Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

The Mend is up.

Studio 4°C put up a bunch of movies this week: the kinda Ghibli-esque Princess Arete, the two Genius Party anthologies which are hit or miss but each has at least one killer short (Masaaki Yuasa's "Happy Machine," Koji Morimoto's "Dimension Bomb") and most importantly MIND GAME, which is one of the best goddamn animated films ever.

Queen of Earth now up too.

season 2 of Helix is completely bonkers. too bad it got cancelled. how bad does a show have to do to get cancelled from the syfy network?

anyway, i know its a hard sell because you would kinda have to watch the first season to be invested in the second season, BUT if you smoke a LOT of pot or just like to watch crazy shows that are not predictable....

i mean it's pretty fucking nuts. the 2nd season. and i'm not even done with it yet.

DePalma's Snake Eyes is perfect for Netflix -- not worth seeing, except for the opening continuous tracking shot.

Fast-moving but with an ineffable coolness http://www.netflix.com/watch/80093400

haha

Narcos is such a drag. The pieces seem to be there but something's missing. It feels a little like an after school special or weekend TBS movie. The blonde lead reminds me of Macaulay culkin and is generally lifeless. I can't figure out why nothing seems to be happening when things are happening.

i don't know if i'm up for it tonight, but this trailer is nuts. also, check out the voice-over. someone had fun writing that.

Maron season 3 is up today

Horse Money for you Costa fans.

That VO sounds like the trailer guy from the 70s.

Best Of Enemies (which I finished last night) was fab. Buckley was an awful and intolerable mothefcuekr.

Slow Learners made me laugh out loud! for realz. there are some choice moments in that movie.

you guys should watch Slow Learners AND Guidance. for the funny. make it a double feature.

Queen of Earth is amazing.

yeah, i'm gonna watch it.

i made rufus and maria watch Slow Learners after they got back from canada tonight and they cracked up even more than i did when i watched it the first time. it still had me cracking up a second time though.

Tangerine was great, and very funny. I was put off a bit at first by the transgender angle (expecting some sort of sanctimonious liberal "issue" movie) and the fact that it was shot on iPhones (thinking it would be all shaky handheld shots), but am glad to report I was totally off base on both counts.

watch Fresh Meat, o american ilxors - it is a wonderful series.

Bone Tomahawk is up on Amazon Prime.

pissed off that The Wild Bunch was yanked on Jan. 1 hours after I started rewatching.

oooh i've been meaning to see bone tomahawk

"The Ridiculous Six, by way of example, in the first 30 days on Netflix it's been the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix," said Ted Sarandos. "It's also enjoyed a spot at #1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it's still #1."

gross

i hope to god that's because universal or whoever threw zillion$ at netflix for promo

you gotta blame the people for that one

Correction: 'Ridiculous Six' isn't Netflix's 'most-watched movie ever,' Sarandos just meant the most views in first 30 days. Big difference.

oh hm yea that was wild misleading

Loved Bone Tomahawk.

obvs i suppose but i imagine many people queued up 'Ridiculous Six' halfway thinking they were gonna see a tarantino movie

bone tomahawk was p good --- not as much 'horror' as i expected but what there was was just like o_O

yeah, after a certain point bone tomahawk just abandons all restraint and goes all-out on the gore. i thought it was alright overall but my love for kurt russell was outweighed in this case for my dislike for patrick wilson, a human-shaped black hole from which no screen presence or charisma can escape

also i was regularly distracted from the movie by wondering whether kurt's hateful eight whiskers were grown before the ones he sports in bone tomahawk or vice-versa

Ha, me too. Loved the stilted formal to the point of surreal dialogue. "Mr Smith, would you please retrieve the flask jammed inside the cage of my ribs?"

tbh when Bone Tomahawk went to full gore I about puked

It's pretty eye-poppingly gross!

Guys, "Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films" is a blast.

this was so much fun

I "watched" Bone Tomahawk, i.e. I fast forwarded through the gross stuff. I don't understand people.

yeah i was pretty blindsided by it

well u guys are making me feel great about seeing this at MoMA next week; i wonder how their 87-year-old patrons will react.

I fast forwarded through the gross stuff.

not permitted btw

'gross stuff' was one scene tbf, but good luck!

heartily rec 'adult world,' now up

better Cusack than the B.Wilson movie anyhoo

What Happened Miss Simone? was a revelation for me. Wonderful film.

Was sort of disappointed with Queen of Earth.

Best of Enemies and the Cannon doc were both entertaining.

did you guys watch Slow Learners or Guidance yet? who am i supposed to talk to about these things?

I watched Slow Learners. Chuckled a few times.

you had to have laughed at the very beginning when he asks the bad date what his problem was? in the restaurant? that kinda killed me.

seemed like a very improv-y movie. in a good way.
