Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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

Has anyone watched Continuum? Canadian sci-fi show, apparently is showing on syfy in the US, involves a cop and some prisoners who jump back in time to 2012 from 20....77

Streaming media is really going to become the new VHS-vs-BETA, HD-DVD-vs-Blu-ray, huh.

http://www.indiewire.com/article/are-streaming-subscriptions-the-right-solution-for-content-creators-or-the-easy-one

OK, so I watched the whole first season of Continuum. I think it's one of the first sci fi shows filmed in Vancouver that is also set in Vancouver! This means that a bunch of actors from other things show up. I've recognized a couple from Caprica and/or BSG, and.. the Cigarette-Smoking Man and Krycek from the X-Files!

lol

i watched "lockout" starring mr. guy pearce last night and i recommend it if you're in the mood for a really dumb, really entertaining action movie. it's basically just "escape from new york" but in space.

why is new york in space.

we're all in space, dummy

less smog

'hannah and her sisters' is my favorite space movie

Anyone watch this European production Borgia: Faith and Fear series they have no Netflix? It's a pretty much an evil and totally gory PBS historical drama. The cast is uneven, some of the episodes are pretty dense but the production is quite good. I'm hooked on it enough that I will finish the series.

In honor of Ray Manzarek...I guess:

So no more Expiring Soon on instantwatcher. How to decide what to watch?

just watch stuff that looks good and you're in the mood for

okay, maybe my favorite film from last year just came on netflix
EVERYBODy go watch Neighboring Sounds. It's amazing.

Also The Flat is good

That is great news about Neighboring Sounds. I was in a theater full of freshman college students who were in attendance for "cultural sensitivity" purposes. They were a terrible audience but it didn't detract from the film at all. I've thought about it a lot since seeing it.

it floored me when i saw it. Cannot wait for more from that director.
