Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

woulda paid to hear that. you should do a commentary track on the Criterion!

Barbara is splendid.

i was at one of the opening screenings; baumbach was doing a talk-back after and my date was frantically shushing me as i left the theater yelling "we're all just so fucking QUIRKY aren't we"

this is not behavior i'm proud of exactly but it pretty accurately reflects my lack of appreciation for that movie. a week later i ended up sitting next to baumbach and gertwig at a show that involved baumbach getting motorboated by the lead singer. i refrained from yelling "we're all just so fucking QUIRKY aren't we" that time but it was maybe applicable then too.

"motorboated" is a new verb to me.

oh hey the Criterion is out.

xp haha *daps*

You have got to be kidding me. Motorboated? What was the band?

No lawyer would ever sign off on it, but I honestly wish all DVDs had separate commentary tracks from the film's proponents and detractors.

I think The Matrix did that?

on this song as i recall

wow -- that's something else. i'm pretty sure frances ha would churn my stomach, so i'll continue to not see it.

i have a deep and abiding love for bridget everett and have been trying to take her out for years now

Dear God. I started watching License to Drive. Hahaha. WHY.

Stopped half way.

yeaaah that doesn't seem like one to nostalgically revisit

damn Skyfall is boring

shipping news, sweet flick.

Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on "resume".

WHAT HAVE I DONE.

My recommendation carousel now looks thus: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, She-Devil, Heathers, Sgt Bilko, Trading Places, Coming to America, Beverly Hills Cop II, Summer School, and other gems.

why are some films showing up on instantwatcher but not there when I search the catalogue (only god forgives, eg)

if you like lifetime movies and/or subdued 80's thrillers you should watch Black Widow

I think The Matrix did that?

in david thomson's have you seen...? he talks about being asked to provide a commentary for the matrix after slamming it in a review. I haven't heard it, could be funny I guess

black widow with debra winger? i remember that movie.

Something glitchy with netflix. It happened to me the other day with A Hijacking. I checked afterward to see if Only God Forgives was there and it was.

yep, with debra winger

idk if difficult listening hour looks at this thread or not but about half the film takes place in Hilo

Only God Forgives missing subtitle for most (but oddly not all) the Thai dialogue scenes. Easy to follow from synopsis but still rather odd.

I watched Top Cat: The Movie with my son yesterday. Apparently Top Cat is very popular in Mexico and the movie is a Mexican production, so Netflix defaults the language to Spanish. I couldn't figure out how to switch to the English dub on my blu-ray Netflix app, but managed to get it going on my computer. The movie itself had a strong 1984/Big Brother theme to it which seemed very dark for loveable ol' Top Cat.

uh, best described as Black Widow w/ Theresa Russell, kidz

yes she is in it as well

Russian Ark is up, which I've not seen since the theatres and I've been looking forward to revisiting.

Also, some more MST3K including I Accuse My Parents and another Gamera

"Are you happy, in your work?"

<3 <3 <3

Gimme the Loot is super charming and for such a meandering story, it's really well paced

thumbs up for What Maizie Knew and Frances Ha

So A Hijacking is or is not available? Or is it available in Canada?

What Maizie Knew is quite good, but source material is amazing too and wholely recommended.

In The House is up, and so begins my annual hemming and hawing over whether I give Ozon another chance.

Watched that last night and enjoyed it though it's pretty fluffy.

Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus and 2012 made me laugh a lot.

King of New York is on netflix.

I recently watched maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of Black Snake Moan, which was alright, but I got tired.

I liked crystal fairy too

If you liked Crystal Fairy, consider checking out Magic Magic - they filmed it while waiting to film Crystal Fairy, has the same director and some of the same actors (including Michael Cera), also takes place in Chile, but instead of being a quirky dramedy, it's a terrifying psychological horror movie. I really enjoyed both movies.

Interesting. I thought the brothers were great, considering they're amateurs. I saw the director was listed as a castmember as well but couldn't remember where he was in the movie?

"Coffy!"

"Targets!"

"Lair of the White Worm!"

love love love lair of the white worm

targets is kinda garbage imo

also theres the wenders movie 'hammett'

but mostly i dont have time for any of those cuz im addicted to the la complex

Targets is SOOO good! You crazy.

Lair of the White Worm is a lot of fun.

i watched Starlet. it is terrible.

next time I can't sleep I'm going to watch CONVOY.

Post Tenebras Lux is up if you wanna do that

lair of the white worm! yes!

i should check out the crystal fairy

fuck ozon
