NetFlix Instant Play Movie List

[Daktari]

It took a long time for me to get through all of the Law and Order series and spinoffs. So, how I'm on to Buffy the Vampire Slayer before I get to the spinoffs with Angel and Willow.

Been working m'way through The Buffster for a wee while now. I had no idea there was a Willow spin-off. Ta for the tip.

Someone posted this OITNB video on FB today and I just had to share it - it's NSFW though, so be advised. :winky:

Watched a few old movies from Netflix's "Classic Movies" section this past week - a couple of Cary Grant flicks: People Will Talk (1951) and I Was A Male War Bride (1949) and a really good court room drama/mystery(/thriller?) called Hostile Witness (1968).

People Will Talk is where he is a doctor and professor and he meets a single pregnant woman, later falling in love with her. He is also dealing with a little man who is also a prof and who is trying to dig dirt up on him. It's a cute flick with some drama and some humor and Cary is, of course, charming as usual.

I Was a Male War Bride has an incorrect synopsis on Netflix because what Netflix says it is about really only happens in like, the last 10 minutes or so. lol

"Capt. Rochard is a French officer who marries an American female lieutenant, Catherine. All is blissful until Rochard tries to accompany his wife back to the States. Now, Rochard must impersonate a woman in order to join his new bride."

Really, it is a cute comedy where he is on his last mission for the French Army and she is a LT in the US Army and is accompanying him. They have been on missions before and presumably hate each other, but it's pretty clear they really argue because they like each other so much. Anyway, hijinks ensue on the mission, they fall in love, get married and then more hijinks ensue when they try to get back to the states. It's a cute little romantic comedy.

Hostile Witness kinda surprised me. I am not sure why I wasnt sure if I would like it - probably because the Netflix synopsis sounded a little confusing to me, the way it was worded. But never mind that - this was a really good movie that kept me guessing until the end - did he break and do it or was he framed? It was a little Perry Mason and a little Law & Order.

I recommend all 3 flicks - especially if you like the older movies. :)

[Kelt]

The third series of Luther has just finished on the Beeb. All three seasons are awesome! Idris Elba is a fantastic actor. |

I put this in my queue when you first mentioned this and just finished the first two episodes. First rate! Really like the actor and the character.

Thanks for another good one.

[The_Lady_Snow]

"In Her Skin"


WOW, this movie was toe curling from beginning to end!

[Hollylane]

So - anyone else watching this other Netflix show, Hemlock Grove? I read an article that said you may not see it pop up in your suggestions because it is geared toward teen horror fans, but since I watch a lot of horrors, thrillers, mysteries, etc, it kept popping up as a suggestion, so I said wth. I just started it today and am on episode 3 of 13 - it's been renewed for a second season, due out in 2014.

It is set in a fictional town in PA and is kind of slow and steady in its pace - like The Killing, but it has werewolves, gypsies, and a dude who can do Jedi mind tricks on people - but in a creepy way, not in a funny Star Wars way. lol

It is also a murder mystery since *something* keeps killing young women and they are trying to find out who - so it's kind of a The Killing meets Twilight meets Harper's Island kind of show.

Oh - and Eli Roth is the exec producer and also directs at least one episode (the first one).

Here's a trailer:

I tried to watch this one, but it got on my nerves pretty quickly, but I persevered through three episodes, and still didn't like it. I am finding that as I get older, when there is too much gratuitous sex, I quickly lose interest. Some is okay, but when it seems to be every other scene has sexual motives, I don't feel like it is engaging my mind enough.

So, I started watching Alphas, which I have found a little more entertaining.

I am finding the same for myself although I think I would take it a step further and say too much gratuitous 'anything'; sex, gore, way over the top violence, repetitive gross-out, ridiculous overuse of profanities, etc. I am far from a prude, and believe that within context, any of these in proportion can have impact relevant to a given plot.

I am noticing that without a fairly substantial cerebral hook things just don't hold interest anymore. Allowing that each person is going to like different things, there seems to be more and more out there that I can't figure out how anyone could like it.

Just my .02

[Hollylane]

I've watched an episode of Orange is the New Black, another Netflix original. It seems pretty good, but I'll have to get through a few episodes before I can really decide if I like it.

