Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

couldn't sleep the other night and watched THE BIG FIX, starring Richard Dreyfuss as an ex-hippie private detective! It was not really very good, though it might've been good in someone else's hands. Some good stuff w/ F Murray Abraham as an Abbie Hoffman kinda dude. some good late 70s LA occasions. filmmakers couldn't resist the LA convention center escalators back then!

i will watch pretty much any seventies detective movie... sold!

yeah i mean, a poster like this and i can't resist

bonnie bedelia is in it too

and john lithgow! i dunno, it is kind of like a long episode of columbo, if columbo was played by richard dreyfuss.

Bill Conti on the score

i had a crush on 70's/early-80's bonnie.

otm

the Joan Rivers doc is fabulous.

if you want an amplified pop-cultural understanding of why wealth-worship is the national religion, sure.

(isn't there one moment where she says something like "Do you think it matters a fuck whether Obama or McCain is president?" Her one ray of light in 30 years)

Morbs / Joan Rivers beef is kinda glorious stuff imo

why is there a crayon sticking out of her gun

y he have a watch drawn on his cast, lotta q's

tell us

love/hate? durham county? never heard of either of them. durham county is actually on youtube for free too. or maybe i should watch inspector morse.

you should definitely watch inspector morse.

this looks completely terrible but i'm kind of a dunst completist so i might have to watch it.

because i am secretly in love with the dunst. i couldn't watch all of melancholia though. i just skipped ahead. too ridiculous of a movie even for me. the dunst looked good in it though. why does she make these movies? must be hard to find good parts out there.

Melancholia is great but it's also LvT so of course she'd take that role

room 237 is streaming now, looking forward to finally seeing it...

I watched Upside Down a couple months ago. It's gorgeous. It's also terrible. But it's REALLY gorgeous.

WHOA HOLY SHIT I AM SO EXCITED ABT THIS

i can never tell if LvT's movies are supposed to be funny or not. i guess that's the mark of a true master. always keep them guessing.

has anyone even tried "derek" at all? it has the least appealing ads ever

dude i got 90 seconds into derek

i actualyl was looking for a thread for it because i wanted to talk about how weirded out i was by it, RG's comedy underbite just freaked me the fuck out

I don't really like Ricky Gervais (there, I said it, come and get it) and the info looks horrible

i haven't watched any of his tv shows since the office bc he creeps me out as a person but i kind of want to watch a little of this one just out of morbid curiosity.

ha upside down looks amazing *adds to queue*

and yeah melancholia was great

does she have any other two planets movies

there has been tons of gervais talk on the coogan-vs-gervais thread.

derek is just...words fail me. there is no explanation for it. dude had the world in his hand after the office just as borat had the world in his hand after borat. and they both just blew it pretty bad.

SBC: Bruno is very good, and I liked his performance in Hugo. He makes an excellent cartoon villain/preening doofus.

Gervais is dead to me.

re: Gervais

I liked Extras, and to a lesser extent, Life's Too Short. Derek just screams awful, though.

ya SBC is funny in some other stuff for sure. talladega nights

i will cop to not totally hating "the dictator." it's dumb and nowhere as good or interesting as borat, but some of it made me laugh.

i dare anyone here to watch more than one episode of derek.

dare-ek

i couldnt get through more than a couple scenes.

"the dictator" is mostly bad but ben kingsley being in it amazes me

yeah sbc is fine in unrecognizable bad guy roles. this is true. but him and gervais had cache! its so hard to get cache. and now nobody really cares about either of them. i have no doubt that they will have steady employment in the future.

you need to take a long hard look at ben kingsley's imdb page then

I forgot SBCohen was in Les Misérables! Borat siiiiings

The Love Guru
Guru Tugginmypudha

BloodRayne
Kagan

Thunderbirds
The Hood

ha yes he picks the best movies love that guy

I know ben kingsley is in slop, but I can never stop being entertained by that

that said, his performance in iron man 3 was much better

its the curse of gandhi.

i like seeing his face. he's always good in anything just cuzza that good face.

he's in billions of movies. some are even good! but he's just in... everything. the curse of gandhi: the inability to rest as an actor
