Minirova Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 So, what do you guys like to watch that is on Netflix Instant? Shows and movies obviously. I just found Blood to Wine had been added yesterday and I was totes stoked. It's a documentary on Maynard James Kennan's vineyards and has Puscifer tracks going in the background. P. cool stuff. I don't have cable, i just use Netflix Instant, so I watch a lot of Family Guy and American Dad on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Uhh...I have like 230ish movies on my queue, but mostly I've used it to watch all of Doctor Who, all of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 1 of Archer, and I'm currently working through Buffy (in Season 6) and Pysch. That, and now that BSG is on there, I'm totally going to rewatch it. My latest mistake was adding and watching The Human Centipede. My latest successes were watching The Secret of Kells and Valhalla Rising. In terms of lesser known, or smaller budget stuff, I really recommend Ink (sci-fi/fantasy), Lo (horror stage play?), House of the Devil (70's/80's style horror), Antichrist (creepy as anything I've ever seen), and everyone should watch Tetsuo The Iron Man. Not sure if all of those are still on there. Probably? (I also just added Blood to Wine!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minirova Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I watched the Secret of Kells a couple months ago, I wasn't expecting it to be nearly as good as it was. I just added Valhalla Rising, will have to watch that. Also, for you anime peeps, check out Darker than Black if you haven't already watched it. SO amazing!

diedan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Just a heads up as it's been marketed as an action movie, Valhalla Rising is anything but. The only thing I can think to compare it to is it's as though Werner Herzog directed a movie on acid. It's so strange and quiet and I loved it. And, yeah, Secret of Kells was fantastic.

Mister Jack Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 This should also be a good place to give a heads up about new streams that have hit the service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Go watch The IT Crowd if you haven't already. I just wish you britts made more than 6 episodes for each season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy toves Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 i too only have the 'flix, no cable. it's the way to be. there are bunches of great movies available in the instant queue. ichi the killer and the host are both fantastic if people haven't seen those yet. they just added the first season of she-ra, which excited the heck out of me, but probably nostalgia tainted. not so nostalgia tainted the dark crystal and never-ending story are on there and those are pretty sweet. anime-wise i've been watching soul eater. it's cute and funny, though i've certainly seen better anime. if you want to be disturbed i second diedan's mention of antichrist and add aftermath to the list.

diedan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Aaaaand added Aftermath! Somehow haven't heard of it. Sounds...interesting. And dear god if someone out there somehow hasn't seen it yet, go watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog! I'd feel remiss if I didn't at least throw that out there once.

MagicMagicPony Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I just added Valhalla Rising YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT I AM NOT KIDDING. I saw it last week? and I then I watched it again? and I would totes watch it again right now. OT, Mushi-shi was pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minirova Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 staySick, i've been tempted to watch it but wasn't sure if it was any good. What did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the entire time I was watching the movie I just keep saying to myself, oh god this is so great, this is so great...and then proceeded to have my head implode after the ending.

Minirova Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Damn guys....I kinda want to fire it up at work right now and turn off my lights in my office with the way you guys are talking about it. Might just do that after I eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMagicPony Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Do it. It is very much a lights-off-no-talking kind of movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 According to Netflix, there's going to be a whooooole lot more available on instant soon, as they're starting to move away from disc media and toward instant. I'm pretty stoked by that idea - it's great to be able to find something to watch at your whim. I just hope they don't eventually change their pricing model so that there is a cap on what you can watch instantly - I don't think they would do that. Although Comcast might force them to if that case goes through... Fucking Comcast. On-Topic: My queue is ridiculously large - stuff that is available is always going off the service before I get to it. I've been stoked the Dr. Who Specials are on there (the most recent ones), as I've been wanting to catch up on those and have the latest season on disc waiting at home.

diedan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Preferably on an awesome display. It's so beautiful. In a weird, harsh kind of way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minirova Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 My work display isn't very beautiful...It's just 2 "19 monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I have been watching a lot of different things but mostly Have Gun Will Travel and Dragnet. I added a bunch of silents to my Instant Queue and will watch those as my fiancee has the next season of Ally McBeal on the way. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I only instant stream on Netflix, so when they created the two new subscriptions, I took the $8 a month plan. It's awesome, but I find it hard to find something everyone would like to watch when you simply browse the titles without searching. I mean, I can find something for myself, but there's always gotta be someone who takes issue with a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diedan Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Live alone! It totally solves that problem. One drawback: it's lonely. Also, that's why I just load everything into my queue. A lot easier to look through the 230 movies I have there rather than the entire catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I will say, sometimes it's entertaining to just browse through the titles available. It's like Netflix must have a number of employees who are tasked with finding old bargain bin DVDs. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
