Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

there are some funny parts. the story about her sister at college might be the best moment.

the part about her dog made me laugh too.

oh i finally watched that movie where david yow was the bad guy. that was good.

maria is watching new house of cards and i really don't want to watch it. the first season was enough for me.

this has also been one of the wort netflix months i can remember for new stuff. so much stuff i don't want to watch. maybe they are holding everything back for summer.

Re: Keepers -- I appreciated its structure, perhaps oddly, in that it reflected the truly thorny nature of the case: lots of frayed edges and potential blind alleys, no real sense that any explanation is ever going to be forthcoming, clear examples of institutional hesitation at best and obstruction at worst, and yet there are still victims, well beyond Cesnik herself (not to mention Malecki, of course). I think the fact that there is no final clarity to be had is, sadly, a strength of a presentation that by default only exists because horrible things happened.

The ace-in-the-hole of the final episode -- the introduction of the dentist and his story and the implications beyond that -- serves as a good bit of drama and summation as much as can be hoped.

My own thing I've wondered about the whole time -- what does the title mean? Keepers of a secret, keepers of a flame, 'my brother's keeper' -- perhaps it can mean many things.

my dad took me and my best friend to richard pryor live on the sunset strip whatever year that was. i was in middle school, tops, maybe grade school. what a night.

A "keeper" is also a fish big enough to not throw back / partner too hottt to dump

Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse

^^^ forgotten shoegaze bands of 1992

'tramps' is vv good; directed by adam leon who made gimme the loot

gimme the loot is great and on nflix as well btw

new season of the 100! *i am the only one who cares i have made my peace with that*.

for the rest of you, your favorite movie zodiac is back up. you can do a frame by frame synopsis on the zodiac thread now.

I have expressed my love for the 100 before. Haven't caught up with the last season yet though

now there are two...

its one of those things that i love that i wouldn't recommend to anyone. because they would never watch it.

but you should all still watch The Overnight!

I love it because it is clearly steals bits from Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Earth 2, and about a dozen other scifi shows and DNGAF.

I'm just waiting for some dinosaurs to show up.

i totally forgot that melanie lynskey was in heavenly creatures and played rose on 2 & a half men and is from new zealand. she is such an awesome actor. definitely reason enough to watch i don't feel at home in this world anymore.

she has made soooooooo many movies that i have never seen. like 20+ movies.

she was in Up in the Air lol

yeah she's the best. i'll watch that movie

Wait new The 100???? Dje5;gtx#\£dbhnlix I am so excited! Did it just go up today? What up wanheda

the star of the 100 one of my fave aussies now obviously.

brits/aussies/kiwis just play americans better.

thanks for the heads up! Loved Gimme the Loot

aye, the same - that was a good movie was that.

One of the best things about it was its brevity and it seems the new one is only 82 minutes as well

more short movies imo

it seems very long since I watched it, but I remember at the time thinking the world would be better with more movies like it.

yup otm. the way i discovered tramps existed was by seeing gimme the loot on my shelf & being like what has that dude been up to

Cannabis (six-episode French Series from 2016) wants to be The Wire minus cops and almost gets there. Bonus points for setting the action in France, Spain, and Morocco and for having a few strong female characters to offset feuding drug dealers of varying levels of power, ambition, and vileness. Well worth the time if you're not bothered by dialogue in French and Spanish with English subtitles. Très violent, très dur.

That sounds interesting, will watch

the comments on that show are... interestign

totally forgot that melanie lynskey was in heavenly creatures and played rose on 2 & a half men and is from new zealand

Weird- I totally forgot she was in 2 and a Half Men too, and I used to watch that show. For me her filmography basically begins with "Happy Christmas" and ends with "Putzel" - she's great in both.

Wow, Get Me Roger Stone -- did not expect this to be so good

i've never been a big sarah silverman fan but the new one is a lot more thoughtful than i've ever seen her before. and it's funnier as a result imo

"Bad Company" - 1972 revisionist Western starring a young Jeff Bridges is up on Netflix atm. Definitely worth a watch

So been watching The Keepers - terrifying.

don't watch War On Everyone, it's terrible. like a long episode of Police Squad directed by Quentin Tarantino. it actually made me cringe for the director and i was only able to watch about half an hour of it. young bro dudes might like it though.

there is ANOTHER Sundance-y Melanie Lynskey movie on now. from 2016. Little Boxes. but i don't feel like watching it.

you guys still haven't watched The Overnight, right? i know, you're busy. Comey Day coming and all. you gotta get ready...

I watched it a while back. It was ok

Keepers is good though deeply depressing

I also watched The Overnight awhile back and it was thoroughly enjoyable

I was expecting a depressing murder mystery, was not expecting the full extent of it. But there are some very strong survivors and believers in people that we meet in that show

About the keepers that is

don't watch War On Everyone, it's terrible. like a long episode of Police Squad directed by Quentin Tarantino. it actually made me cringe for the director and i was only able to watch about half an hour of it. young bro dudes might like it though.

yeah it was...not good

wanna re-up Hasan Minahj's Netflix special as it was very funny and sincere, anyone see it?

I thought it was great. Excellent storytelling, just the right amount of sentiment.

Can anybody recommend some good horror films? They've added a few, but I'm not familiar with them and the new rating system doesn't work so hot for horror films, where OK ones get overrated and good-bad ones often get rated worse than bad-bad ones.

These all caught my eye:

Under The Shadows
The Invitation
The Similars
The Presence
The Disappointment Room

I'm kinda picky but I've been lucky to watch some good ones lately, most but not all on Netflix: It Follows, Hush, Green Room, Crimson Peak, The Boy (which critics hated but was so much dumb fun)

i've heard nothing but good things about under the shadow. the invitation is extremely divisive for some reason but it's prob my favorite film of the past few years, horror or otherwise

oh wow that is a hell of a recommendation! i'll move that one to the top of the queue