Lots of nudity, and a lot of sex scenes (but short ones, and they don't seem like soft porn, so it's tolerable, so far)...

We just started sharing a Netflix account. Right now we do not have a box to watch it on the TV. What boxes do you like? We do not want to play video games. Do you need a box for each TV?

I am currently using my TiVo box, which is a DVR that also works with Netflix, Hulu+, YouTube, and Amazon, as well as Pandora, Rhapsody, etc for music (currently playing Pandora on there now :winky: ).

But I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with it because there is a weird glitch happening with Netflix for something like the past 6 months - sometimes, it gets stuck and you cant ffw, pause, etc without getting out of Netflix and reloading it. Plus, I cant view my Amazon Prime instant videos through my TiVo - TiVo and Amazon dont seem to be able to agree to work together on that, so while I can rent/buy stuff on Amazon to download into my TiVo, Amazon wont allow me to stream the free stuff on my TiVo. That's really annoying. :(

I can use my Wii to stream both Netflix and Amazon prime, but it is slow and the picture is weird.

I have a friend who has and uses a Roku, so I am getting one of those in September ($70 on Amazon for the second to newest version). It isnt a DVR machine, just a streaming device, but there is no monthly fee associated with the device (TiVo is almost $22/mo), it is really small, and I can stream Netflix, Amazon, and tons of other channels that have streaming on-line like MSNBC, etc - except YouTube, but I never remember to access YouTube when I am on my TV anyway. lol

[Parker]

So, I just watched Flowers in the Attic.

That was .... weird. :blink:

You can buy a lot of different Netflix ready devices. For me, since I do not use dvds, the best, and least expensive choice was the Roku player (it also connects with multiple streaming services, like Amazon & Hulu). There should be a link for them on Netflix's site, but they have changed some things and I had a very hard time finding it, so here's the link (http://www.roku.com/?utm_source=NFLX&amp%3Butm_medium=NRDB&amp%3Butm_campaign=HT). If you have multiple tvs, you need multiple devices. I also use my phone and Kindle to watch videos, if I can pick up wi-fi.

I have watched Lip Service, too bad it was only 2 seasons.
Orange is the New Black was great and glad to hear a second season will be happening.
Now watching The Misfits..interesting show....

[julieisafemme]

Thank you Hollylane and Parker! I think we will go with the Roku although I am bummed we would have to get multiple boxes.

[Kelt]

Thank you Hollylane and Parker! I think we will go with the Roku although I am bummed we would have to get multiple boxes.

I also have a Roku and have since they came out, love them. On the multiple device/multiple $$ front, google just came out with a dongle called Chromecast which looks like it will do the same for $35 ea instead of $99 ea. Untried by me, but worth looking into.

[julieisafemme]

Has anyone found Nothern Exposure in their travels? I loved that show and would love to share it with my daughter!

[Parker]

I havent seen Northern Exposure on Netflix or Amazon to stream/download, but I have seen it available on DVD on Amazon.

Don't bother buying it. Read the reviews. The show was awesome. I own the DVDs and they suck. I am furious that they haven't released this for streaming or decent DVDs.

[Leigh]

i recently discovered that Netflix has some really awesome wrestling dvd's on there that i don't have to buy now cuz i can just watch it online :)

[xxzalciaiomenxx]

We have the Wii downstairs for the kids to watch Netflix, and Hulu+. Upstairs we have the PS3 in our bedroom. The PS3 is much better for streaming than the Wii, not only do you have Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu...but you also have Vudu, Sony Entertainment Network, Epix, which are all pay sites, rentals...then you have Crackle which is completely free, it is movies such as The Mothman Prophecies, Pineapple Express, The Craft etc., put out by Sony. I also have the mini HDMI cord for my tablet, with it I have an app that I can use to watch many tv shows, movies, new releases. We do not have cable tv, nor do we see a need to have it. The kids are perfectly happy with netflix, as are we.

