Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

So I'm halfway through the Bartman one and while personally I respect Bartman for not having anything to do with well anything about the "incident" I do kinda feel like it's slightly weakening the doc that he's going to be interviewed.

Two Escobars is my favorite followed by the Iverson one followed by the June 17th, 1994.

he's NOT going...

I kind of like that about it, really it's one of the things that makes his story so compelling—that he hasn't played along as expected and recouped on his public shaming w/ a book deal or whatever.

Need to watch the Escobars one. Just watched Cocaine Cowboys though and am all coked/murdered up for the time being

reccomend!

"I kind of like that about it, really it's one of the things that makes his story so compelling"

I'd just rather hear what Bartman really has to say than listen to a bunch of other people project onto him ultimately (this is not all of the movie obviously--which I still quite liked.)

this is kind of fucked up but i'm halfway through the bartman doc and i'm finding it more depressing than the two escobars. i guess because it's more relatable? like it's something that could literally happen to anyone

that bartman doc was crushing

Bartman seems so well-adjusted about the whole thing though?

I don't know about that? Anyways what was depressing was how people reacted in the moment and in the short term after.

I can't believe he still lives in Chicago.

I had almost the exact same reaction. I have no investment in the Cubs or even baseball for that matter. It's just interesting (depressing) people watching.

I need to watch that one.

can't believe they mad a whole doc on the bartman, i didn't even realize that it was considered a sport

lolll

"I don't know about that?"

Well really no one does cuz Steve Bartman isn't interested in telling us about Steve Bartman which strikes me as actually fairly well-adjusted ya know.

Sunset Boulevard!!!

holy shit, sound the alarms: POOTIE TANG

wow, margin call is great.

Just watched Mike Judge's "Extract." Not very good, but sort of endearingly mediocre, as if he shot it out of pocket over the course of a week. Great sort of underutilized cast. Bateman, Affleck, Wiig, Mila Kunis ...

everybody watch REPRISE right now.

That's queued up next after I was blown away by OSLO, 31ST AUGUST.

The Grey is up.

I liked Reprise a lot. I saw it on DVD a couple of years ago.

Oooh adding Oslo now to my queue. I can't keep up with anything anymore.

oslo is fantastic. prob one of my faves of the last few years.

Scorsese's Dylan docu expires on the 26th. Spent my whole afternoon with it. A little padded but obv worth it.

the same could be said about the ilm thread on it

ha

srsly everyone watch oslo august 31 too. kind of amazing.

Tape Store included Oslo in the (ongoing) foreign film series he curates at the local theater. It really affected me. This week's film is Thursday Till Sunday and the director and star are being flown in for the screenings.

just watched 'oslo' myself - of the two 2011 movies helmed by scandinavians that use "under your spell" by desire as background music, this was definitely the better one

Didn't notice Melancholia is up! I thought I was done with von Trier forever but everything I've read about this one makes it sound v much my thing.

I am not usually a fan of von Trier but I really liked this.

What's with this wave of Trier film recommendations, von or otherwise?

Yeah guys seriously

i'm usually a fan of von trier but i keep turning melancholia off

I almost walked about of Melancholia but ultimately I think I mildly recommend it. I liked the second half.

i think its great

The whole thing is just Claire's dream

I quit after about an hour. It was just so incredibly boring. I figured it had to get more interesting at some point, but I couldn't make it.

"walked out of," not "walked about of"

wtf is wrong w me

i walked about during melancholia, till the ushers told me i had to sit down

haha

im sure ill have more to say about it on the horror thread, but genre dudes should def check out "dream home", its a solid body count insano romp.

bullhead

london boulevard, wow

Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared were just added.

chiming in on the love for oslo, august 31st. when it started I was kinda sceptical about needing another gritty eastern european flick abt heroin addiction but it's more to do w/ general aimlessness and anhedonia, beautifully observed, smart performances and script, earns its haunting moments in quiet ways. had no idea it was a remake of le feu follet until a friend posted abt it on fb.

They just added thirty or forty Heathcliff titles. Quite a coup.
