Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

The Institute documentary (in the mind fuck genre)

http://instantwatcher.com/titles/new?view=synopsis&popups=1&infinite=0 my favorite. Best of both worlds.

just got netflix, mostly at our daughter's request, but i've kind of fallen for it, too. i wish the homepage were better, but that's quibbling.

i have never seen this show but i am ready to offer a PhD dissertation on it.

you can stream both seasons on netflix

it totally screwed-up my sleep schedule, but i've now watched every episode (seasons one -- two).

I'm gonna do that with House of Cards at some point.

Ishtar is up!

FINALLY

"The Bride" - extremely odd, unhurried New Romantic take on the bride of Frankenstein with Sting as the doctor, fun bit parts from alexei sayle and a young Timothy Spall, one of the little people from time bandits in a focal role. A damned thing.

Harry Dean Stanton: Partly Fiction

only halfway thru but this ruuuuuuuules. i love harry dean.

Oh shit thank you for reminding me that that is up!

Stories We Tell, the Sarah Polley family doc, is also up, been meaning to watch that.

Let The Fire Burn is fantastic, FANTASTIC

Exit through the gift shop is so awesome

watching this now (thanks for this recommendation). it is awesome. so much subversive energy in this film.

Gothic is on there now

And Salome's Last Dance!

Right now I'm trying to figure out wtf is up with the streaming of Mission Impossible films. Amazon Prime has the even-numbered ones only, Netflix adds #3, but nobody has the De Palma.

Just saw that BOSS (feat. a motherfucker with some dark secrets) is streaming.

American Oldboy is streaming, and having just watched it, let me take this opportunity to remind you that the original Oldboy is also streaming, and is actually a good movie, unlike uh

i want to see george bush eat a live squid

exit through the gift shop was great. i like how it changed from a film about a cool underground scene into a film about a complicated, troubled, maybe sad central-figure. banksy's comment at the end summed it all up well: "maybe thierry was a genius all along. maybe he got lucky. maybe it means art is a bit of a joke." or maybe the real street-artists are jealous. or maybe thierry's life-story is the art, like a giant moving installation satirizing culture and fame. also, bonus points for the use of richard hawley's tonight the streets are ours.

p sure ive said this elsewhere but my favorite thing about exit through the gift shop is that i know bansky stans and banksy haters who both love it and find that it re-affirms their view

xp- Sorry, that came out wrong; I wasn't bemoaning a lack of responses after 5 minutes, which would be selfish and moronic, I was just disgusted with my writing, as usual, and making a poor decision to vent that in public, also as usual. I'm starting to think I should invest in a shock collar that goes off every time I type the word "genuinely."

haha oh shit wrong thread

HA HA OLD FELLOW YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN

Watch "Stranger by the Lake," it's now on Netflix!!

its so good

this Banksy shrugger still hates that fucking "movie"

guess you don't know shit then

i do when it's Banksy's

if Banksy had a dog it would be named Barksy

hi jake

Not a bansky fan but that's a really good film.

i liked the other street artists in the film better than bansky (esp the one who did the andre-the-giant "obey" images). they all seemed to dislike (or be newly dismissive of) thierry at the end.

thierry's explanation for why he loved filming was really at odds with his spending so much time -- away from his family and outside of his career -- filming street artists.

sorry, "banksy."

wasn't there talk when the movie came out that the whole Mr. Brainfreeze thing was a Banksy prank?

Brainwash, rather

thats part of what makes it so good imo, that that question could be legit asked

New Hendrix documentary is p fun

what's that called?

Jimi Hendrix: Hear My Train A Comin'

is that the one that was on pbs? if so, it's brilliant. really moving, great footage. even if you don't love hendrix the musician, you'll end up loving hendrix the man.

Are All Men Pedophiles?

hey i have a better question, Why The Fuck Is This Skeezy Shit On Here?

OMG Stories We Tell is so great. Just destroyed me. And the moment where she reveals that a lot of the Super 8 home movie footage she's used was staged, as part of discussing the subjectivity of "truth", was a genius moment. Been a big fan of Sarah Polley's acting for a long time, thought her own movie Take This Waltz was DREADFUL, but this is a wonderful, wonderful documentary. Don't miss it.

Watched Europa Report last night - it is awesome and awesomely low-budge! Unfortunately it's let down by a really unscary monster. But I'm such a sucker for tension in space

Plus this person is wery wery beautiful - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2764521/?ref_=tt_cl_t4

The Master + The Immigrant just added.

also this dude was awesome:
