anyone on netflix?

[jabumbo]

i just signed back on, and i know you can add people and it gives you reccomendations from them...

i think i put my enjoyment of classics too high though. most of my reccomendations are all things like the godfather, the great escape, or dr strangelove. not that they are bad films, but i would like more of a variety...


anybody have a good suggestion? something lesser known is preferred, since i can get the basics anywhere

Have you seen Spartacus? Seriously, watch that shit. It's amazing.

I mostly get TV shows on netflix because when I get movies they sit for too long before I feel like watching them. I've been unhappy with my recent deliveries because I failed to notice that there was a long wait or very long wait for most of what's in my top 10.

If you saw Hoop Dreams and liked it in the theater, get it and listen to one or both of the commentaries. If you never saw the movie, what are you waiting for? I thought Murderball was okay and I was disappointed in the Deep Throat documentary. If you liked Capturing the Friedmans (I did not) get the DVD and see the extras because the movie left out some key info. Things never added up with the movie itself and the extras were far more disturbing.

Best Boy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078850/). (not buy :rolleyes: )

This is one of the finest documentaries ever filmed. Yet very few people have actually seen it. A masterpiece on on so many levels it would be an injustice to use this medium to explain the film.

It will stick with you.

I'm on the Blockbuster by mail system, they won out because of the 2 free new releases I can drive down and pick up at the local store each month.

Plus now I'm getting into early TV shows, the original Superman w/ George Reeves and the first year of Star Trek. (y)

Go with the best.

Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky, Herzog, Kurosawa, Welles, Ozu, Griffith, Stroheim, Lang and so on.
This is what I meant when I said in the other thread that I don't usually like the "best" movies.

For instance, what one Bergman movie should I see? What Griffith movie?
