diedan Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Oh god I love that movie so much. Everyone should watch it. Also, Cronos (Guillermo del Toro's first feature) was added recently. Haven't seen it, but it's del Toro, right? Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead was also recently added. Haven't seen that either, but, again, possibly great? I mean, conceptually it's a winner; don't know about the execution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxnevmorexx Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 ive been watching documentaries recently and found a few good ones. I'd highly reccomend Restrepo, its about the lives/missions ect of soldiers in afganistan. Its not a polished cut out all the bad scenes film either, there are some graphic parts to it. links yo! http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Restrepo/70129360?trkid=2429429#height1522 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 The Iron Giant is on Netflix. If you haven't seen it you should. It's directed by Brad Bird who later did The Incredibles and Ratatouille . Go watch it. I'd be surprised if anyone here hasn't seen it by now, but it is required viewing, yes. Really? Seems like nobody I know has seen it. I saw it at the theaters and was like 1 out of 10 people who did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 They used to play Iron Giant on tv all the time. I mean, ALL THE TIME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I watched the crap out of it when I was a kid. BTW, if you want a good documentary to watch, check out The Cove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staySICK Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 staySick, i've been tempted to watch it but wasn't sure if it was any good. What did you think? It wasn't that bad. There were a few parts where I like "...wat." but overall it was pretty enjoyable and fairly interesting. Not OMG YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS, but not horrible either.

Battra92 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ken Bruns' The Civil War I think is on Netflix Streaming. I have the DVD set to that and have watched it probably two dozen times (and played the soundtrack hundreds of times) so I've more than got my money out of it. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knifington STRIKE Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 There's quite a few shows on there that have been cancelled that are up for streaming. Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles Dead Like Me Pushing Daisies You should also check out Bubba Ho-tep if you haven't already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh! Good to hear. I mean, yeah, you're right, del Toro + Ron Perlman; it does seem like it would be tricky for that to be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minirova Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I haven't watched it yet :-( Got too wasted last night to watch it and then worked from home today and played RoF all day. I hope that's an acceptable excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diedan Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Exit Through the Gift Shop has been added! Anyone with any interest in Banksy or graffiti art in general should definitely watch this. It's a documentary about a guy who sets out to make a documentary about Banksy but can't stop filming so Banksy turns it around and makes a documentary about him. I know, confusing! And great.

Minirova Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 ZOMG totally. Might just throw it in the "Last good movie you watched" thread though. I had to take a break and do some work, but will get back to it shortly. Will definitely finish it by the end of the day. I'm about 30 minutes through it and like it so far, although there could be a bit more dialogue. They do a very good job of portraying what's going on without it, but I'm just more of a fan of dialogue than action. So far, good movie though.

Minirova Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just finished it. I honestly was a bit underwhelmed. The cinematics were absolutely amazing, but the story pretty much sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noooooooo! Well, we may have hyped it up just a tiny bit. I really, really liked the plot; however, I don't have time to write up a well-thought out post about it right now. Stupid work.
