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.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 01:29 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Blue Yodel No. 9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 02:09 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Blue Yodel No. 9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 03:16 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 03:45 (eleven years ago) link
by "available again someday" i mean i'll have other chances to see them, not that netflix will necessarily bring it back
― da croupier, Wednesday, 1 May 2013 03:46 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― rock 'em sock 'em (Treeship), Wednesday, 1 May 2013 05:13 (eleven years ago) link
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.

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.

For b movie weirdness that is way weirder than one would expect, "dead end" with ray wise is pretty awesome
― O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Friday, 3 May 2013 01:44 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― arby's, Friday, 3 May 2013 02:18 (eleven years ago) link
"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.

there also a film by nic winding refns father
Flying Devils(De Flyvende Djævle)1985NR1hr 50mIn 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.
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 May 2013 23:06 (eleven years ago) link
as a refn film, i did not expect 'trapeze maneuver' to follow 'execute' there.
