Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

dozens of xposts: Bill Cunningham New York drags a bit when it actually deals with fashion - his building and his life are fascinating, the changes to NY, dealing with modernity at the Times, etc.. Interviewing fashion editors and fashionistas, not a shit was given.

Maybe it's mentioned somewhere above, but Devils On The Doorstep is on there and it is just amazing.

Just added: How to Survive a Plague.

Soon to come:

...beginning on March 30 the streaming service lands all past seasons of Cartoon Network‘s Adventure Time, Ben 10, Regular Show, and Johnny Bravo, as well as Warner Bros Animation’s Green Lantern. It also will have Adult Swim shows Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sony Pictures Television’s The Boondocks and Warner Bros Television’s Studio 2.0′s Childrens Hospital.

Tried watching "Navajo Joe," with Burt Reynolds as Joe. Sucked.

Aw that's too bad. It's in my queue. AMAZING ott Morricone score, at least.

Score (under a pseudonym!) was the best part by far.

i liked Navajo Joe -- it isn't objectively good, but it's fun. and the Morricone soundtrack IS amazing (and carries the film).

I dont know if it's still up on netflix, but Goats (starring David Duchovney) was one of the most interminable movies I've ever sat through. Not entirely sure why we didn't turn it off. Just inertia, I guess.

But so, it was a four-star rated comedy and we took a chance on it based on the star-rating. Can anyone recommend any recent comedy movies on netflix that are actually hilarious?

I haven't seen it, but I didn't know Goats was supposed to be a comedy. It was based on a literary novel.

it was in the comedy section and it had its moments and characters that were played for laughs, I guess. But broadly I'd consider it a coming of age drama. I've come across a few other previously known films on netflix that were miscategorized, so I'm not too surprised.

"Four Lions?" Some people like "Klown." I'm a big fan of "The Trip." Along similar not quite comedy lines, there's the "Do-Deca Pentathlon."

klown is hella funny with an amazingly raunchy final punchline

Oof. Just finished Snowtown Murders. I'm traumatized. What a set of performances.

Haven't seen it yet but Oscar-nominated doc 5 Broken Cameras is up.

o good

The younger brother's acting in Snowtown was really good

the main psycho's acting was astonishing. Never for a second did I find him implausible.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER his expression when he is watching the guy's face while they asphyxiate and release, asphyxiate and release, asphyxiate and release is gonna haunt me to the end of my days SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

started a thread

have you seen SNOWTOWN aka the snowtown murders aka the grim indie bleakathon that's so worth it

Melrose Place (TV Series 1992-1999)

^^honestly one of the best decisions i've made in the past couple of years

Having now sen it, I think I can probably also recommend "Klown." It's like a cross between "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Bad Santa" and ... "Happiness?" And a bunch of other crass/un-PC/boundary pushing stuff. But mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Watched "Young Adult" w/Charlize Theron last weekend. Man, is that an arsenic cookie.

i really liked young adult, unexpectedly.

Trying to watch Young Adult finally motivated me to figure out how to change the setting on my TV that makes everything look like it's been shot on video. For that I am thankful

I liked Young Adult to a point, but it sorta left me wondering why I watched. Okay, her life is kinda shitty, it doesn't get better. I didn't want a resolution necessarily but as it stands it's just a journal entry about a shitty weekend. AND.

I dunno. I liked Charlize a lot though, and I don't usually like her.

Really? I think she's great in everything.

i don't get how someone could not like charlize

outside of some of the shit at the film's climax, which was really the plot's main exposition, I think it was a good story about life and self-image

also hilarious in that her single lifestyle is incredibly relatable in different ways for a part of the population and it looks so stark on screen

Just watched "I Think We're Alone Now" about two disturbed dudes obsessed with Tiffany. Pretty interesting, if a bit depressing.

this is amazing

tell me more about this -- how are they disturbed?

On the spectrum.

It was really good. If I recall, it never really made fun of them either.

tell me more about this -- how are they disturbed?

it's been a while since I've seen it, but iirc they're both restraining order disturbed

So House of Cards looks pretty good.

alone now is good but depressing

I can probably also recommend "Klown." ...mostly basically a long NC-17 episode of a Danish "Curb Your Enthusiasm." "Two and a Half Men."

fixed

Never seen "Two and a Half Men."

skip it, try klown instead

I hear that "Two and a Half Men" is like the American "Klown."

I hear the AVN Awards are like the Danish CBS sitcoms.

You may have to wait for this Lars Von Trier crossover classic:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphomaniac_(film)

Though of course Von Trier's Puzzy Power has already taken us down that route.

any 2 minutes of "Two and a Half Men" will show ya what it's like, same with 3 endless hours of Quen--

Have you watched even one minute of "Two and a Half Men"

I HAVE, I HAVE A SISTER WITH A FAMILY. "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND" TOO.

MONSTERS

also nearly every shitty film mentioned on this thread is something I've reviewed.

I couldn't get into Klown, but it definitely didn't remind me of 2 1/2 men in the slightest. It felt more like a boring Bad Santa.

what about 'mortifying sex hijinks in the company of a pubescent boy'?

like Bad Santa?

i didn't like klown much either tbh

Oh man, I watched the Chariots of the Gods movie from 1970 on this last night, and it was fantastic. Probably not to everybody's taste, but it's really crazy and trippy and so much cooler than that "Ancient Aliens" show. The soundtrack was awesome and bonkers too, weird jazz and early synths.
