Unfortunately, The Last Circus is the only film that's available on Netflix Instant. You may have to search elsewhere for the other ones.

Thanks for the recs! Looks like the only one available on Netflix is Dance with the Devil, so I'll have to check that out at some point soon.

I get that - I probably disproportionately enjoyed it because I'm such a sucker for good looking special effects beasties. :D

Ok, so here goes...
The Last Circus (2010)
Well, it's definitely an over-the-top, sweeping absurd epic... I'm just not sure that I care for over-the-top, sweeping, absurd epics.
I thought that the movie definitely started strong, and I really liked the dark absurdest humor... But it lost me about half way through and by the time we reached the fantastically epic finale, I just wasn't into it.
Sorry, J.
I bet a lot of people on here will enjoy it, but it wasn't really for me. Well-made and acted, but felt a bit long.
