Excellent movie.
Although, overall, unless you are into watching series, Netflix is overrated.

Arrow
The Flash
Prison Break
House is good but there's like 7 seasons and it gets boring after 2.

Netflix has a LOT of really bad movies. However, it's great for series and has enough okay new movies to make it tolerable. The real clincher is the fact that it costs $8.00 per month. I remember renting new releases for $5.00 month.
The Duellists
The Sopranos
The Wire
The Walking Dead
The Americans
Boardwalk Empire
Homeland
VEEP - comedy
EXTRAS - BBC comedy
The Office UK - just 12 episodes or so
George Gently - 1960s cop drama - BBC
I like British television (and to a lesser extent their movies) and they have a million crime dramas and period dramas from WWI to the 1960s - they aren't for everyone, but they are very high quality.
The WAR - documentary on WWII on PBS - really well done, also by Ken Burns
If I got on my Netflix queue I could prob give you 40 more.
have netflix and I'm really disappointed with the selection it seems like a database of every b movie
Band of Brothers
The Sopranos
The X Files
24

If you're receiving Netflix dvd's, get ready for 20% of them to be scratched to the point of unplayable...You're an hour into a film and suddenly the screen image freezes and won't advance, so you pull the disc out and examine it and there is a grievous gash running over its surface, a gash so obviously unplayable--but they sent it anyhow.

Dude - Netflix hasn't dealt in DVDs for at least half a decade. Everything is streaming now. Might want to give it a try.

None of these are on Netflix - how about you answer the OP's question instead of being purposefully misleading.

Yeah but I think s/he later asked for any recommendations whether on Netflix or not...

That is not true. They do DVDs now and have for a long time.
Also, to the guy that said they arrive scratched, I have been getting them for years and I have never had one arrive scratched or un-watchable in any way.

Actually, I just checked and they are ALL on there ... on DVDs.
Highly highly highly recommend Black Mirror. It's hauntingly good and deals with a lot of the issues we'll be facing in the near future. The last episode of season 2 literally predicted what is happening with Donald Trump. And the new "christmas special" is incredible.
Two obvious omissions from the Netflix list:
1. The League
2. Blue Mountain State (this show will lower your IQ, but it's worth it.)
*you must enjoy d!ck jokes to watch either of these shows.
I watched both 24 and the X Files through Netflix. Not sure why some are saying you can't.
I like a lot of the BBC shows. Of course Netflix is the only way to access them.
Watched a show called "Merlin" and now I am into a show called "Survivors"
The Brits tend to have much better actors IMO.
I watched Slaying the Badger last night. Its a documentary on the rivalry between Hinault and Lemonde. Basically makes the case that Lemonde was the best rider in the pre epo era.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Fair Chase on Netflix.
It's a documentary based on the book, Born to Run, about a group of runners attempting to persistent hunt an antelope. Takes place in New Mexico! Check it out!
Some good ideas here...
watched all 3 seasons of Wentworth / wentworth prison in like 2 days I freaking love that show. Aussie's rule way way better then Orange is the new black.
