Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

House I Live In is very good. Even though the material is largely old hat for me (prison-industrial complex, mandatory minimums, powder-crack ratios, etc.) there was still stuff to learn -- in particular the stuff about how meth is changing the racial dynamics of the drug war -- and it's well done and moving.

i hadn't heard of that but i will watch it. thanks hurting

Also it has kind of a unified theory of race and the drug war that I've never heard put together before. Hard to say whether the theory is 100% on point or not, but was pretty interesting.

Been watching Murder in Suburbia, which has a bizarre comedic tone for a show about police who investigate murders, but is strangely compelling. And To the Ends of the Earth, mostly because it has a lot of Benedict Cumberbatch, but also takes place entirely at sea. Holding off on Orange is the New Black for now.

after years, it seems, of just offering the xmas special or whatever it was, the full league of gentlemen is up now. been happily rewatching.

I love all the oth characters in Hit & Miss, and their accents, and the scenery, and the manky old farmhouse, and the mean guy from town, and just everything except them trying to make Sevigny look physically intimidating. The shots of her working a heavy bag are laughable, and the 11-yo kid she's supposed to be "teaching" how to punch should be teaching HER. He seems like a natural, which just makes her look worse.

It has a nice slow pace, too. There are lots of shots of people's faces doing nothing, or just short bits of a person sitting in a room that doesn't directly tell anything abt the plot but just represents their feelings for 4 seconds. It's very un-American.

i enjoyed Erased today. fast-paced aaron eckhart euro-bourne-style doublecrosscat&mouse thing. you know, if you like those movies where someone is running for their life AND they just happen to be an expert killer.

this is really appealing to me but idk abt the rest of what that show looks like. plus i think im getting anxious abt the amt of tv i watch so am really hesitant to watch new things

hey, Fear City is on now. one of my fave lesser-known abel ferrara movies. just in case you haven't seen it and you like that sort of thing.

oh man i tried to watch an adam scott sundance movie and it was too painful. it was so sundance. written by a 17 year old? seemed like it. i don't want to know if it gets better.

Rewatching The Wonder Years from the beginning.

I wonder why they got the rights to keep all the music inside the episodes but replaced the Joe Cocker theme with a lousy soundalike.

"it's a disaster" is a pretty decent low-key indie comedy if that's what you're in the mood for.

watched a bit of Shut Up And Play The Hits last night -- didn't realize they were such a sick/tight live band and that Murphy was such a strong live vocalist.

Do they just have the interview/concert film version? I honestly have never watched that whole bit but the physical release contained a disc of just the full concert.

yeah it's concert interspliced with interview. He's a pretty decent interview also.

I haven't watched it because lol klosterman, but I should get over myself

Watched the My Amityville Horrordocumentary last night. Focuses on Daniel Lutz who was 10 yrs old at the time his family lived there. Doesn't really support the family's paranormal claims, but is really engrossing/terrifying as a study in child abuse and domestic violence.

i wanna watch that but i'm kinda scared to watch that. i wanna know/i don't wanna know. such a big thing in my childhood. that book.

I was pretty creeped out/jumping at shadows when I went to bed last night! I remember being 8 yrs old in the back of a Pinto during a road trip to my grandma's making my mom read passages of the book to me. Was later convinced Jodie the pig was lurking around my grandmas house for the rest of that summer vacation.

Darin super otm -- there's nothing scary about My Amityville Horror unless emotional wreckage scares you (which it should, really).

I have it on my list to watch, I was so obsessed with that book in high school

The In Search Of doc freaked me out as a kid. The doll with glowing eyes was in my nightmares.

oh man nobody told me that Juliet was on this Revolution show. Lost crushes might just seem sad now...

wait, no, apparently she dies like five minutes into the pilot. oops. that sucks.

I watched My Amityville Horror last night. There's a cameo appearance from Annabelle the doll.

The Good Thief is on Netflix, watching the shit out of that tomorrow night

wait, no, apparently she dies like five minutes into the pilot. oops. that sucks.

she's not really dead

Antiviral by Cronenberg Jr isn't without it's merits.

i started to watch the amityville doc and thought it was funny that one of the first things he says is that he doesn't want to be associated with it or have anything to do with it. but i guess the doc was his wsy of letting go. and yet i don't know if that's really the way to go when so much of the doc is him rolling around the town he lives in. and telling people the name of the town he lives in. he's a great compelling talker though. i was sleepy so i just closed my eyes and listened to him talk. he should read mickey spillane novels on tape. would buy.

i really enjoyed In The Name Of The King, by the way. fun. despite my nemesis leelee being in it. ray liotta subhuman army was tops.

god, seeing Juliet on that show just made me so MAD about Lost again. Grrrrrr....so sad. such an experiment in mass nihilism. all that stuff you cared about? NONE of it matters. ugh.

probably why i'm so scared to keep watching Fringe. and why i stopped.

well, Revolution sucks the whole way through there won't be any disappointing ending

Antiviral by Cronenberg Jr isn't without it's merits.

i saw this pop up yesterday! i was like whaaaa?? hopefully we can continue to get weirdo body freak-out cronenberg joints down through the ages, with each generation taking up the baton

Heavily influenced by his father's more high-concept body horror days

i think i gotta see that now.

Oh, hey, BettyBlue is streaming. Just stay with it through the first 5 minutes of fucking.

that's on netflix? I will be watching it immediately.

xpost the cat movie, obviously

putting Cosmopolis and Antiviral in my instant queue has earned me the suggested genre of "Cerebral Canadian Movies"

oh god how many times did I watch betty blue in college

been watching "a talking cat!?!?!"
that music plays throughout. it doesn't stop.

there's a great deal of plot surrounding cheese puffs

it feels like any minute everyone is going to start fucking
