer, season three. Awwww yeah.

i watched the entirety of story of film (did they ever fix that one broken hour?) and it was very very very good; talked me into getting a hulu sub for criterion films and i've not regretted it
for a long time after though, you'll hear that guy's ulster accent going up at the end of each sentence in your mind when you watch anything.
"two people. sitting alone on a bench. he leans in. whispers. she reacts. what's been said? we cannot know? is it art? is it film? is it a moment of truth? the questions are more fitful than the answers. she walks away. close focus. sharp light. we're in an office. the sound of copiers. a man at work."

oh yay, they fixed that. Gotta watch ep 13 now!

I watched the Ozu segment of that on youtube and immediately put it on my Amazon wishlist. I may not wait for gift giving opportunities to go ahead and get it.

Speaking of Ozu, a bunch of stuff was added to the Hulu Criterion list in the last few weeks -- early Ozu, several by Fassbinder, some Soderbergh, Nagisa Oshima, DeMille's King of Kings. Looks like 75-80 films total.

have yall watched this documentary Kumare about the dude who dupes a bunch of people into thinking hes some kind of guru

saw it in the theaters, it is wishywashy and kinda wack

the master?
