I just watched Delicatessen.

It's decent.

But Jeunet is pretty silly.

7/4/2010 12:39:42 AM

Basically every movie I listed was a great suggestion.

7/4/2010 11:52:42 AM

didnt read the rest of the thread, but everyone should know...ZOMBIELAND is on instant watch!!!

7/4/2010 12:01:41 PM

I just watched The Grand. It was pretty high-larious.

High Kick Girl. Laughably bad.

7/4/2010 5:56:17 PM

i'm about to start my search for a movie. i'm starting at 9 so hopefully i'll have something picked out by 10

looking for either a documentary or something light. i dunno. can't decide. AS USUAL.

7/4/2010 9:02:21 PM

i'm watching tell no one

i hope its gooood!

7/4/2010 9:40:54 PM

Funny Games is an incredible horror film.

7/4/2010 9:57:11 PM

^ seconded

7/4/2010 10:15:17 PM

that silverlight thing that qtnmfred posted queried down to a movie that ended up not being on the instant watch list (jackie brown)

7/4/2010 10:18:50 PM

Funny Games is far from incredible. It is watchable, I guess. but I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE MICHAEL HANEKE. TWICE.

7/4/2010 11:06:44 PM

TELL NO ONE

it is long (like slightly over 2 hours)

but i really enjoyed it and i'm glad i picked it.

oh but its french soooo subtitles. not so good for those of you who cannot read and watch a movie at the same time

its a crime drama, btw.

If you can't watch a film with subtitles you probably shouldn't be watching film.

(Not speaking to you, personally)

7/5/2010 12:38:38 AM

true.

but (and not in this thread, i don't think) i've definitely read ppl on tww complaining about subtitles before. and france. and all things foreign. so i figured i'd include a disclaimer.

it has kristin scott thomas in it. who is apparently in a lot of french movies. i guess she lives there or whatever though.

oh and also i have a rant

ok netflix instant watch recommends movies or whatever but its always recommending me these documentaries and they always have like 4 or 5 stars. i mean some are good but this one, the end of poverty, seems like one of those documentaries that people who are dumb as shit find SOooOOooOOO profound. i mean, i haven't watched it obviously so maybe it is. but description:

Quote :

"Exploring the history of poverty in developing countries, filmmaker Philippe Diaz contends that today's economic inequities arose as a result of colonization, military conquest and slavery, with wealthier countries seizing the resources of the poor. Narrated by Martin Sheen, this absorbing documentary includes interviews with numerous historians, economists and sociologists who shed light on the ongoing conditions that contribute to poverty."

i mean really? do people seriously not already know this?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Just watched it last night. A foreign mystery movie. So this means subtitles. A long movie but I liked it.

7/7/2010 1:09:42 PM

^^ Out of sight, out of mind.

7/7/2010 1:10:43 PM

^^ i was going to see if anyone here had seen that. we just added it to the queue, but haven't watched it yet.

we are having a horror/scary movie night tonight, so i need some suggestions...
we have The Orphanage on the queue already. any thoughts on that?

suggest away.

7/9/2010 6:38:20 PM

tww, pullin through in the clutch.

7/9/2010 9:46:44 PM

Under Suspicion.

7/9/2010 10:06:53 PM

Tell No One

(not a horror movie or scary though. just a suspense/crime drama)

[Edited on July 9, 2010 at 10:08 PM. Reason : .]

7/9/2010 10:08:03 PM

I usually can't do subtitled movies but City of God is next on my Blu-ray queue.

7/9/2010 10:09:56 PM

city of god is one of my favs

7/9/2010 10:10:25 PM

Becket



Peter O'Toole is the fucking man

7/10/2010 1:18:58 PM

i second The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. cant wait for the next one to come out

7/10/2010 5:47:43 PM

The Orphanage is not very good.

Watch House of the Devil.

Loved the Orphanage. Not your typical horror movie, more of a suspense flick.

7/10/2010 5:51:31 PM

yeah, we definitely enjoyed it as well. like you said, more of a suspense flick than a horror film.

7/10/2010 6:09:31 PM

i thought it was AWESOME

comedies are usually the only movies i can't watch over and over.
dramas, horrors, and suspense movies dont really have that much repeatablity for me.

the orphanage did

7/10/2010 6:24:05 PM

i'm about to watch after innocence

a documentary about the implications of DNA testing in the judicial system and what happens to innocent people who have been locked up for years and years upon release. i shall report back on whether it is worth the watch!

i was GOING to watch au revoir les enfants but...i think i'm too tired for something that isn't a documentary. this is much shorter.

7/11/2010 9:33:36 PM

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

I am so 100% serious about this.

[Edited on July 11, 2010 at 11:07 PM. Reason : happy to see I'm not the first to say so, too!]

7/11/2010 11:06:04 PM

^watched meatballs last night. It was no Up or Wall-e, but a lot better than I was expecting.

7/11/2010 11:08:04 PM

^^^ I approve.

7/11/2010 11:08:48 PM

^^I, too, was surprised how good that movie was.

I was expecting something very mediocre... but then I heard some of the voice actors. Also it started being genuinely funny and didn't resort to using dreamworks-style childish humor.

[Edited on July 11, 2010 at 11:16 PM. Reason : .]

I wish I had a friend like khcadwal who would sit and watch random netflix movies with me...



oh wait! evan does.

7/12/2010 1:21:15 AM

AFTER INNOCENCE

everyone should be forced to watch this.

7/13/2010 1:48:51 AM

Quote :

" It was no Up"

Steve the monkey in Cloudy is infinitely funnier than Dug and the talking dogs in Up.

The "Fight The Power" cat internet video they watch for three hours was amazing.

The reference to the movie "Welcome to Mooseport" was amazing.

God it's such a good movie.

<3 you MrsCake.

i need to rewatch cloudy

i only have seen it on an airplane on the way to vietnam so i was a) in and out of consciousness and b) when i was awake totally cracked out

7/13/2010 1:55:28 AM

now i just finished dear zachary

haha, what

7/13/2010 3:39:59 AM

guess I'll watch cloudy with a chance of meatballs.

7/13/2010 9:00:11 PM

YEAH DO THAT

7/13/2010 9:21:05 PM

I just watched After Innocence and I loved it. Anyone interested in the issue of capital punishment should definitely give it a chance.

7/14/2010 12:07:51 AM

^ i am glad someone else watched it!

i watched that and dear zachary last night. i was emotionally spent haha

^^^^ oh i have issues concentrating on things. documentaries (though boring to other people) usually interest me 100% of the time. just like i can focus more on reading news stories and other non-fiction things more than fiction i guess i can focus better on documentaries than on a made up plot??

i dunno i am a weirdo.

7/14/2010 12:11:06 AM

Dear Zachary took a LOT out of me. I pretty much cried the entire time from beginning to end. I want to watch it again but I'm going to need to prepare myself with a pint of some really good ice cream and a new box of Kleenex (I'm almost done with a box already due to a cold )

7/14/2010 12:13:39 AM

^^i am the EXACT same way.


right now im watching x files episodes. somebody give me their favs

7/14/2010 11:23:48 AM

ohhh i want to start watching the xfiles. i haven't watched any in a long time and definitely have never gone through the series starting from the beginning.

i'm about to watch taxi driver.

7/15/2010 9:29:12 PM

zorro the gay blade

7/15/2010 9:29:50 PM

i'm too sleepy for taxi driver. so i stopped that and am watching jaws instead

lololol

7/15/2010 9:34:35 PM

set em up
