Netflix Gems
 

I've noticed several of us here subscribe to Netflix and I thought it would be cool to make a thread about movies that are on instant cue that may have flown under your radar. I've found that every once in a while I take a chance on a movie I've never heard of and discover a gem. I thought this thread might be a neat way for us to share our discoveries and recommend them to our community. Here are a few of mine(everyone please share!:)):

Ex Drummer
Bad Boy Bubby(thanks again for the recommendation Elvis!)
Savage County
Encounter At Ravens Gate
This Is England


I'm sure some of these may be obvious to some but I had never even heard of them before horror.com or netflix. I'm sure we will run into a bit of that but it is definately not worth fighting over!;)

Great thread!

Here are a few on Instant folks might want to check out:

13 Assassins
Sukiyaki Western Django
Let Me In
I Saw the Devil
Oldboy
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Lady Vengeance

dont get netflix in england :(

Cropsey
Exit Through the Gift Shop

Thank you Chrono! Now I have several more movies to add to my cue! I'm not a huge fan of the asian stuff but I loved Oldboy. I will definately check some of those out!:)

Some fun ones for Halloween


The Ghost and Mr Chicken

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Abbott and Costello Meet The Mummy [ not as good but still a fun watch ]

Mad Monster Party

Little Monsters

Wax Work

Little Monsters is great! You got to love Kevin Arnold(Fred Savage!)

You have to be kidding me...:confused:

we get everything last :mad:

You got Shaun Of The Dead first!:p:D

haha, good movie but there is better.

Ghost Story (1981) R
Fright Night (1985) R
Fright Night Part II (1989) R
The Hunger (1983) R
Innocent Blood aka A French Vampire in America (1992) R
Lifeforce (1985) R
Dracula (1979) R

Not trying to be a dick or anything but I meant instant.

I will check out Ghost Story though. I had a hard time finding Fright Night 2-I had to download a bit torrent.

Funny story...My dad took me to see Lifeforce at the movies...I don't think he expected all the nudity...He still apologizes but what the hell? Mathilda was hot!

Gotcha, didn't get that. But you were already a dick on the other thread when you jumped my shit because I made the mistake of thinking you added approx. 25 in stead of 30 regarding Phantasm.

Very underrated ghost story film.

Mathilda is the best reason to see that film, the special effects certainly weren't very special. Of course being a Golan/Globus production filmed in England it is actually pretty amazing.

OOOOO!!

Troll Hunter is available on Instant now!!

Also...
Big Lebowski
From Dusk Til Dawn
The Thing
Paranormal Entity (I actually thought the rip-off was pretty good)
Kick-Ass!
Paranormal Activity
Session 9
The Possession of David O'Reily
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Clockwork Orange
Shutter Island
Trick 'r Treat


If you're into television...

Mad Men
Breaking Bad


Mad Men is by far one of the best shows on television and thanks to Instant, I'm now caught up.

I'm really starting to regret cancelling Netflix. Why is it AFTER I cancel it, they get good stuff on streaming?! :mad:

Vampyr
Santa Sangre
Lemora:The Lady Dracula
Let Me In
Tales that Witness Madness
The Vampire Lovers
Countess Dracula

I just discovered The Wonder Years!!!! I'm so frigging excited! One of my top 3 series of all time!

The ending sucked. It sucked hard.

Fantastic! Thanks for the tip!

I just discovered the first season of The Walking Dead and Troll 2!

thanks for the heads up on Walking Dead...missed most of the first season.

Chronogrl already said, but I'm going to say it again:

Breaking Bad!

Seriously, it will be many years before another show this good makes it on television.

Also:

Hell Night
Burn, Witch, Burn

OK....OK....I've heard many good things about this show.....but haven't seen one episode yet.....just put season 1 in my queue

I just caught up with that one recently myself. Sheer brilliance. Best show since The Sopranos IMO.

So you've seen the season 4 finale?

Oooooh man!

Awesome! Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

The Roast Of Charlie Sheen and Kevin Smiths Red State are now available streaming!

ATTENTION SCUMFUCKS:


GG Allin and The Murder Junkies: Savage South:Best of 1992 Tour is now available on Netflix!

The Last Exorcism is available...

I just watched this one and liked it.I was surprised after all the bad reviews I had read.

I think I had the opposite experience - I was disappointed because I read a lot of hype about it. Kinda wish I had heard the "bad" reviews first; I think I would have liked it more. ;)

Hey - Have you watched Red State yet? You mentioned it was On Instant and I watched it last week (or so) - Was wondering what you thought. We could PM about it so as not to clog up this thread, but it really riled me up and I want to hear more feedback about it.

...

On another note, Labyrinth is also On Instant. :cool:

I think it would be fine to discuss it here.

I didn't like Red State. I felt like Smith was simply trying to be shocking. I just couldn't find any redeeming qualities....

Gotta say I agree with you. It riled me up because I can't stand the notion that crazy zealot fucks like that exist... But it wasn't new territory. Just reminded me of evils I already know were out there so ultimately I found myself asking... "No kidding. Your point is...?"

The Troll Hunter also..........

Exactly. It almost felt like a watered down version of A Serbian Film or Gutterballs. Shocking me doesn't make the movie good...I was so pissed...How long did us Kevin Smith fans wait for this friggin movie? I am CERTAIN i heard about this flick for atleast 2 years....The wait ended in an utter pile of shit, imo. He could have atleast gave Mewes a cameo........

I didn't think Smith was going out of his way to shock. I thought Red State was like the In The Line Of Duty TV movies of the late 80s early 90s (Ambush In Waco being the obvious one) but with a modern twist i.e combining elements of recent horror films like Eden Lake, Frontier(s) and Wolf Creek. I thought it was an effective homage to those flicks melding fact with pure fiction to make a entertaining movie.

How? Arguably those two flicks only intention was to shock the audience. Completely different kettle of fish IMO from Red State which had a few harsh moments but didn't venture into territory any where near as extreme or vile.

Agreed...I may have used two movies a little extreme as an example. On the same token though this is a hot topic in my area(not the movie as much as the topic). I live less than 2 hours from Wichita. I respect anyones religion as long as it doesn't intrude on my or my families lives. The things this Westboro Baptist or whatever its called does intrudes on my emotions. I felt the film did the same. Maybe thats a good thing but on the other hand I wouldn't want anyones religion being defamed(not that I am saying Smith did that).

Extreme and vile were both there for me. Not necesarily as graphic as the films I mentioned but more implied.

I guess the movie just struck me wrong...like it was using the religious fanatics in my state to further paranoia. I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to summarize exactly what I mean....I hope I haven't pissed anyone off....:(

This statement made me think of a documentary I watched a couple of years ago: "Jesus Camp". Truly fucking scary shit!!
