My Netflix is empty. Recommendations?
 

Maybe some good Indies? But anything, really.

recommendation: cancel netflix and switch to one of those $1/night rental machines at the supermarket.

SAW IV mate. highly recommended!

The Man From Earth!

very thought provoking film

added. haven't seen much good sci fi lately

I stopped at II. How do III and IV compare?

its a thought film, it all takes place with abunch of friends in a living room basically but the story is very good

Try "Hard Candy", has this indie feel to it.

......added

Ones I have liked lately
3:10 to Yuma
The Kingdom
Eastern Promises
Stardust
The Namesake

and this is a really good double feature: Watch Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale and then watch the documentary of the real man in Little Dieter Needs to Fly.

A few foreign language films I have recently enjoyed:

The Green Butchers - http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Gre...chers/70031776

Ten Canoes - http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Ten_Can...0&trkid=129129

The Lives of Others - http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Liv...thers/70056425

Sunshine -- the last ten minutes of this flick will steam clean your mind.

The Kingdom -- got no love last year, but it ain't too shabby. Slowly builds to a crazy last 30 minutes.

Once

The Dead Girl

I really liked that flick.

Wanna be Netflix friends? I'm always lookin to add more to my list....I get my best movie selections looking at my friends' rental que.

Sunshine. Good Sci-Fi

Yeah, shoot me your email address.

[email protected] <-- NOT my netflix email address

City of God
Kingdom of God
Repo Man
The Drugstore Cowboy
Requiem For a Dream

I don't think I will ever get to the bottom of my blockbuster dvd by post list.

Ever seen 'The Dish'? It is a sleepy type paced film from Australia about their role in the broadcasting of the first man on the moon. It is gentle but funny and I liked it.

Fido - A great, cheesy zombie movie.

It takes place after the zombie war. A scientist figures out how to tame zombies via an electronic collar so now everyone owns zombie pets/slaves.

the lives of others, half nelson, amelie, lost in translation... and if you want to go to the movies you have to see "no country for old men"

also heard "there will be blood" is good too.

There Will be Blood is great. Even better than No country, I thought.

I loved all of those movies

seem some. i like your taste. added "cowboy"

looks like something i'd like. scared me for a sec. I thought it was a moon landing hoax flick ;-)

BroRape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STILL waiting for you to send me a copy

Nope :) Wait for the scene where the teenage Australians are told to play the American anthem. Made me giggle.

also Resident Evel III with Mila.

This is great. I have 20 new movies. Netflix recommendations suck. GFY recommendations look pretty good.

Now, remember to report back..part of the fun of recommending things is to see if people liked them or not.

Holy shit! I love that movie but haven't seen it in a LONG time.

This is a little late but I remember a lot of GFYers recommended "Red violin" quite a few years back. Didn't do anything for me at all.

tons of great suggestions here:

fucking-around-and-business-discussion/767363-movie-recommendations-seven-12-monkeys.html

Be warned! This film is hardcore....its the only film I have almost switched off, due to feeling dirty and I that I should not be watching it :helpme

That comment just made me move it up the list

city of god

If you enjoy it then be sure to check out the entire catalogue of films by Takashi Miike. They are a bit hit and miss, but definitely crazy stuff!

The Nines

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Nin...1244809778_8_0

Good indies...here are some indies/foreign...

Buffalo 66, Brotherhood of the Wolf, Old Boy, Dead Man's Shoes

tv - THE WIRE

Click on the "Movies You'll Love" tab.

You'll either completely love it or completely hate it, there is really no middle ground for Visitor Q. I was in the love it camp, haha

I would recommend
Battle Royale
Cocaine Cowboys (the documentary, not the cheese-fest from 1979 ;-))
Thank You For Smoking
Children of Men
Ichi The Killer
Gummo (warning: extremely artsy fartsy, another of those you'll love it or totally hate it type movies)

Time to contact old friends - you crazy fucker !!