[PoeticSilence]

Well, I do watch HULU but Netflix is my main source for viewing pleasures. I was trolling through my Netflix schedule and saw they have eight seasons of weeds, six seasons of the highlander, six seasons of Xena and eight seasons of charmed. I might have watched a few of these at some point or another, but I worked two jobs back when most of these were on. If you haven't watched revolution, they have one season from 2012 on Netflix. They also have Monk, which I've already watched. I know it's hard to always find something good, but sometimes I just put in a name like Javier Bardem and then watch all of his movies. The wife just finished orange is the new black. She loved it of course.

[Daktari]

Watching "The Walking Dead" Season 2 epi. 8

Last week I watched "Would You Rather....." Since I play that game here, and I like, I thought I would check out the movie. Thank GOD I don't play the live version with the host of this movie :| Gruesome

I have watched "Lip Service" "The Misfits" "Orange Is The New Black" Too bad that, as far as I know "Lip Service" and "The Misfits" are done :( Waiting on season 2 of O.I.T.N.B :thumbsup:

Have been watching "The Walking Dead" now started "Cracked" only has one season. So far I enjoyed the first episode.

Last night I watched the humorous documentary "Kumare" which I think was recommended somewhere on this site a while back. That was how it landed in my queue and I'm glad it did, really funny and telling.

Tonight I'm going to watch another comedy (which is odd for me) called "Salt of life" Italian movie that looks light and fun.

While checking Netflix to see if they had any decent holiday movies (they don't) I ran across this film description with the keyword "christmas" in it.

[Leigh]

I love of course OITNB as well as I've been spoiled with full length UFC specials as well as WWE specials on my favorite wrestlers plus I've watched two of my favorite animated movies which is Ice Age: Continental Drift and the third movie in the Madagascar series Europe's Most Wanted :)

[gotoseagrl]

Not really movies, but i am hooked on almost anything from ID, like Who the Bleep & Stalked. Wish there were more episodes on Netflix.

[Talon]

"Oxymoron"

A Boston independent film.......Authentic southside.


"Plush"
A musician whose brother,as well as her musical partner, dies.
And she loses her desire for her art and her life.

[Talon]

"LOVELACE"


Based on the true story of the legendary adult film star Linda Lovelace,
a woman who was pressured into and abused by the porn industry, before she finally took control of her own life.




"THE ICEMAN"


Based on the true story of New Jerseyan Richard Kuklinsky, who killed over 100 people as a hit man for the Gambino family.

[C0LLETTE]

Luther, MI-5, Inspector Morse, The Bletchley Circle, Wallander,...all British series...and , of course "House of Cards" ..the original Brit version, so much more deliciously evil than its pale American copy.

[Martina]

Inspector Morse

Have you seen Endeavor? It's Morse as a young cop. I have only seen a couple of episodes, but they were god.

[ProfPacker]

House of Cards is coming on again on Feb. 14

[Daktari]

Lie to Me is quite watchable. Tim Roth is in the lead role. I've only seen two episodes but I like it.

Lakey Patterson Zero to 100 is a docu. about a young girl surfer

Fat, sick and nearly dead
Vegucated
Forks over knives
The three above were really interesting and look at the huge health benefits of a plant based diet.

Glad to find some QI on netflix, sad to see it's only 3 seasons.

[ONLY]

Friday night I watched 127 hours with James Franco, based on a true story. I watched out of curiosity.
Saturday I watched "Pain & Gain" with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), based on a true story. I really liked it.
Also watched "Crank" which was pretty good.
And now I am watching "Cellular" with Kim Bassinger.

Lot of time for movie watching, since I have been feeling bad :(
(also watched Burlesque -- have the DVD and watched "Village of the Dammed" on classic movie tv)

[ProfPacker]

I like Kim Bassinet.

[PurerSands]

I'm a bit of a documentary geek. My favourite on Netflix so far was The Bridge. Obviously not my favourite for it's content but for it's concept. (May be triggery for some) Amazing documentary, just not if you're looking for something happy.

Have to second Daktari on Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead- thought it was very interesting.

I'm loving this thread, glad to be giving it a *bump*

[*Anya*]

I probably have 20 movies, TV shows and doc's right now on my queue but I am so engrossed in House of Cards-not watching anything else.

The GF is playing 18 holes today and I am on a marathon. Outstanding! Just love it.

