Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

My queue is about 70% docs, 20% tv and 10% movies. Never feel like watching movies anymore.

docs/tv is the best on streaming.

I'm remembering the 80s/90s when you could see a doc in a theater maybe three times a year (if you weren't in one of the bigger cities) and the video store documentary section was like two shelves, full of movies you'd already seen.

Yeah what changed that? Was it the relative success of someone like Morris? Or something like Hoop Dreams?

michael moore, supersize me

^^Worst leaked sex tape ever.

Thanks for recommending bad boy bubby, it was quite... something. the final monologue with the little singer about societies through history cling-wrapping had me and my gf in hysterics.

if anyone wants to watch a super trashy stars wars rip off. Roger Corman's Space Crash is good fun.

Started Deadly Blessing (19981, three young women, including a young Sharon Stone, get caught on a freaky scary farm) last night but the sound was terrible! I had to turn it up like 3/4 of the way to even hear anything :(

also ernest borgnine

Wow Ernest Bourgnine was still playing young women in '81. What an actor!

yeah he is v versatile

have been eying deadly blessing for awhile b/c of cult angle.,,

a young kurt angle is in this too? man what a cast.

michael berryman of hills have eyes also in deadly blessing... what was the name of that cult? the hittites?

hutterites?

hutaree?

Or something like Hoop Dreams?

which is expiring in a week, BTW. (as much a reminder to myself as anyone else).

also glad to read of the love for bad boy bubby ... which i used to recommend to all of my cool friends back in the day :D

I've had a copy of Bad Boy Bubby sitting in my laundry room for literally six or so years at this point. It's been by the tool box, and for the life of me I haven't been arsed to either watch it (the name and cover turn me off) or move it. But the love on this thread, plus the praise on the same DVD cover, makes me curious.

Bad Boy Bubby is great. and totally indescribably bizarre.

30 for 30s are up now but it's annoying because they're up as like 30 separate movies instead of a series, so you have to go add each one individually

Any recommendations on 30 for 30?

aw, the new ones aren't available yet.
except for the bartman one. gotta watch that.

i think the one i want to watch most again is "best that never was"

Very interested in the Alabama/Auburn one just cuz my wife is from Birmingham and her Facebook friends are so insane.

gotta watch 2 eskies

That's been up for a while, I think.

ya, i wanna see it again.

2 Escobars is key

Once Were Brothers is p awesome, if you like crying lol

The Woodmans is on Netflix now - haven't seen it yet but it's about Francesca Woodman (promising photographer who killed herself in her early '20s) and her artist parents, I've heard it's quite good

yeah i saw it when it was released, would def recommend

she had an exhibit @ the guggenheim this spring, wanted 2 go but didnt make it

Guru of Go is wildly underrated ITT

GTFO forktofulover

DORKS WHO SIGN THEIR POSTS LIKE IT'S A FREAKIN EMAIL

wtf @ neo ned

Looking for belonging, young Ned (Jeremy Renner) falls in with a group of neo-Nazi skinheads and soon lands in a mental asylum after getting entangled in a racially driven homicide. But the arrival of a beautiful black woman (Gabrielle Union) -- who believes she's possessed by Adolf Hitler -- sets the stage for an unlikely romance and plants the seeds of Ned's redemption. Cary Elwes also stars in this engaging indie gem.
