Natch' I put this right in my queue. Of course there was listed a US version (shudder). When will the US concede that the brits do a helluva lot better job with tv, especially if it involves humor?

:movieguy:

The Inbetweeners started as a telly show on Channel 4 with several seasons under it's belt. Well worth checking it out too. :cheesy:

I watch predominantly US made tv oddly. :|

From my DVD que
 

Nothing like a good classic just finished the 1973 The Exorcist: The Extended Director's Cut

Each time I watch this I end up with a new favorite part. Wonder if it has to do with the age I am at time of watching it

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.

I am ecstatic to find my "Forensic Files" has been added to Netflix!

Hmm that's a hard one Jacob's Ladder comes to mind but not positive it's on Netflix or just in my collection will get back to you on the suggestions though as soon as I am done with watching Trancendence CCB

House of voices

Beast with 1,000,000 Eyes!

Leonardo Da Vinci : Mystery Files

Primal Fear

King of New York

Oxford Murders

Day Zero

The Last Days

The Amazing Transparent Man

That should entertain you for a bit. :rrose:

Today was marathon day on my Netflix

First a marathon of Forensic Files

Ending the night with a marathon of Continum

watched this today. Documentary about the virtual site Second Life.

Interesting.

Low Winter Sun (US Series)
 

http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70285786?trkid=13641907



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.

:movieguy:

Since you seem to have the inside track, let us know when the original hits Netflix. :)

Pina (A tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch)
 

http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70209134?trkid=2361637

Wim Wenders directs to arresting effect in this performance documentary about Pina Bausch's Tanztheater Wuppertal dance company.

A french film that I enjoyed...
 

faces: John Cassevettes
 

recently rewatched this on you tube. Gena Rowlands has always been one of my favorite actresses (even though she seems sometimes like she is blowing bubbles when she talk). But Cassevettes is a brillant director.

now I am thinking about late 60's films

Bergmann
Cassevettes
D.H. Lawrence: the Fox
2001 space odessey

and many more

De Duva: Madeline Kahn's first film
 

I saw this short in 1968 as a short film and I have never forgotten it. Those with a twisted sense of humor and who want the best parody of Bergmann have to see it (it is only 14 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X2QmLWWxq4

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.

More than once he mortgaged his home to finance his films (!) now that's an independent filmmaker.

Do you remember him in the television show, Johnny Staccato? Had a nice soundtrack. Here's an episode:



And here's one of his films at Netflix:Minnie and Moskowitz

watched this again for the hundredth time. It's so good if you love Indie flix!

Sparkle and I recently binged "Happy Valley" on Netflix. If you like British dramas, I highly recommend it.

Well, after my previous comments about wanting to see the british version first, I went ahead with this version. It's good! I'm on about the fourth episode or so and thoroughly enjoying it.

Thanks for another good tip. :movieguy:

My pleasure! :)

Looks interesting, I'll give it a go!

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

I seem to be having a period British theme going on here, hmm.

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.