[Kelt]

Inspector Morse is one of those shows I've always meant to watch but for some reason didn't happen. A couple of weeks ago I watched a show called Endeavor, loved it, and found more of them. Now I find out it was a prequel series to the Morse series. Anyway, I've now loaded all 33 episodes into my queue and plan to watch one or two a week. :movieguy:

[Daktari]

Endeavour is a modern take on a Morse prequel. I suggest watching the real deal first dood. Morse is classic telly. Destination tv in it's day. Me and my Ma used to love it.

Haven't seen any Endeavour as yet.

i love documentaries too. i found Love Free or Die to be excellent. i normally might have skipped over it, but ended up loving the overall message. i could have used a tissue by the time it was over lol.

[ForeverMe]

I have really enjoyed several of the shows that have already been mentioned. I have been watching The Unit, lately and love it. I don't think it's on netflix though. I've been streaming it on Amazon prime.

Some of my favorites:
The Unit (amazon)
Under the Dome (amazon)
Lie to me
The killing
House
The following

[gotoseagrl]

The Passionate Friends (1949)

i finally watched this and loved it. it reminded me a lot of Brief Encounters. Thought i had it made through the whole thing without needing any kleenex, til the very last scene lol. Figures.

Now i want to read the book.

[Elijah]

The Fosters is a compelling, one-hour drama about a multi-ethnic family mix of foster and biological kids being raised by two moms. Stef Foster, a dedicated police officer, and her partner Lena Adams, a school vice principal, have built a close-knit, loving family with Stef's biological son from a previous marriage, Brandon, and their adopted twins, Mariana and Jesus. Their lives are disrupted in unexpected ways when Lena meets Callie, a hardened teen with an abusive past who has spent her life in and out of foster homes. Lena and Stef welcome Callie and her brother, Jude, into their home thinking it's just for a few weeks, until a more permanent placement can be found. But life has something else in store for the Fosters.

The series stars Teri Polo as Stef, Sherri Saum as Lena, Jake T. Austin as Jesus, Hayden Byerly as Jude, David Lambert as Brandon, Maia Mitchell as Callie, Danny Nucci as Mike, and Cierra Ramirez as Mariana.

I have one more episode to watch and I'll be finished with both seasons. Yesterday I heard it will not be renewed for a third season. Pity. I've really enjoyed it—more than HoC.

In both versions of HoC the main actor talks to the camera. I think it's a psychological ploy to soften the brutality of the main character. I think it's effective but a bit campy and apologetic.

In Boss, I think the hallucinations are a cushion for the brutality of the main character, but it's not done in a campy way and it's unapologetic. I know that's nit-picking but it makes the difference between the two for me. Anyway, I really like this series.

Thanks again for posting this!

Ted Striker[edit]
It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.
I've been nervous lots of times.

Elaine Dickinson[edit]
Ladies and gentleman, this is your stewardess speaking. We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused. This is due to periodic air pockets we encountered. There's no reason to become alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

Steve McCroskey[edit]
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines!
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

Rex Kramer[edit]
All right, Striker, you listen, and listen close. Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Dr. Rumack[edit]
(repeated before, during and after the landing attempt) I just wanna tell you both: good luck. We're all counting on you.

Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol!

Co-Pilot Roger Murdock (to Capt. Oveur): We have clearance, Clarence.
Capt. Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Dr. Rumack: Captain, these passengers don't have much time. How soon can we land?
Oveur: I can't tell.
Dr. Rumack: You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
Oveur: What I mean is, I don't know.
Dr. Rumack: Well can't you take a guess?
Oveur:...Not for another two hours.
Dr. Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
Oveur: No what I'm saying is we can't land for another two hours.

McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make of this? [hands Johnny a map]
Johnny: This? Well, I can make a hat; I can make a broach; I can make a pterodactyl!

Ted: Mayday! Mayday!
Steve: "Mayday," what the heck is that?
Johnny: Mayday? Why, that's the Russian New Year! We can have a big parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres...

From Netflix: This fascinating and controversial film that goes underneath the surface to explore the prejudices dark-skinned women face throughout the world. It explores the roots of classism, racism and the lack of self-esteem within a segment of cultures.

