Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

^Yeah Frank is great! I was fearing two hours of the ultimate indie-quirk house band. Don't be scared off! Lots of left turns wld watch again.

Second We Are The Best!—I took my 11- and 8-year old daughters to see it at the local art house, replete with subtitled fucks/cunts/assholes which was kinda tough BUT it was "uplifting" in the least offensive way.

Watched the movie wondering how long it'll be till my 8-month-old daughter has enough hair to cut it like Karla's, tbh.

Bird People, which is absolutely worth seeing
Wetlands, which I haven't seen yet and am curious about

We Are the Best is awesome

Watched We Are the Best! last night and loved every minute. Those gals are so precious!

HATE THE SPORT! HATE THE SPORT!

HATE THE SPORT! HATE THE SPORT! HATE HATE HATE HATE THE SPORT!

Loved both these movies (Frank and We Are The Best!)

HATE THE SPORT! chanted by my kids for several months. They should put a record out

'the immigrant' is up... is that old news?

It's been up for a long time, I think.

k

The Amazon pilot for The Man In The High Castle is A++

I enjoyed it. Let's hope they decide to make more. It seems to be the most popular of all the series pilots they are trying out.

Transparent is fantastic too.

The Lunchbox is very good.

Apparently, they are putting up The Interview on Saturday.

spoiler: it's not good

(haven't seen it but would bet a large sum of money)

yeah, I'm sure it sucks. thought it was noteworthy since it must be the shortest amount of time for a major release to from theaters to netflix.

what happened with that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2 kerfluffle?

Trailer for the Ellie Kemper show is up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNKEKlXY3Z4

Erm. Who edits a trailer for a TV show on a hip "network" to look like some crappy Hollywood feel good barf?

thought it was weird that The Interview is up already! but then i stopped watching it about a half hour in. wasn't funny to me. started watching the bag man with cusack and de niro but i couldn't do it. like a bad 90's movie. so i watched tim roth liar t.v. show instead.

scott, that sounds almost exactly like what I would do in that situation, including falling back on Lie to Me even though I've seen every episode twice already. (Except I probably wouldn't watch The Interview in the first place? But everything else is perfect.)

The Painting (Le tableau) (2011)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5NNf1lrj2c

If you're in the mood for a visually engaging French language animation that touches upon class issues/racism and theology in a narrative about painted characters seeking their painter, literate kid friendly (though with artistic toplessness), its rather fine.

artistic toplessness

sold

"In this harrowing drama, which has no dialogue..." NOPE.

morbs fave "fifi howls from happiness" is up

The Paul Williams documentary from a few years ago was just added.

TV Junkie, rick kirkham's video diaries of his drug addiction and fucked up life, is pretty good. he's comes off pretty badly - he def sees himself as the star of his own movie, and he's very manipulative and abusive - but v compelling to watch.

stray dogs looks cool. did you guys see that one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xsQfTkvBwg

yeah, i noticed today (and just mentioned in the detritus thread) that it's now netflixable. kind of pisses me off, though, because i've been holding off on watching a crappy dvd rip for a while now, and the netflix stream - even forced to max resolution - is no better. cross >:[

not sure whether to just watch what's available or wait for better quality.

you could have a good gallery show of the stills from that movie.

it's a regularly cited end of year best of

yep this is really good, i shd rewatch some time

Last night I thought I had come out the other side of Netflix, unable to find a single thing I wanted to see. UNTIL, while scrolling through nature documentaries, I found LEAVE IT TO BEAVERS--and it's just the most charming thing. Everyone in it made me very happy.

So clearly it was important to break my heart as quickly as possible, and the best tool for that was the doc ALIVE INSIDE about playing music for dementia patients.

I can't understand people who claim to run out of things to see on Netflix.

Like, Netflix is great, UNLESS you hate movies, in which case, you're out of luck.

Well exactly. I'm going to need an endless supply of episodes of PEAKY BLINDERS and CROSSING LINES, and y'all can let me know when SCANDAL gets onto nf. Otherwise, nah.

Netflix doesn't have enough Vines.

endless TV, just what the hell

i think the problem is more that netflix conditions most ppl to casual lazy comfort-viewing, like aw man look they have 5 haneke films ive been meaning to screen, maybe some day **checks hulu for new parks & rec episode**

Really the other problem is that I don't have a DVD player or drive, so I only get the instant options. Which is especially disappointing after checking for a bunch of stuff I did want to see, and them not having it on Instant.

Yeah, but what else do you have to recommend.

I'm looking for a home film festival, not a date night.

1 channel and nothing on

started watching death comes to pemberley -- pd james' jane austen fanfic starring the dude from the americans! looks nice, will probably be sorta silly.
