Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Are there any worthwhile comedies streaming right now? I know I've asked this in the past, but it's the genre I'm most afraid to dive into without having my hand held.

I think they've got some Buster Keaton on there, you might give him a try.

big shock for everybody - i watched that and it was not very good

Hail Mary FULL OF BLOOD

You guys want super insane bizarro nuns, you MUST see...what's it called...i can't remember but i posted about it upthread
It's worth a try if this ^^ description appeals to you.

ok i found it
THE SINFUL NUNS OF ST VALENTINE.

it is not a comedy

whoa upstream color

huh! i guess he figured he was gonna sell as many as he could up front.
that's before the dvd release to mass market i think?

nice! streaming already?

DVD is out today, I think.

The DVD has been out for well over a month

directly through his site, yes, but not through general distribution to the best of my knowledge

i saw it on dvd through netflix about a month ago.

I almost bought it in Best Buy about 6 weeks ago. They had a bunch of them. Nice cover/artwork, too.

wow a whole lotta o.g.'s in this thread

i am shane carruth btw

awesome, you're learning? i bet you're gonna be great when you can figure out how to center.

hmmmmm... was just thinking to myself "re-watching primer while you list stuff on ebay is probably a good way to spend this rainy miserable day." now, a double feature.

been watching Fringe cuzza you guys. well, maybe not specifically YOU guys. ilx in general. never would have watched it otherwise probably. still on the first season. definitely gets better with every episode and all the people in it get better too.

Marley is pretty good

also watched Kagemusha, liked that

did someone say the surreal-kung-fu-fantasy-dream-coma-alternate-reality-and-also-real-reality-movie "ink" was recommended and also on netflix watch instantly? cause i just saw it and i thought it was v good, like best movie i've seen this year good, you should watch it etc

Saw Cabin in Woods yesterday, pretty underwhelming. Feel like it needed the atmosphere/low expectations of a midnight movie audience.

feel like YOU nee

Yes, surprisingly movies don't work as well on my 27 inch TV that reflects the neighbour's garden wall, versus a cinema full of drunk excited people

cabin in the woods made me so mad

u crazy

It was FUN and original, but it was also sort of sloppy and "just okay". Whitford was great, but Richard Jenkins just passed me by, and the kids were just terribly bland (even by Scream standards).

describes every Joss Whedon thing

Cloverfield was much better (and scarier), despite being effectively non-meta and having equally nothingy protagonists

Crazy talk. Cloverfield made me yell at the screen. See Cabin again.

ive got my reservations about cabin in the woods level of hype, but its still one of the top 5 horror comedies of the last 10 years for sure

i liked the concept, i just got so mad that the way they flipped the script on a ~typical boring horror movie~ was by introducing elements from a ~typical boring mission impossible/superhero movie~

Merman

Flipped the script? The movie starts out pretty flipped! And Mission Impossible/Superhero?

by that i mean "hidden secret network of hyper-tech all accessed by a lone secluded command center" zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

watched "Technicolor Dream" last night and really liked it. Mostly about the early years of Pink Floyd but also the underground in London in the sixties, the UFO club, the beats at the royal albert hall etc.

Oh that sounds good, I just read the joe boyd book a couple of months ago

he is interviewed fairly heavily in the film. there is some great floyd footage. pretty things also featured a bit. roger waters being a dick saying things like "i just wanted to get rich and fuck girls." and "i don't remember the london free school or any of that underground stuff.."

sold!

any ISB content?

a cinema full of drunk excited people

oh ppl go to the movies drunk? no wonder they all love shit.
