Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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!

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?

its weird. i was wondering if there was a lot of backlash (?) against this dude

must watch

I heard a Joe Meek documentary was on Instant. Need to check that out.

Kumare guy is too torn with his own sense of doing the wrong thing (also kinda boring and playing to stereotypes) to merit a backlash. Its really not worth the time.

the most wtf thing is that he thinks he is proving that people don't need gurus/spiritual leaders but has obv proved that a certain type of person totally needs it

story of film has been great so far. yeah, thought i wouldn't be able to stand the narrator's style, but i kind of love it now.
watched chariots of the gods over the weekend. obviously BS, but kind of an amazing space age fever dream.

a post in a thread about streaming films. he is unsure at first. flat lighting. soft focus. his mind changes. sharp focus. depth. is he growing? is he changing? is this art?
now a response. is THIS art? surely, it is a response but can we trust that it's cinema?

doomsday book (2012)
first off, jee-woon kim is supreme chief of modern korean directors (kim>park>bong)
this movie as larry david would say is 'eh'
kim's short film about the buddha robot was the only of the three that was well-written. i liked the other two (especially the visual effects and cinematography) but they were either too long or too short.

examined life (2008)
cornel west, slavoj zizek & other smart people talking about deep concepts i have already forgotten. watched this at 3am in the morning so i was kind of wandering into slumber but something i would def re-watch again.

fallen angels (1995)
without doyle, wong's films would look so sophomoric. wong's unabashed whimsicality is admirable putting him up above idiosyncratic directors like korine, tarr and other self-masturbatory ass clowns. but upon reflection he is one of those 'style over substance' dudes i that will never get. perhaps it's my obtuseness but i find his over-reliant use on inner monologues to be lazy and contrite (his failed attempts to romanticize alienation verbally is laughably bad). what was the point of having a contract killer in this movie? he could've been a nebbish librarian, a garbageman aka any other profession where you don't make many decisions.
i understand that his films are extremely mood based but COME ON.
in conclusion, i thought this was better than chungking express because the music was soothing, fitting and the characters for the most part were likable.

beyond the black rainbow (2010)
this is a cool looking piece of shit.

bela tarr is a self-masturbatory ass-clown, huh

beyond the black rainbow (2010)
this is a cool looking piece of shit

OTM

Great music, great visuals, terrible movie.

to be fair, there wasn't much movie there!

is the master on instant? could not find it!!

no.

sorry earlier, I was riffing off of the dude who dupes a bunch of people into thinking hes some kind of guru

I don't think so? But I am watching it on disc ATM and it is pretty crazy

wrong thread, but I liked joaquin phoenix's routine in most of that film

THANKS FOR TRICKING ME, MH

do you have dvd, blu-ray, or some sort of video service? ilx message me, I will send you a copy of this film. unfortunately, if you need physical media there will be delay.

lol, don't worry about it!! i have plenty to watch. and i will watch it when it is available on teh netflix, if that happens

brb faxing u 'the master'
