Megathread The Netflix Mega-thread vs Netflix Originals Suck

^^okay, I'll just walk down the street to your house...
jk, but no really, I've only seen Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction and already he's my favorite director. I've got Reservoir Dogs lined up next in my q.
 
These two merit mentioning:

Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father


This documentary is a heart-wrencher. It will take you from elated to devastated, and leave you in awe of the strength of good people.


Dogtooth: Oscar-nominated Greek film that takes the idea of home schooling to the extreme.

^Eh, I just picked an image from what was available during an image search that I thought might get people to try it who otherwise wouldn't. I kind of see what you mean, though, so I removed the picture. I'm replacing it with a different one.

EDIT: speaking of spoilers, don't read any of the Netflix customer reviews of "Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father". The less you know the more affecting it will be, and a few of them mention way too much.
 
A huge chunk of the Criterion collection is available to stream on Netflix, if you are feeling like getting... cultured.
 
I watched "Mishima: a life in 4 chapters" the other day...

and while nothing at all like its cover, aside from being emphatically japanese, it was very good. I went into the film knowing only that Mishima was the architect of a failed coup in the 70s and also was a dramatist—an interesting combo.

Philip glass did the music, its directed by the guy who did the screenplays for taxi driver and raging bull. It jumps back and forth between stylized/theatrical depictions of scenes from mishima's fiction, and his last day when he commits suicide.
 
^ Yukio Mishima? He wrote a damn good book: The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea. I know he's written others but that's all I've read by him.

/Talking about books in the movie thread.
 
All 3 seasons of Damages is on instant. A REALLY underrated series. The 4th season is currently airing but I don't get DirecTV so I have to wait for it to come out on DVD. :(

Right now I am re-watching skins series one with my sister. I wish they would get more seasons on netflix of skins though :\
 
I didn't realize that movies and TV that are on Netflix Instant may only be there for a short period of time.

I had wanted to see the movie Up, which used to definitely be available to watch instantly, but it's now just for DVD/Blueray. The same thing with the TV show Dexter, which I had wanted to start watching sometime soon, but I guess I'll have to go through the mail to see it. :\
 
^ Yeah, you gotta jump on the stuff you want to see pretty quick. I think they usually leave the high demand (aka high cost for them) stuff up on instant for ~2/3 weeks.
