what's the last worthwhile thing you watched on Netflix Instant?

[allthatisman]

I JUST started watching the Office. I have never seen it, and so far I love it! I work in an office that is depressingly almost identical to the one portrayed in the show, so it hits a little close to home... a little too close... I would definitely say that the show so far (season 3) is more reality TV than actual reality TV.

CoM...

The Children of Men?

Children of Men. yes.

basically, there is 2001, and Children of Men when it comes to excellent sci fi, if you ask me. then about 90% chaff with some gems thrown in there.

Agree that 2001 is "THE" best scifi movie.....

However, I'd think that at least "some" of these are excellent scifi movies...

Alien
Clockwork Orange
Metropolis
Blade Runner
Terminator
Day the Earth Stood Still
Brazil

 

[CVSiN]

Nickleback Live at Sturgis
Knuckleheads comedy with "the big show"
Legendary Drama with John Cena
lots of TV Californication, Dexter, Family Guy, etc..

CoM...

The Children of Men?

This movie apparently generates extreme feelings in its viewers. I bought it with no concept of what it was about (when HD-DVD came out). It's one of the worst movies I've seen. I lent it to two people and they had similar reactions. Some feel that it's one of the best.

I'd suggest watching it. Given how divisive it is, how could you not?

I've never seen it. I'll put it in the queue and check it out.

CoM sucked total snoozefest..

 

[TheStu]

Better Off Ted

 

[Andy22]

Mister Foe, Ip Man. Ip Man is one of the best movies I have seen in the last few years and has some incredible kung foo fight scenes and choreography.

Everything I watch on Netflix is awesome. Why would I watch crap?

 

[CZroe]

It's actually pretty fuckin good, especially the 'Boone County mating call'.

I've got family in WV so I watched it and saw a lot that was very true.

I particularly liked the part where she points out the commandment her husband broke ("Thou shalt not commit adultery"), following that with "I'll kill 'im!" and then the kid tells her to "read this one right here" ("Thou shal not kill").

 

[bfdd]

The Fifth Element is on Netflix. Pretty sure that movie fucking rules.

 

[TwiceOver]

Lie to me S1 and S2 Not great, but not bad. Formulaic like House

 

[lolbron]

dollhouse

eliza dushku is so sexy

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Started watching Lost.

 

[sactoking]

Watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising recently. It was actually pretty funny, though at least a passing familiarity with pen and paper RPGs is important. I especially liked the scene where the woman exploited the horribly broken 3.0 or 3.5 rules or whatever to create a character with infinite attacks and the hard-core guys that hadn't read the rules were all "WTF?"

i agree 100%. I was going to recommend watching Dollhouse. Great story line, it's a shame it was canceled before the plot could be expanded further.

 

[Lumathix]

Valhalla Rising

Centurion

(Cool thread by the way)

 

[Ichinisan]

The Fifth Element is on Netflix. Pretty sure that movie fucking rules.

Why do people like The Fifth Element? Cornball sci-fi is only good when it's fun. That movie is FAKE "fun" IMO.

 

[Kaervak]

Dead Snow. A Norwegian Nazi zombie movie.


Forgot: Zombieland. Great movie.

I liked it a lot. It's one of those movies you watch once, get blown away or bored as hell, then don't really watch again.

It had a pretty 'deep' concept where no one in the world can have another kid. I just couldn't believe they

killed Julianne Moore so early.
