Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

skot otm rollin is the best

finders keepers just put out a comp of music from jean rollin movies that's fantastic

Watched Altman's 3 Women the other night and it was fantastic. Duvall at her ... well, alien best. Just bizarre. Apparently he let her roll with the adlib and it shows but it's really integral to the tone I think. So good. And she's like a damn insect in that swimsuit.

Love the bar outside a town where they just shoot guns out back and ride dirt bikes.

Bad Company is a good one for you dudes who haven't seen it. i haven't seen it since vhs days.

thx for the bad company tip

other gritty 70s stuff I added to my queue but will never watch

joe
dirty mary, crazy larry
tracks (dennis hopper as a shellshocked vietnam vet on a surreal cross country train ride how can this not be good)
deadhead miles
cutter's way
bad timing
inserts
blue sunshine
busting (elliot gould and robert blake!)

Netflix: Deep in the Rollin

dirty mary, crazy larry - <3

i loved Tracks back in the day. Crazy movie. Henry Jaglom!

Definitely watch Deadhead Miles. It's great. And Blue Sunshine is essential viewing. R.I.P. Zalman King.

think i recommended Busting upthread. Basically a proto-80s cop buddy movie. Plot-wise pretty dumb, but its got Gould!
The Killing is pretty good so far, but I'm worried that I'm going to be angry at it by the end of the season. Am I going to be angry?

Everyone else was angry so you will probably be angry, yes.

ugh too much stuff to watch. I need to live in a wifi enabled cabin for 3 months to get through my queue.

speaking of baretta, electra glide in blue was streaming for a while but it's gone now :(

yeah don't watch the killing.

too late! oh well.

Every time I check out this service these days the selection is more and more wretched, really just the dregs and the worst of the worst that they try to pawn off on you. Real bargain basement, gas station DVD, Target during January sales misery.

It does have Peep Show still though, maybe I should watch that again.

Yeah, I find that if you view it as an on-demand tv service that happens to have movies, it seems much more realistically like a product that its parent company is banking on the success of.

tyler, i did think the premiere of season 2 was pretty strong though. It's streaming free on AMC's site, at least today it was...

how can a streaming service with ace in the hole, cosmos, twilight zone, twin peaks and T2 be bad

Ken Russell's The Music Lovers (not currently available on DVD) is on Instant Watch

Netflix Instant is like if you wanted to do some serious grocery shopping but you stumbled into this weird hole in the wall that has a few of the things that you actually wanted to buy but mostly just, like, Chocodiles and Crystal Pepsi and other stuff where you're like, oh, I haven't seen that in forever...I guess it'll do.

it's more like a bizarre aisle at the grocery store, really.

or like walking into a macy's at the mall where they're out of jeans but there's a lot of weird and vintage consignment shit in the back

If it all fit me, that would be a dream come true. New life for old things!

tetsuo: the bullet man now streaming

now shooting

Yeah Busting is almost a great movie. A so close yet so far kinda thing. Robert Blake and Elliot Gould hanging out in the bathroom is pretty great stuff.

For the Moodymann/KDJ fans there's a sample or two buried in this one.

El Bulli doc on Netflix now. Also, Demolition Man. And, um, for Community fans, Ken Burns' Civil War ends after the weekend, so get watching!

taxi zum klo now available

"he died with a falafel in his hand" with noah taylor from flirting

"the double hour" is an italian thing from a few yrs ago, is good. not avail on dvd in R1 i dont think

i've never been able to get into taxi zum klo

a few months back i watched "salsa: latin pop music in the cities", a doc on salsa in nyc from 1979 - intimate performances and interviews with fania peeps, sociopolitical angles, the palmieris teaching some grade school kids, it's pretty great

ooh that sounds rad!

This just in: second season of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic just added!

lol, we were looking at the first season of that, wondering if it'd be ok for our kid to watch. crazy! what happened to the little ponies' faces?

Botched plastic surgery.

Tiny Furniture

for real tho, i just watched the black sabbath paranoid installment of classic albums. could barely understand a word ozzy said!

I watched the "Face Value" one and it was pretty good!

Dark!

I liked in the Sabbath one where they play Ozzy's nonsensical but classic working vocal from 'Paranoid'

i believe that face values is dark! i hope they interviewed michael mann for it.

I watched the Sabbath thing too! It was surprisingly interesting. I loved the old footage and Geezer talking about how he was into hippie shit.

I saw that yesterday! Geezer comes across as the most genuine human ever. And when they solo out his bass track... wow.

so far the steely dan aja is my favorite from that series (but i would say that).

Ha, my friend Stripey is all about this series and loves that episode as well.

re: the Sabbath one - I had no idea about the skinhead connection w/Fairies Wear Boots.

The Tom Petty one is p good too

I totally misread the sabbath discussion and ended up finding this
