Netflix Streaming Film Recommendations: Because You Can't Always Play With Yourself

Is there any good way to sort the newly released instant watch stuff? I always just seem to get a random assortment - didn't see any new criterions :(

You can queue and view from here:

also, here's a pretty avidly updated criterion list:

Thanks forks, that instantwatcher was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for - much better than browsing the messed up netflix site as it actually makes sense - cool (weird?) it's all linked up too

i check that site kinda daily.

Indeed. The iPhone app is pretty good too.

anyone using wii for streaming? thinking about doing this in my studio mostly as a way to listen to shows while painting. wii seems perfect for this since i wont care if it looks terrible.

Does anybody remember the name of that documentary about movie lovers in NYC who spend all their time going from theater to theater all day trying to see everything - probably came out 5-7 years ago?

Thanks!

Instantwatcher is really nice, but everybody forgets that Netflix puts out RSS feeds (which are updated faster than IW):

http://www.netflix.com/RSSFeeds

Your Queue, New Releases and New Choices to Watch Instantly are good. If you're not checking your reader daily though, it might be too much to sort through since new stuff gets added every day or so.

Also I love that the dude who is tracking all the Criterion releases is also tracking all the Troma movies.

Netflix on the ipad is pretty sweet.

braggin' 010

original Gojira!

wii disc is out.

Weird, I've had mine for a couple of weeks now. Haven't tried, it and don't really plan too. I can already stream netflix through my TV and DVD player. I just got it to have.

it's okay. a little tricky to control with the wii remote.

I watched an ep of (lol) "walking with dinosaurs" and the video quality wasn't great.

Today is a dangerous day for parents: massive piles of Barney, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine and the unbearable lightness of being.
children's classics, all.

First season of Archer - before DVD, huh!

Lots of gay movies released on the 23rd. Including The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror.

As much as I like that title, not falling into the trap.

Two strong recommendations:
Jazz on a Summer's Day
The Champagne Safari

Greg the bunny film parodies vol 1

Ton of new films for the new month but not much that's very good.
Some exceptions that I'm looking forward to:
Thirst
She
The Last Mogul
The Machinist

the machinist is v good but grim

agreed

just watched F is for Fake (coooooorrnnyyyyy)and TOKYO! (which was great)

Oh my god. Archer is REALLY funny.

I was complaining a little while ago about how you couldn't tell if stuff was HD streaming on your PC/Mac before through the web interface. I just realized recently that's because it WASN'T streaming in HD at all until last week:

Selection is really limited though in comparison to what you can get on HD on your TV/video game system/BR player, though.

District 9! Which I didn't like!
A BUNCH of Haneke.
I also think i'm gonna watch cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

I didn't get around to seeing that, cool. Also if you somehow managed to never see Amelie in the last ten years, here's your chance.

Immense Nickelodeon/Comedy Central dump incoming...

Aeon Flux, Ren and Stimpy, and Invader Zim included

Now watching Nova: extreme cave diving.

anyone have streaming doc recommendations

King of Kong?

seen it -- i streamed harlan county usa, which was really dope

Watched My Brothers Keeper recently, was pretty good. Also enjoyed Tyson.

yeah shit i should catch tyson

i should see if that lil wayne doc is online

Jordan, seriously: try A Certain Kind of Death but be aware it's difficult.

and tyson is great

i'm hyped about a nick/comedy central collection! Where'd you hear that?

forks this sounds cool -- is it visually graphic?

it's on the official RSS feed - usually this stuff pops up on IW first, but suddenly it's like whoa 150 new titles, they're up right now

A certain kind of death was good.

Jordan, yeah; it's not for the faint of heart. Mostly about the mundanity and bureaucracy of death and what happens to your shit. Pretty sad, scary stuff.

OMG! Ren and Stimpy! The State! Beavis and Butthead! Strangers with Candy! UCB!