From the Internet: This dark crime series focuses on the tension between an accused killer and the woman appointed to protect his interests during police questioning. It's a haunting psychological thriller based on the true story of the unusual relationship between serial killer Fred West (Dominic West—The Wire) and his "appropriate adult" Janet Leach (Emily Watson—Gosford Park).

The 70s was a great decade for movies. Some of my favorites are from those years. I haven't watched this one in ages and have never seen the director's cut. Will add it to my queue.

I'm not always crazy about the director's cut. Have you seen Coppola's cut of The Godfather trilogy? He cut it in chronological order and I thought it was dreadful.

I'm gonna watch Mad Max for the first time tonight. Should be fun.

From the Austin Film Society: Based on the 2006 award-winning British two-part mini-series of the same name, "Low Winter Sun" is a contemporary story of murder, deception, revenge and corruption in a world where the line between cops and criminals is blurred. "Low Winter Sun" begins with the murder of a cop by a fellow Detroit detective, Frank Agnew (Mark Strong, Zero Dark Thirty). Seemingly the perfect crime, in reality the murder activates forces that will forever alter the detective's life, and pull him into the heart of the Detroit underworld. Filmed on location in Detroit, this gritty and provocative crime drama explores the city's many contradictions...

See, now I'm torn. This looks good and then I see it's based on a British original. I always find I like the European original versions of things better that the US remakes. It also irritates me that the US producers rely so heavily on copying instead of coming up with something different.

I would start with the British version and decide from there but it doesn't seem to be on Netflix.

Ponders :thinking:

I'm with you, Kelt. I usually prefer the UK originals and/or versions too (though our Law & Order is better than theirs, IMHO), but this version of LWD was good. I doubt it's as good as the original, but it was good. I saw Detroit on film in a way I've never seen it (I know Detroit well). Detroit is a city of extremes—literally and figuratively—and they show the extremes very well. Sometimes to stunning affect, I thought.

The storyline is interesting, the acting is good (especially Lennie James, the brother who's a British actor - I'm watching him now in Jericho), the writing is decent. I watched the whole series and it was worth my time. I recommend it.

I'd love to see the original, but the cheapest I can find it is $25 at Amazon. Hopefully it will be at Netflix soon.

Okay, you've convinced me. ;)

Thanks for Lennie James name; I've really enjoyed him in a couple of things but never knew his name. It was partly seeing him here that made me want to watch it. Having never been to Detroit I appreciate having your personal take on that.

I love Cassavetes as an actor and director (Woman Under the Influence, Killing of a Chinese Bookie) and Gena Rowlands is in a class all her own.

Cilla, a three part biographical drama based on Cilla Black's rise to fame in the 60s, in Liverpool at the same time as the Beatles were becoming famous.

The point of my post is to say that I've enjoyed Cilla entirely because of Sheridan Smith's performance. I think she's going to be hugely famous and that you lot will eventually get to know about her. If you've seen Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps or Gavin and Stacy you've seen her.

When I went on to add this I was pleased to see new episodes are available for Foyles War and Call the Midwife also.

The folks over at Lifehacker have hired a developer to build extensions and their first one is for Netflix on Chrome.

It looks promising and I'm tinkering with it now although of course a couple of obvious-to-me features are still not there, but it's a good start. It's called Flix Plus and you can read about it here (http://lifehacker.com/flix-plus-customizes-netflix-to-your-hearts-desire-1640968001).

It's not Netflix but if you access http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1190822/Not_Going_Out/season_1/episode_1/Serious/ you'll find Not Going Out. Current Brit tv humour. I love it. It's written by Lee Mack, the northern dude in the show, and has some fab one-liners.
The new current series has just started but the linky-loo I've posted is s1ep1.

I'll no longer add these Netflix notices because I purchased an XMBC media box and I'm ditching Netflix (luckily, I can still get some Netflix content).

Wentworth seems more like the Spanish HBO series Capadocia than OITNB. Capadocia is a women's prison story told like a telenovela - super dramatic - and probably jumps the shark in the 3rd season - but it also address women's and poverty issues.

