Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

what about One Crazy Summer or Better Off Dead?

I've been on a Savage Steve kick, they sure are fun to revisit

XP I KNOW RIGHT?? I had no idea.

better off dead is probably too dark for kids

we watched crappy animated things. and now the netflix won't work for some reason. cheapo computer animation can look sad. cute big-eyed animals don't look as cute. they get b-actors to do the voices. we watched a chinese-made kung fu rabbit thing and it was tom arnold and michael clarke duncan and napoleon dynamite and rebecca black!

ohh I know the one you mean; I saw a trailer for that & it looked vv weird & creepy

Is that the one with the animals trying to give a very special environmental message to the humans?

nah, its just about a chinese rabbit who makes sweet cakes and how a dying monkey gives him the ultimate power of kung fu.

Haha awesome

That Panzram documentary was very good.

Watched the Tupac documentary Thug Angel, as well. I quite like it. It was really interesting that they kept comparing and contrasting the 17-year old 2pac with his older self through interviews.

tonight watching The Dunwich Horror.

Best title sequence ever.

Tried to watch Park Avenue (doc) but found it really obvious and elementary.

Took Ian's advice and watched Time Bandits this evening with my son. Still an enjoyable film.

watched Darkman last night holy shit worst film ever jesus christ the absolute worst

On second episode of American Horror Story. Avoided it orig. because I HATE Glee. OMG this is amazing. It's a bit over the top, squeezing every single horror trope and cliche into every minute, but it's really really well done, smartly done. And despite being a "TV" show, and basic cable at that, it's pretty much R rated surprisingly. Not sure how they get away with it but it's way bloodier and more sexual than anything I've ever seen on basic cable. Good October watching.

The Liam Neeson Darkman? That movie's awesome.

darkman is a classic

^^

Dark man sequels horrible. Original awesome.

DIE DARKMAN DIE

ok, that one might be ok, title saves it

no it's shit.

at least we'll always have the title

is it meant to be that schlocky/cheesy/camp/wooden? Just terrible.

HUGE HUGE laughs at several points though, "TAKE THE FUCCCCCCKKKHHHINNN EEEELPHANT" being the highloght.

Obviously you are not terribly familiar with vintage Sam Raimi (or Robocop or Larry Cohen or any number of a million things that are great and campy/schlocky) but yeah it's supposed to be. If you were expecting On The Waterfront I guess you'd be disappointed.

Darkman is AWESOME

why havent i seen darkman

why

That's a very good question! DARKMAN is the shit.

there's a weird doc about Nicolae Ceaușescu that's just strung together archival footage with no narration. I only watched parts of it -- kind of dry but interesting at the same time. You get a lot of face-to-face time with the man, since there are so many unabridged speech clips. Strangely, he comes off as kind of second-rate, not that smart, like a mediocre and amoral functionary who stumbled into a dictatorship but grew into the role. His face even seemed to become more twisted and evil looking as time went on.

Alex: that makes sense. I'd seen Army of Darkness so kind of expected something similar. Maybe I just wasnt in the mood for it. I have a hard time with those kind of films anyway, so am fully prepared to chalk this one down to my own failings as a viewer.

i suggest everyone watches the punk rock episode of quincy. episode 8, season 8.

Feel both Netflix and Comcast On Demand—and tv in gen—are really failing this year on the fun Halloween times horror selections. That said, watched Elvira: Mistress of the Dark last night and it was great fun. Wife and I both agreed we now have even bigger crushes on Elvira than we did before.

essential viewing if you've never seen it. from the man who brought you weekend at bernie's:

Danny Stetson (Michael O'Keefe) is a clean-cut, all-American college student and gymnast with dreams of Olympic gold when he's lured into "Homeland," a youth-oriented religious commune, by a compellingly beautiful girl, Rebecca (Karen Allen). Here he is programmed by the charismatic leader, Neil Kirklander (Peter Fonda), to believe that his new life now has the true meaning that it previously lacked.
Anguished by their son's disappearance, Danny's parents (Elizabeth Ashley and Brian Dennehy), hire a modern-day bounty hunter, Charles Pratt (James Woods), to abduct Danny and exorcise his brainwashed mind, but the psychological change could be traumatizing.

Chips Rafferty was something like the John Wayne of Australian movies, I think that was his last one.

a weird doc about Nicolae Ceaușescu that's just strung together archival footage with no narration

north dallas forty is my favorite sports movie
