i loved the balloon thing with the Amish just cuz it reminded me the most of old pee wee. something annoying/funny that goes on longer than you think it will.

I might be too chicken to watch Wetlands.

it sounds so punk rock i kinda have to watch it. but we shall see...
― scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 18:07 (eight years ago) link
upstream color is very intense, make sure you watch it with the sound up, especially bass
― erry red flag (f. hazel), Monday, 21 March 2016 18:55 (eight years ago) link
A few of those there's no way I'll ever watch, but the ones on there I've seen I've loved, save "Big Bad Wolves." Particularly "Upstream Color" (which is indeed very intense, in an honest sort of way) and "Holy Motors" (which alternates between batshit and profound). Been saving "Blue Ruin" for a rainy day, since I know I'll love it.

watched the first episode of that Flaked Will Arnett thing and ... it was pretty bad.
― tylerw, Monday, 21 March 2016 19:08 (eight years ago) link
from scotts list - i love the queen of versailles (fun movie, a bit of social commentary and sly comedy), snowpiercer (ridiculous premise but it works! i found it oddly touching which i wasnt expecting tbh) and fish tank (ye olde brit-grit, i love that shit anyway)
― i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Monday, 21 March 2016 19:21 (eight years ago) link
oh 'gomorrah' is good too. i had to turn off 'tiny furniture' cos it was too annoying and i generally like 'girls'
― i;m thinking about thos Beans (Michael B), Monday, 21 March 2016 19:22 (eight years ago) link
Everybody seems to have hated snowpiercer but I thought it was pretty good.
Fish tank is excellent but it's very hard to watch.
― just1n3, Monday, 21 March 2016 19:58 (eight years ago) link
big bad wolves outstays its welcome but it's ok. not great.

Snowpiercer is a turd.

This reminds me, has anybody seen the documentary Wolfpack? Maybe the single most wtf thing I've seen on Netflix in the past year.
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:03 (eight years ago) link
Holy Motors, maybe not with the kids...probably goes w/o saying but pairs very well with a local smokable Movie Help. I've kept it in my queue to go back in and re-watch a scene or two. I also liked the Carax documentary.
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:08 (eight years ago) link
Helper
― Hadrian VIII, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:09 (eight years ago) link
i watched wolfpack movie. someone told me it's a big movie with teens/teen girls. cuz those guys are kindly oddly vampirish.
― scott seward, Monday, 21 March 2016 22:28 (eight years ago) link
For most of it I had a hard time telling them apart...my only disappointment was not seeing/hearing more of their music, seems like it wld be interesting.

Yeah Blue Ruin's amazing
― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:07 (eight years ago) link
r. butt, go directly to A Separation, do not pass Go. One of the best films of the past quarter century.
― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 22 March 2016 01:10 (eight years ago) link
And I would advise skipping Mr. Turner, kinda stupid I thought.
I liked Tangerine

Blue ruin thirded. and Tangerine. Blue is the warmest colour is a must-see tho

We liked Blue is the Warmest but I think had to stop watching it for some reason (probably a kid woke up) and then never got back to it, which is basically what happens when we try to watch any >90 min movie. At least we saw the fingerbanging scene though, that was something.

mr turner is great, admittedly not everyones cuppa tea tho
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 22 March 2016 02:10 (eight years ago) link
A Separation gets a recommendation from me too, though it's hard to be like "yeah i'm totally in the mood for this realistic depressing drama"

i loved topsy turvy but the avatar/poster for mr turner just screams 'prestige picture' oscar bait

Basically nothing mentioned in this thread is available to watch on Netflix Australia :(

Have done that in the past, but Hola seems to include the risk of all sorts of dodgy crap being run through your IP
― like Uber, but for underpants (James Morrison), Wednesday, 23 March 2016 06:00 (eight years ago) link
maybe their should be a separate Netflix thread for the Queen's subjects.
for the record, James, i definitely recommend Mad Max, Dogs In Space, Starstruck, and Walkabout.

Get a VPN, that should do the region trick, right?

i watched the jimmy carr special. you can get that in australia. his laugh started to drive me nuts though. also had no idea who he was.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:45 (eight years ago) link
Wait, Blue Ruin is gone right now? Goddamnit, that's why I hate streaming. I just want every movie there, forever. I mean, I'm sure it'll be back, but I want it now!
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 23 March 2016 13:47 (eight years ago) link
That's why I still buy physical media and always remind myself that I can rely on Netflix for nothing.
