Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

god the americans is great.

i'm too scared to watch django and wolf of wall street. leo's face bugs me so much these days...he's such a dope. plus just the whole american badass/excess thing...

I'm not watching either of those movies either, although if I were forced to choose I'd prob go with WoWS.

Leo's smarminess plays well into the Django character, IMO

also plays well into the wolf of wall street character tbh. he should just embrace being a shitbag from now on

wolf of wall street is pretty solid, django is a bit of a letdown

wolf of wall street is redundantly putrid after the first 40 minutes

can't do too many cocaine booby rock montage scenes these days. spring breakers might have lasted me a lifetime.

and as far as the idea of tarantino and slave trading goes....i'll stick with the nazis.

I dare you to watch both.

Unless you are chicken.

i've watched both, would recommend watching neithre

get two tvs, watch them both simultaneously

Pee Wee's Playhouse... every episode and the Christmas Special.
Big news IMO!

Hated Django, loved Wolf. Leo is fine in both. Latter has better set pieces, former probably the worst Tarantino.

the worst Tarantino is actually Quentin

I laughed out loud at that, then watched the first hour of Nymphomaniac + now I am back on the Official ILX Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations thread

btw I watched Django Unchained for the first time recently & found it fun (if occasionally burdened by cringeworthy contemporary resonances)

speaking of Tarantino in the same post-cluster as Nymphomaniac: Kill Bill is another two-parter I never saw prior to its appearance on Netflix Instant Watch (saw the 1st in theaters, but missed the 2nd and couldn't decide how best to arrange an at-home viewing)

wow, Nympho pt 1 was... really something

i straight out hate von trier; is it good for lolz?

I don't know if I can answer that question

but yes, it is funnier than e.g. Antichrist or Dancer in the Dark

if you're into 'dry humor'

So! My Netflix was hacked last week. I called customer support when I could no longer access my account, and the friendly phone man confirmed I've been jacked. Some clown in Calgary has been watching w/ my user ID, and the Netflix fraud folks have been able to track him to a single fixed IP address (residential). They reset my password/account, and are going after him, guns a-blazin'. Apparently he's been watching the R-rated soft porn titles. They gave me a free month (small yay) of service, but I've gotta start a new account and my ID and ratings (which I've held since early-adopter 2000 days) are all wiped out. Last night I sat and rated a dozen movies, but my old account had about 5000 movies rated. My queue/history are zeroed, and now I have no idea what I have/haven't watched. So, important question, what movies should I watch/rate to recalibrate the suggestions? Key titles already logged include:

Repo Man
Tillsammans
Fanny and Alexander
Good Morning / I Was Born But...
Browning Version
Kiss Me Deadly
Yi Yi
Morgan: A Suitable Case
Uncle Buck
The Live by Night
Glass Key

good selection

you take netflix much more seriously than I do

I'd like all of my recommendations to be based on a history of watching soft core porn

but seriously is that the lengths Canadians have to go to get erotic material?

Netflix was way more in-your-face about the user data aggregation back in the day - I'm seeing 1015 ratings on my account

there's soft core porn on netflix? what a world

Well most hbo isn't actually available

netflix T+A user reviews

It's all v. '90s erotic thriller, apparently.

Phew, finally the wait ends!

Tracy Flick for President!

i enjoyed Brick Mansions. a fitting tribute to the legacy of Paul Walker.

WHITE COLLAR 5, JESUS FINALLY.

Last Saturday, nursed hangover with back-to-back anxiety-upping selections: Blue Ruin and All is Lost. Both good. Well, AiL is a bit old guy got mad experience and knowledge porn, but it's effective. At least until the very last scene, which is a bit lol.

Blue Ruin a crazy little one. No-one-wins revenge tale. And it has a crazy sequence featuring Buzz McCallister, Kevin's big brother!

Happy Valley is fantastic.

I think this might only be on Prime but Night Moves was really good.

Excited to see Frank and Child of God (despite Franco).

wanna watch happy valley. gonna watch 2nd season of the wrong mans on hulu first...

The Fall: Season 2

Hang on, what?! I totally missed that S2 had already aired.

white collar: god help me i want that rooftop apartment so bad

OK, so the MPAA has that new-ish site that lets you search for streamable movies and TV. I think it's wheretowatch.com. It seems pretty solid, except every time I search for something I know is streaming on Netflix, Netflix does not come up as an option. Any ideas/conspiracies? I think a centralized site that allows me to search what's available across Amazon/Netflix/Hulu et al. is useful, since it's so hard to figure out otherwise with everything that's constantly being added and deleted to and from each service (for the longest time The French Connection II was on Netflix, but not the first movie), but if it's erratic or not comprehensive it's no sub for painstakingly stalking each individual service for what I want.

Broadchurch was a waste of time. Terrible ending sabotages anything worthwhile that came before.

franc connection is back on netflix btw JiC

I just tried that service. Hopefully typed in Phantasm III, a movie I can't find anywhere. And a result popped up! Flixster! So I navigated to the flixster site only to get a message that Phantasm III is not available at this time.
