deadreckoning Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 my netflix queue (disc only) is pretty much empty and I need to validate my continual payments. Anyone have any good suggestions? I just added Martha Marcy May Marlene. I recently watched Rare Exports and Hesher, both were good. FYI: No need to suggest Red Dawn i already own a copy.

thebiglebowski Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Instant, right? Trailer Park Boys, or anything from AMC (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead). If you are only interested in movies, I suggest getting the IMDB top 250 and watching what you can off there. Also, wikipedia the best picture award winners/nominees and see what you can find.

madtired Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 one of the best but most unheard of movies I've seen in the past 5 or 6 years was Oldboy. Its foreign so there are subtitles but you don't even notice them after 5 minutes. They have been trying to remake this in the US for the past 3 years but it has hit snags a few times. See it now if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been watching a lot of martial arts flicks, so I'm not sure if you're into that or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtired Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Moon was also a real good one, relatively unknown; Btw do you use the ratings? Apparently I've rated over 1100 movies, so generally anything recommended by Netflix which shows my expected rating to be under 3 stars is not something I am going to rent, anything over 3.5 I usually check out. It tends to be pretty darn accurate too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadreckoning Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 seen american movie and oldboy. good stuff. will check out bronson. I am not sure if every one will dig the spiritual overtones, but i dug Hesher. I want a metallica riff when i walk in a room. The swedish version of let the right one in recommended. Red Dawn of course and Children of Men is excellent. However, i would have thought a world without children would have more utopian. already on the breaking bad. best thing in tv.

jerseydave77 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've been destroying Friday Night Lights the TV show. I think you need to have a bit of an interest in sports at your roots but it transcends being simply about football. I'm digging it a ton.

lexicondevil Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I don't know if you can still stream it, but "The Good, the Bad, and the Weird" is a great Korean western. The new version of True Grit is a Coen Bros classic. Also the Supernatural series if you're into X-Files with monsters and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not necessarily sequels, they just share a common theme. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance is wicked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 brick was really weird--i didn't understand most of the slangy dialogue for like the first 30 minutes or so but caught on and ended up really enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Lillyhammer is worth your time. I mostly watch documentaries, everything from poison scorpions to weed. Also all of The Wonder Years is on there, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