[Daktari]

I'm part way through season 2. Thanks for the recommend! What was the Prisoner series like?


Let's just say Prisoner had dodgy 80s production values; the set could be as creaky as some of the dialogue but to us it didn't matter we loved it all the more.
There weren't, and still aren't, many shows with mostly female casts so they stand out in the memory. Prisoner was cult telly for every dyke (and many none dyke women) I knew back then.

In Prisoner, Bea is Top Dog and young upstarts like Reb don't last so long. Lizzy Birdsworth was always a favourite character with her grizzled old face. It's really weird as an original Prisoner fan to watch other actors playing the characters we knew and loved.

That sounds like fun! Are you from Australia? I wonder if the Prisoner is available any where.

[WildHorses]

I am a bit um, never mind but does anyone else watch Wentworth?

It is a spin off- sort of new continuation of Prisoner - Cell Block H which I began watching in '79.

[Daktari]

Nah I'm not Aussie...UK got a fair amount of Aus tv from the late 70s through the 80s. Who could forget The Sullivans and Young Doctors. Not to mention the suburban horror of Neighbours!! Kylie and Jason anyone?!

Thanks guys!

We would have never watched Wentworth, had I not read about it here.

We loved it and tried to limit ourselves to 2 episodes per night (it was difficult!).

We finished the 22 episodes last night. The GF did some research and found that Wentworth was a real prison in Australia that was closed in the 1920's. <<< Just a little trivia for you.

New episodes are supposed to be out sometime time in 2015.

:)

[WildHorses]

I am going to try to find episodes of Prisoner Cell Block H that I use to watch in '79.
I think Wentworth is a type of updated version of it.

"Prisoner is an Australian soap opera, set in the Wentworth Detention Centre, a fictional women's prison. In the United States and United Kingdom it was billed as Prisoner: Cell Block H, and in Canada as Caged Women. The series was produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation in Australia, and aired on Network Ten, running 692 episodes from 27 February 1979 to 11 December 1986, after originally only devised as a 16 part mini-series."

I just watched the first two episodes of Black Mirror (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/) last night and it was good. I gotta say I was fascinated by the dilemmas set up, especially in the first one. I'm going try another one or two tonight.

[MrSunshine]

I watched Black Mirror. It is interesting and strange.

[*Anya*]

An unexpected surprise. Rather slow-moving but a good movie.

Netflix streaming:

A sophisticated tale of an unlikely romance between two extraordinary artists, set against the backdrop of political upheaval and a clash of cultures. Grappling with writer's block, legendary American poet Elizabeth Bishop, poet and winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1956, (Miranda Otto) travels from New York City to Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s to visit her college friend, Mary (Tracy Middendorf).

Hoping to find inspiration on Mary's sprawling estate, Elizabeth winds up with much more; an affair with famed female architect Lota de Macedo Soares, creator of Rio's Flamengo Park.

Just finished with Wentworth.
I am waiting on baited breath for Season 3.
Does anyone know when that will be airing?
I am totally hooked on it!

Also, watched "good people" with James Franco.

Very disappointed.
I am having a hard time
finding a good indie flick right now!
Netflix needs to step up that game.

"Reaching for the Moon"

All that I could find online about Wentworth is that it would be on Netflix sometime in 2015 (big help!); however, good news for House of Cards fans, new episodes will be on Netflix February 27th, 2015.

I feel another binge coming on!

[Jess]

most recent "series" addictions have been BBC detective type shows or period pieces or Canadian or Aussie featuring strong female leads... I hates it when they are over and I am left wanting more...

Rosemary and Thyme
The Bomb Girls
Call the Midwife
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries ( unfortunately only one episode; features Diana Rigg... yum)


In between I throw in a couple horror type flicks:
Oculus, The Taking of Deborah Logan, Dark Skies

and some light films:
House of Magic, Journey to the West, All Hail King Julien

Wentworth is on the list as is Broadchurch

I read in yesterday's edition of The New York Times, front page of the Weekend Arts section, that Leonardo DiCaprio produced an Netflix documentary, titled "Virunga" .... the ad for the film stated:: "Consider this. Only 800 Mountain Gorillas remain in the world."

