NUance Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Any other Netflix fans here? I’ve been getting into watching stuff on Netflix lately. I only do the streaming, don't order the DVDs. They have tons of movies available—but only about 10% of which I’d actually want to watch. A couple decent movies I’ve seen lately: Limitless, The Troll Hunter and Trees Lounge. None of the three were *great* movies. But worth watching.Anyway, I’d thought a thread like this would be a good place to compare notes/recommendations about stuff on Netflix. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've found Netflix is also a good place to watch cable/TV series that are not on at a convenient time for me, or are no longer shown on TV. Also old TV series that aren’t available anyplace else. Like old episodes of Columbo (is that a movie or TV series?), Portlandia, Louie and 30 Rock. They also have the first season of Archer, which of course is mandatory to see. And Sparticus, made for TV series on Starz. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 If you've never watched the series Blue Mountain State, you should. It is freaking hilarious! Quote Link to comment
bennychico11 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We have both instant and Blu-ray's through Netflix. I like the instant for TV shows...purely because I can watch shows I've been wanting to see for while. I just got into watching Lost and it's nice to sit and watch them all back to back. I also caught up with Mad Men recently They're movie selection on instant is kind of lacking. And their HD quality isn't quite HD yet, IMO. Here's a couple movies you might like that ARE on instant, though (just going through my list): The Red Violin Pelada The Way Back The Game The Next Three Days Blindsight On A Clear Day Limitless Sherlock (TV series....really good one too that they should be continuing shortly) I Love You Phillip Morris Proof of Life Winter's Bone Black Death Knockaround Guys Ip Man The Fountain Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Here are some good shows/movies I have watched with Netflix: Breaking Bad Archer The Walking Dead The League Where the Buffalo Roam Alice's Restaurant 1 Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 My brother-in-law introduced me to Glee. I love stargate so I finally got into universe. Really enjoyed the prince of persia movie. Really depends on your taste. If you enjoy drama (not necissarily chick movies) then I really liked Grey Owl but I'm a HUGE Pierce Brosnan fan... Been wanting to check out the Sherlock Holmes that BennyChico mentioned above. Honestly it's mostly for the kids as I don't buy cable (other than sports and now movies I don't watch it) so I love all the selection... Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I started watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix a little over a month ago and I couldn't stop watching. I watched all 3 seasons in a matter of weeks. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Party Down Arrested Development (I had never seen it before) The League ThanksKilling (It had a $3500 budget, a hilariously awful B-movie) I've been watching some stand-up on there too. I recommend Bill Burr's "Let it go" It was really fitting for me and my friends. Russell Peters is good too. As well as Jim Gaffigan if you've never seen him. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is a mix and match, some shows some movies. I like all this stuff, your mileage may vary. And is currently all availible for instant play. Terriers Kick Ass Men Who Stare at Goats Archer The Machinist Big Trouble in Little China Dollhouse Sports Night Battlestar Galactica(the new series, not the one with Dirk Benedict) Futurama Burn Notice I can offer longer thoughts on them if someone asks.

NUance Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Several movies/series mentioned that I’ve been thinking about watching. And some I’ ve not even heard of. Like Party Down, Knockaround Guys, and Alice's Restaurant. I’m not familiar with these. Have to give them a look. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 A couple series I’ve been getting into are The Unusuals and Weeds. I think the Unusuals is off the air already. One season and out. I hadn’t heard of it when it was on a couple years back. Quote Link to comment

I had never heard of Party Down until I got Netflix, easily one of the funniest shows I have ever watched. Quote Link to comment

They're making a movie for next year though! Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I watched one of Bill Hicks' stand-up performances from 1989 last night. That guy was pretty damn interesting/funny. Too bad he died so early. 1 Quote Link to comment
