Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

please just wave them, cats and televisions are natural enemies and I cannot condone the escalation of this strife

throwing cats is frowned upon in this household.
is arrow campier than the bbc robin hood? cuz i loooove the bbc robin hood.

also, starting tomorrow helen's sister's family is here for three weeks sooooo LITTLE KIDZ.

All right, I'll wave them.

xp Are they staying w you??? This is clearly madness if so.

yes, they are staying here!!! we get the air mattress!
they are v cute kids, tbh. 3 and 6. something about small children with english accents makes me always lol. (sorry british ilxors, this is just honesty.)

Yes I just imagine them saying "Mummy" over and over.

otm.

i wish babylon five was available on instant watch :(

gimme the loot was fuckin rad as hell (& i could give a fuck abt graffiti)

i saw gimme the loot at the opening with the two leads and the director and producer. loved it, they were all charming in the film and at the Q&A and i'm expecting them all to do wonderful things in the future. it's more honest than it has to be and smarter, less moralizing and more open than you'd expect. the lead woman is routinely abused and brutalized and consistently bounces back; lead guy's secret middle class world revealed at the end explains a lot about his ennui. director is the white kid who the lead scams into giving up the backpack of weed btw.

Just finished Wake in Fright, a seriously disturbing early 70's Australian film which teeters on Lynchian horror. Nice little decent into madness that culminates with a kangaroo battle scene.

yeah, we talked about the kangaroos up above on this thread. great movie.

i watched redemption. jason statham. kinda wish he would just stop making british movies but what the hell he's a patriot. it wasn't bad. nuns are always boring movie characters though. unless the movie is the devils.

also highly recommend this movie if you like 70's prison movies:

anyone see Monsters? the reviews are all over the place. space aliens on the u.s./mexico border. that's an allegory, i think.

Saw it last year, pretty enjoyable stuff, the monsters look cool as well.

i think i'm too scared to watch The Following. the previews were scary. i can't watch stuff like that anymore. wimpy in my old age. me, old horror-lovin' scott! who would have guessed?

okay, maybe i'll watch Monsters tonight.

I like Scoot McNairy and he's great in it too.

The Following has moments but it's pretty limp, plot-wise

Monsters is worth watching. Mostly for the monsters themselves.

the following is only worth watching for sociological reasons

despite its terrible acronym, I highly recommend John Dies At The End for extradimensional hijinks

something about small children with english accents makes me always lol

hand em over to Willy Wonka i say.

despite the epic roo hunt, Wake in Fright is really all about excessive drunkenness and repressed homosexualitry (like high school drama club parties).

okay i am definitely watching john dies at the end. see, that's why this thread is good. i had no idea it was by the phantasm guy. i love him. i even loved bubba ho-tep.

you are in for a treat :D

i watched "First Winter" over the weekend

it was pretty slow and unlikable for the first two acts but i'm glad i didn't give up on it because imo it redeemed itself in the end. very beautiful and haunting film altogether.

sort of a Martha Marcy May Marlene meets The Road kind of vibe if that sounds like its up your alley

however, there's a pretty inexcusable blooper where an actor's microphone is caught on screen for an extended shot during an otherwise intense scene...

I loved Monsters. I found it very affecting.

i walked out of jdate

wait directed by who

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294619/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_4

"At first it's a party of sex; drugs; and yoga. But as supplies dwindle; they turn against one another."

A story told many times

a party of sex

I just inhaled Scandal in massive doses and nothing else has even come close in ages. I'm a believer.

don't know what to do when my yoga supply runs low

That's not how you use semicolons!!

is that the sequel to helvetica or w/e

TABU really knocked me out at the theater, not sure how it may translate to a Netflix stream.
It's the latest from Miguel Gomes, director of "Our Beloved Month of August."

Watching Troll 2 right now. It's quite something.

Thanks for the heads up on Tabu; been wanting to see that

Chuck!

i watched this last nite

LOL, classics. Actually, addition of Big Top Pee Wee is intriguing. That movie was lost to the ages.

Is it the uncut/expanded/totally OTT Caligula?

Jack Frost

"Snow Dad is better than no dad!"

finally watched house o fthe devil; like the dude's style but his movies really tend to sputter out

Did anyone other than scott watch Redemption? Need some Statham

i like safe, blitz, parker, killer elite, in the name of the king, the italian job, and the expendables 2 more than redemption. as far as streaming netflix statham goes. but i am scott.

I watched about 15 minutes. Maybe some other time. I have seen all of those other than in the name of the king. Also, Parker is ok

Canada just got Doctor Who (2005-). I am tempted. Do I need to know anything about the old series?

No

yeah, you can easily jump in with Eccleston