I want to watch this documentary.

The film has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

I second The Fall. Which reminds me of Jaime Dornan, which reminds me of the show Once. It's surprisingly good and is based around strong female characters.

I really liked seasons 1 & 2 but I'm getting a little bored in season 3. My niece says that season 4 has the Frozen characters (I haven't seen the movie) and is the best season yet - though she is a Frozen fan. Let me know how you like it as it continues. Have you watched Arrow? People love that too - but I'm reluctant because, unlike Once, it doesn't seem to have strong female leads and I'm not a comic book fan.

I've watched 9 episodes so far. I was really sucked in the middle episdoes. the first couple of episodes and episode 8 are voice-over heavy and plot manipulative - too Damages like? But in those middle episodes all the characters are in the gray area - I can feel for all of them - and almost all of them scare me a little. I keep wanting to scream at them - Why can't you all talk to each other? And to Danny - can't you just have a screaming fight with your family. But I guess it's all the gothic secrecy.

[HoldMeSteady]

I forgot to say how much I love the performances. Kyle Chandler's and Ben Mendelsohn's performances are multi-faceted. Chandler, like in Friday Night Lights, says so much with so little. Has anybody seen the movie Animal Kingdom? Since seeing it, seeing Mendelsohn on the screen makes my stomach tighten. He makes me feel just as queasy on this show. So good. lol And I love seeing my "friends" from my old favorite series Friday Night Lights and Linda Cardellini from Freaks and Geaks. Do you think I'm a little too close to the characters on my TV screen?

[*Anya*]

'Hit and Miss'

"The accomplishment of the interesting "Hit and Miss is that it deftly navigates its minefield of a premise. The lead character, Mia (Chloe Sevigny) is indeed a coldly efficient killer, and she's also transgender, but first and foremost, she's a human being with flaws, an agenda and complex emotions that creator Paul Abbott ("Shameless," "State of Play") and writer Sean Conway spend a lot of time exploring. This show isn't about the premise, it's about the difficult person at the heart of it.

Generally speaking, the low-key "Hit and Miss" does a good job of exploring Mia as a person while acknowledging her trans status matter-of-factly. Her transition isn't who she is, it's part of who she is; the difficulty she has achieving true emotional intimacy is more of a factor in her story than the status of her body or the hormones in it. Just as Mia carefully controls the images she projects -- she wears an asexual hoodie and dark clothing for work, but flowing dresses and colorful cowboy boots the rest of the time -- "Hit and Miss" is an exercise in measured, deliberate characterization."

I really liked this series. Unfortunately, it is only one season and there will not be any additional seasons. On Netflix.

Just finished it. I like it a lot. It was about so much more than transexuality but dealt with it differently than most media. I hate when a season ends with a cliff hanger and it doesn't come back.

It took us 3 episodes to get into this series and many of you may have already seen it. I do not know if there will be a season 2 or if it is just a mini-series; regardless, it is absorbing and interesting. It is difficult to figure out who is the bad guy at any given moment and I like that.

The Honourable Woman (2014)

Centers on Nessa Stein, a woman who inherits her father's business and finds herself in a international maelstrom as she continues to promote the reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians.

Stars: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Stephen Rea, Lubna Azabal

I found it interesting as well. Pretty brave in the current political climate.

I watched A Good Marriage (Joan Allen, Anthony LaPaglia). Creepy. 3 1/2 stars, worth watching.

From IMDB.com "After 25 years of a good marriage, what will Darcy do once she discovers her husband's sinister secret?"

I started watching Sense8. It's got lesbian, and gays and trans ... oh my! I'm finding it fun.

Wondering if anyone else has run into this...

Apparently some time ago Netflix updated their site and now I can't see any descriptions. :blink: Just a title, year, list of actors, genre. When I checked it looks like what they show for the new update but the sample (on the corporate site) has descriptions and mine doesn't.

I guess others have had the same problem, chatter on google, but I see no solution.

Sort of makes the whole service pointless. :thinking:

Ideas? Solutions?

ETA: I tried it on two different browsers in case it was on my end.

