Can you recommend any REALLY good movies on Netflix Instant?

THE BIG LEBOWSKI! great movie

Troll Hunter is Norwegian, not Swedish. However, it is a great movie.

Other movies (based on a one minute glance at my queue):

- The Fighter

- True Grit

- All the ESPN 30 for 30 movies

- In the Name of the Father

- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

- Spinal Tap

- The Pianist

- The IT Crowd (TV)

- Tons of children's movies/TV

Thanks!

the grey ** havent seen mentioned yet

sin nombre **** (Great train movie)

margin call *** (makes job creators seem human)

super 8 *** (kids who make movies love it)

lost in translation *** (best pic nominated, i think)

---- enjoyed all of the above recently, you may too.

I watched Breaking Bad seasons 1-4. Now watching American Horror Story, which is no Breaking Bad, but somewhat interesting. I like Netflix for TV shows because I never watch TV anymore because of commercials, etc. With Netflix I can watch them on my schedule and more than 1 episode per week.

I used to have netflix a couple years ago, so idk if this is all still current, don't see why it wouldn't be

Paths of Glory

-Kubrick's 2nd feature length(I think). It's about a WW1 assault gone wrong and the men who are court-marshalled in the fallout

Lolita

-Also Kubrick, I think this is his first feature-length, but I could be off as with the above title. It's the classic Nabokov novel over Humbert Humbert's infatuation with a 13 year old girl.

The Last Detail

-Jack Nicholson stars as a bawdy liutenant given the task of escorting a young private off to 5 years in jail for stealing an irrelevant sum of money from a donation box. He tries to help the kid have a good time before he spends a huge chunk of his young life in jail unjustly.

I'll second or third or whatever those who have said GlennGary Glenn Ross

Try 'Metropia' for an interesting animated viewing experience on netflix/instant.

The movies do suck.

We watch a lot of the TV shows. Don't have cable so even a 6-7 year old cable show is new to me.

I love netflix.

I've watched all of Breaking Bad, Weeds and Walking Dead. I will probably check out American Horror Story next.

Some good movies: Exit through the Gift Shop, Let the Right One In, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.

I'm into documentaries and horror and there are tons of those. My kids are watching all the old Twilight Zone shows.

Some more: Drive, Everything Must Go, Stranger than Fiction, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Bronson.

GREAT movie!

There is a good youtube video for GGR investigating which character uses the most profanity...good for a laugh if you like the movie.

Man on Wire is one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Exit through the Gift Shop is entertaining.

Art of the Steal is good, too.

Yes, people were talking about Man on Wire on Letsrun earlier in the year and I found it on Netflix and watched it.

That whole thing was just crazy.

The logistics of sneaking up both sides of the twin towers throughout the middle of the night and just executing the part of shooting the wire from one tower to the next was amazing.

And dealing with watch guards at the same time.

Then walking across with instant death looming, crowds looking up, helicopters observing and police waiting ...

Just nuts.

If this were a scripted movie, it would still have been pretty good.

But the fact that it actually happened and they showed some real footage was fascinating.

Even though you know he lives (he talked in the movie, therefore he lives), you feel nervous watching it.

They did a good job with the movie.

i think it is worth it. it is what, $10 a month? how much is a rental, $5? rent 2-3 a month and it pays for itself. i dont have cable, so i watch a lot of netflix. old westerns, stand up comedy, documentaries.

my house does not have a fireplace so i turned on the "christmas yule log fireplace" for a laugh from some friends. the comments are pretty hilarious. now i am watching it at work on my other monitor...
