I recommend that all fans of Miami Connection check out R.O.T.O.R.

we're due for a Netflix Instant Watch Midnight Movie thread imo

is there a way to search for old tv movies?

I haven't seen Miami Connection, but if it is anywhere near as baffling as R.O.T.O.R., I'm in

is there a way to search for old tv movies?

― free your spirit pig (La Lechera)

you'll thank me. and there's a nice OH SHIT twist.

iirc Cloris Leachman sings the theme song too? But yes, that movie is insane.

From that list, I am also looking forward to FORBIDDEN LOVE (1982), with Yvette Mimieux

Passion defies time and taboo in this May-December tale of twentysomething Dr. Casey Wagner (Andrew Stevens) and middle-aged sophisticate Joanna Bittan (Yvette Mimieux), a director at Wagner's hospital who wins his heart but stands to lose far more. With the physician's family up in arms, Bittan's grown daughters crying foul and the professional standings of both at risk, the star-crossed pair soon reach a fateful fork in the road.

I wonder what happens at the fork in the road?! I hope it's something ridiculous and tragic!

movie should have been called "syphyllis"

also featuring the scorpio killer aka andrew robinson as the friendly government agent actually assigned to track down people syphilis.

glad to help

hmm

dennis weaver AND jeffrey tambor!

this is on there as well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Custody_of_Strangers

i want to c+p everything on that list

Partic looking forward to the one starring Ami Dolenz as a street urchin of Times Square.

so weird to think that there was a time when a movie starring tony danza and ami dolenz would get a wide release in theaters

'80s sitcom folx usually got to do cheap theatrical comedies... Scott Baio & Willie Aames?

Looks like the 7/1 expirations are now visible, at least from their website.

Airport 75? Oh noes!

The Avengers is now up. And Who Framed Roger Rabbit!

So jealous of US netflix. Canada only gets "hansel & gretel get baked" and a zombie movie with LeVar Burton.

friends for eternity, loyalty, honesty
friends forever through thick or thin
friends forever we'll be together
we're on top cuz we play to win

this movie is amazing.

talking Miami Connection btw

ok done. so, this group of UCF international and non-trads made a pretty kickass movie. highly recommended.

in case anybody still needs convincing

tons of great stuff on netflix streaming. got more than 150 movies in my instant cue. top 20:

Over Your Cities Grass Will Grow
Microcosmos
Morvern Callar
Beauty Is Embarrassing
Certified Copy
Gerhard Richter Painting
Pina
The Red and the White
Manufactured Landscapes
The Mill & The Cross
Film Socialisme
Naked
Black Sunday
Attenberg
Days of Being Wild
The Turin Horse
The Sacrifice
Code Unknown
Metropolitan
Charade

bunch of them are probably lo-rez or otherwise fucked, but still, so much movies

Manufactured Landscapes

oh nice i never saw this

tbh, though, i'm probably gonna watch an olaf ittenbach splatter flick before any of the above

for those who dig that kind of thing, two awesome & atmospheric slow-burn ghost stories recently watched:

The Awakening (Nick Murphy, 2011)
House of Voices (aka Saint Ange - Pascal Laugier, 2004)

"The Avengers is now up"

the series?

oh the movie bah (well I want to see that too but I can't believe they don't have the Avengers series streaming)

New Girl, supposedly. Worth watching imo.

just noticed they havea bunch of hong sang-soo

tough on deschanel, tough on the causes of deschanel

New Girl supposedly gets better after the first season, which is the only one up.

i would watch new grl.

made maria watch bachelorettes cuz she is a lizzy caplan stan. and i am of course obsessed with the dunst. i like that movie. makes me want to do coke.

we watched avengers with the kids. that was pretty good! and i hate 75% of all superhero movies.

still watching fringe. kinda go back and forth with the fringe. the whole one episode of apocalyptic revelation and then one episode of scooby doo x files tomfoolery kinda makes me a little schizo. cuz if the world is gonna end who the hell cares about john savage's demented c.h.u.d. in the backyard, you know? but damned if that friggin' dawson's creek dude isn't growing on me and i never thought i'd ever say that in my lifetime.

i find fringe to be suuuuuch a slog

it's jj abrams, i'm sure it gets better towards the end.

it's worth it imo

storyline gets kinda wtf with all the timeline confusion but I love those characters a lot

sorry, Bachelorette.

plus, LC is on New Girl sometimes, so, maria will be up for that.

besides walter i find the characters are grey and boring

i feel like the big arc is kinda cool but it's spread out over 1000 boring episodes

you're grey and boring

i started fringe cuz people said how great it was on here. still watching 2nd season. there are definitely moments where i feel like i don't need to watch the whole series. but its entertaining enough.
