Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

yeah Ironclad is pretty great for a ridic low budget castle movie

it was slated to be a big budget thing with Megan Fox and then the bottom fell out and they were left with a bare-bones cast and no money

there's an article about it somewhere

hold plz

aha! found it

eighteen (!) executive producers

Parallax View is like one of my fave movies ever. The sound design is so killer. Times where you can barely hear the conversation because of water or wind. The crazy montage training film thing. Sure, it doesn't have the gravitas of The Conversation, but it's definitely a top 70s conspiracy movie.

I watched Valhalla Rising last night. Found it fairly perplexing and gruesome. Reminded me a bit of Aguirre, the Wrath of God.

In other Netflix news, lately it's been doing very poorly with staying in HD. It keeps going back and forth between HD and highly pixelated, which I'm finding ever more aggravating.

started parker last night and don't know if i'll finish it, esp. if the beginning is supposed to be the best part. not very good.

i dug valhalla. just don't see stuff like that very much. plus, i'm a sucker for long journeys. #milo&otis4ever

needed more cute cats 'n' dogs 'n' pigs, less entrails

i like that movie on netflix about the dudes breaking out of siberian prison and traveling thousands of miles. can't remember title. and there is ANOTHER one about a woman breaking out of siberia to save her kid, but i haven't seen that one yet.

Sounds interesting. Valhalla Rising I am coming.
(Xp)

same director who did Drive. which i also liked a lot and which was also kind of gruesome at times.

Maybe I had gone extra soft because it was shortly after my daughter was born, but I found myself unable to watch Valhalla Rising.

Valhalla is slow as hell but pretty haunting.

Likewise, I watched Enter the Void a few weeks back (is it still on there?). It's really long and pretty slow at times and I went into thinking it was just going to be colorful and while watching it I was mostly like "this is pretty ridiculous" but it's really stuck with me and now I think I loved it.

i want to watch his Pusher trilogy but they only have the 3rd one on netflix streaming.

enter the void is unique, that's for sure!

kind of an endurance test.

Enter the Void is all downhill after the credits.

scott you watch scandal? second season up

I thought the whole movie (enter the void) was going to be like the credits so I braced myself and was surprised how slow it was. But I did end up liking it. Took me a few days to decide that though.

mads mikkelsen as a captive of vikings, how can you not love it re: VR

Enter the Void is so self-indulgent

its one of those movies that kind of punishes you for liking movies like von trier and haneke and some people really enjoy being punished. i can usually take like 30 minutes of any of their movies and i get the concept and move on.

like, if i thought they were brilliant or something i might hang longer. but i don't think they are brilliant. they have kinda cool eyes.

like watching daniel day blood movie the other night you can see how hard PTA wants to be brilliant. kinda makes me uncomfortable for him.

I think PTA is overrated.

You guys are all mean Netflix'ers.

thought for a second you guys were talking about Touching the Void and was like "no way is that movie slow" but it is an endurance test of sorts!

the Joan Rivers doc is fabulous.

really?

i kind of hated it for being so sympathetic towards her. it had some moments but it felt like she had approval of the final cut

Is anyone else who streams nf through their ps3 having this gdamn issue where no matter what movie you select, it loads up to 25%, stalls at 25 for a long time, then gives an error msg? This has been the case for a solid week now. Nf is working on our laptops just fine. Driving me nuts.

it happens every once in a while. we use the wii though. can be maddening.

i kind of hated it for being so sympathetic towards her. it had some moments but it felt like she had approval of the final cut

haha what? did you want some kind of scathing expose on joan rivers?

i use it thru ps3 and have never had that happen to me THANK GOD.

Only trubshoot I can think of is to uninstall/reinstall nf on the ps3.

I never see buffering, quality starts out shit, improves to the highest available and then occasionally dips back to shit for a few moments. I can't figure out if Netflix or Time Warner Cable is to blame; it happens less on my PS3 than Roku but still happens.

we have had to turn our wireless modem thing off and turn it back on again a bunch over time. i dunno. sometimes we have to reset the wii to get the netflix to work.

what to watch with the kids tonight...

i can't take the suite life or futurama for one more minute. oof. gotta find a movie for us all. enjoyed the 4th spy kids the other night.

i watched saturday night fever for the first time this morning

ending is a bit bzarre, i mostly liked it travolta is sufficiently amazing, iconic

The 4400 is terrible, whose bright idea was this.

Canada just got The Tree of Life, 13 Assassins, and......... The Beaver

paranorman was pretty cool. season 7 of army wives is up. first ep is waaaaaay too sad. over the top sad. yeesh. i am officially the only person on ilx who watches army wives so disregard this post.

we are watching WHO KILLED KURT COBAIN? and it is kinda.. ridiculous. dylan carlson looks so junked out, it's pretty sad.

are you talking abt kurt & courtney, lmao when the guy rushes the stage, unbelievable what a feeb

tho my favorite part is maybe when the scarey punk guy whos obvs just clowning around declares he knows who killed kurt and hes willing to spill the beans for the price of one drink, then the narration kicks in at that point it was clear it was time to go DUDE HE WAS JUST ABT TO TELL U

and courtneys dad fn a dark dark shit vv stupid weird people

yeah, kurt & courtney, lol.

that guy nick broomfield is something, his entire tupac doc consists of people looking at him like you cannot possibly be serious

oh man he made one abt palin i might have to check that out, theyre kinda made for each other

lol

hank's got a website!
