Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I'm going with a _Cult of the Damned_/_Golden Needles_ double-bill.

Here's what's going missing from my list for future reference:
The Decameron
Elvira Madigan
Hidden Fear
The Passionate Friends
Cul-De-Sac
The White Bus
Blithe Spirit
Passion of Anna
Navajo Joe
Mulholland Dr.
Countryman
The Lady Vanishes
The Stranger
A Tale of Springtime
Hour of the Wolf
Young and Innocent

Highly recommend the last, a British Hitchcock with all the elements leading to a perfect denouement.

Honestly, there are so many movies in my queue at this point that I have no idea how many will vanish. Over time I've sort of learned to appreciate the erratic Netflix catalog, since it keeps me focuses on fewer films (I still won't get to watch for month) at a time.

Elvira Madigan is suppsedly amongst a group Bo Widerberg films coming soon from Olive films (who, btw, don't supply netflix w/discs).

Thanks, will keep an eye out.

Feel better now that I made that tiny list, given the disproportionate amount of effort spent wresting with the clunky interface to find stuff worth watching.

Sure your all too busy watching to post. I'm not going to go crazy like on The Weekend of the Streaming Criterions, just watched some bits and pieces of stuff soon going to crash.

Wound up passing on The Landlord, The Visitors and Last Embrace as "obscure works from big directors" will probably be available again someday. Watched bits of the rest and all I could really recommend is Golden Needles for MST3k fans and Theater Of Blood for Vincent Price fans.

by "available again someday" i mean i'll have other chances to see them, not that netflix will necessarily bring it back

Yeah Golden Needles was the shit. Recommended for West Coasters, you still have two hours.

i don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but godard's "a woman is a woman" is on netflix instant. i love that film.

Yeah, that's on my list but I've seen it before and it ain't going away but thanks. And now I can hear some of the tunes from it in my head.

We on East Coast get the hours too, I think, but maybe that's only if we've already started watching. Please some of us gotsa sleep.

Woke up and my queue was still there. The White Bus is 47 minutes long, So far so good.

Which is expiring but is not part of the MGM/UA package.

But is streaming on Amazon. Too confusing.

OK, this movie is pretty awesome. Not sure why I waited thirty years to see it.

And it's on youtube as well.

A young Anthony Hopkins sings a song by Brecht, in German!

Manny Farber would have liked it, Shelagh Delaney script without Rita Tushingham.

thanks for the tip on the dunwich horror! lovecraft unfilmability is still fun to see in the attempt

Tried to hit instantwatcher to see what films were still left and about to expire but server was swamped and was denied.

The Passionate Friends and Passion of Anna somehow survived the purge.

Passion is no ordinary word.

I have heard that mgm has let the rights lapse on some if not all of their Bergmans.

For b movie weirdness that is way weirder than one would expect, "dead end" with ray wise is pretty awesome

had to read that like four times before i realized you weren't talking about "wrong turn", which did not star ray wise and was not awesome. dead end looks really fun tho.

"Zapped!" is streaming. So is "Nude for Satan" and "Remo Williams." And if you haven't seen it, the Fishbone doc (that expires soon) is great.

anybody seen gomorrah? i've wanted to see that. maybe i will.

yah, it's great

when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's

dont worry abt expiring mgm/ua stuff, theyve added http://cdn-7.nflximg.com/us/boxshots/large/70022337.jpg

theres some actual decent & cool shit i can rep for that has come back actually

the apple
bad timing
a forest for the trees
harry + tonto

there also a film by nic winding refns father

Flying Devils(De Flyvende Djævle)
1985NR1hr 50m
In this offbeat melodrama from accomplished Danish director Anders Refn, a family of aerialists decides to go after the $250,000 prize being offered to any group that can execute a next-to-impossible trapeze maneuver. However, personal dramas and financial difficulties soon threaten to overtake the flyers' pursuit of the elusive quadruple somersault. The film received a Robert Award as the best Danish film of 1985.

as a refn film, i did not expect 'trapeze maneuver' to follow 'execute' there.

Hey alt horror comedy types - cabin in the woods and John dies at the end are both up now

cabin in the woods is A+ would rewatch

every time I watch it I end up rewatching it

hell of a lot of catalogue stuff

seriously. and most of it hella obscure
is anybody doing hemlock grove? is there even a thread?

So did nobody watch the Netflix series HEMLOCK GROVE except me?

ha, appropriate title. i suppose i'll give it a go at some point.

dunwich horror is streaming again, BTW

i've been trying to convince my girlfriend that john dies at the end will be worth watching but she ain't hearin' it. it's totally gonna be one of those arby's-drunk-and-lolling-all-by-his-lonesome deals. but anyway i couldn't find a thread for it, am i right?

I talked abt it on the rolling horror thread a bit

Cabin in the Woods was great. Thanks Netflix thread for reminding me I was planning to watch! John Dies At The End cued up for my next movie time.

i thought it sucked (JDATTE)

perhaps try JSingles instead

Che is back on instant.

Anyone seen SHAKMA? Because a drugged baboon attacking a bunch of LARPers sounds awesome.

That film box terrified me as a videostore going youngster iirc