Update: I found the problem, it was an extension I was using that was specific to netflix called Flix. I recommended it some time back on this thread. :blush: I turned it off and found that the new version of Netflix incorporates all of the features I was getting from the extension anyway.

You may return to your seats... :movieguy:

Here I am pulling up your posts so I can leave you a rep note (translation: The Lazy Man's private message), and I find you being your neurotic self here on the netflix thread. I thought you saved this for the :| thread?

P.S. No one gives a shit. Except maybe me. And that is only because I see myself in you. You poor sap.

Naw, the :| thread is for general daily neurosis. These topic specific bouts of oddness go to the most appropriate thread. :cheesy:

Is there an echo in here? :thinking:

Back to regularly scheduled recommendations folks, my list is getting whittled down and I need new ideas!

I liked Sens8; my current binge is Fringe, and with 5 seasons, it will keep me entertained for a few weeks.

Good picks both!

Regrettably I just finished Sense8 and have already watched Fringe, excellent by the way, enjoy. :movieguy:

A while back somebody got me hooked on "The Americans", now I'm out of that and need some more cold war fix. "The Assets" is doing a nice job. :movieguy:

[Karysma]

I recently watched Chuck and Nikita... both good.

I really want to watch the Daredevil one when I have time next... :D

I miss The Americans. I just love the intrigue laced in with the marriage drama. I saw one episode of The Assets but didn't love it . Should I try harder?

The Assets does not have the kind of relationship-based drama that was so integral to The Americans at all. There is one marriage that is central to the plot in a different way and isn't apparent until further in. It should be noted that this is a depiction of real life events, not straight fiction. There are other relationships more emphasized in this one, spy/handler for instance.

I was alive and very aware of cold war espionage at the time so for me it's a lot of memories of my twenties, I remember these events. The pre-tech period and tradecraft is refreshing now that everything is so tech. It's close to a documentary and in fact the last episode is a recap of the real events and newscasts with the real life people who were portrayed. (docudrama?)

This was a great bonus for me but if you're looking for a fictional drama it might not be the fit you're looking for. If you enjoy espionage for it's own sake, I would try another episode or two before giving it a toss, it draws you in on that level.

Best binge-worthy t.v. shows, please. My tastes are eclectic but I am running out of things to watch. Help would be appreciated! Also perusing this thread. I might try sense8.

Sense8 was strange but I hung in there until the end. Don't know if I will watch again if there is season two.

Did you watch Bloodline? Really great series.

Gillian Anderson as a UK police inspector in The Fall? Quite good.

Also Peaky Blinders, two seasons. Very good.

If you have HBO GO, Game of Thrones. LOVE IT! Also on Amazon Prime but you would have to pay and it gets pricey.

We just finished season 3 of The Vikings. On Amazon Prime. Loved it! Eagerly awaiting season 4 but it won't be on History channel until 2016. I just watched the trailer for season 4 last night. They previewed it at ComicCon. Ragnar! Waiting for you!

Not a series but one of my all-time favorite concert movies: The Last Waltz. About The Band's last concert. On Netflix. Just terrific.

Will think about other good ones I have not listed before.

:)

Thanks for the reply and the ideas! You've given me some good ideas. I do have HBO and Game of Thrones is an all time favorite. I will let you know what I decide to watch.

[candy_coated_bitch]

I ended up going with Bloodline. I've watched two episodes and feel pretty into it. I tried Sense8 but after two and a half episodes I felt like the plot line was still really garbled, and not binge worthy. I may go back at some point but not right now.

Thanks for all the help, Anya!

[ahk]

I just started to watch Graceland-- pretty good.

Here are a few others that I've watched.

Magic City
The Mind of a Chef
Wet Hot American Summer

And I've watched in movies--

Hercules
Romeo & Juliet
Aviator
What's eating gilbert grape?
The Skeleton twins
Comet

I have bloodline-- lined up to watch.

[PurerSands]

Probably a little bit late to the party, but recently got into Suits. Great show!

Also saw that someone recommended Wentworth, totally second that!

I just saw the trailer for a new series coming on Netflix on August 28th called Narco. It's about the cocaine trafficking of the late '70's and early 80's.

It looks pretty good.

Glad you have some new shows to watch CCB:)
