Netflix Streaming - Place your 4* & 5* movies here

I like foreign films. Saw these recently and they are great.

District 9 - action packed, great story line. Directed by a South African who migrated to Canada. The only movie he has ever made. In English.
Let The Right One - Interesting vampire story between two 12-year old (of course one 12-yo has been 12 many, many times ). Has some funny scenes. In Swedish.
Ben X - Great performances. About an autistic kid being bullied and how he had his revenge. In Danish.

Non-foreign film but worth mentioning.

The Merry Gentleman - directorial debut by Michael Keaton. Great character development. In English of course.
Little Miss Sunshine. Most of you may have heard of it already so I don't need to elaborate.

Watched District 9 this morning. Did not really like it, but could not turn it off. How is that? Would not watch again. Interesting story line though.

Among a few filmmakers I love Jack Tatti work, so simple so fresh and so funny, They are french but with very dialoge.

Netflix has three of his movies
Playtime
(Tempo di divertimento)

M. Hulot's Holiday
(Les Vacances de M. Hulot)

And my favorite out of this three
Mon Oncle
(My Uncle)

And one from Win Wenders, one of the most amazing directors of all times
Buena Vista Social Club
The rest of his work is only on DVD

I also enjoy a "animated" movie call
Captain ski and the world of tomorrow

Because is very innovative in terms of film development

I also have a many other favorites but they are only on DVD so I will not mention them here

Some more from a French director call Luc Besson

He has made many great films like "the professional" (Leon) but the only ones available are.

The Fifth Element

La Femme Nikita

The Big Blue (Le grand bleu)

All of them in English for easy viewing

Great fun. Highly recommended.

My Life as a Dog

Very enjoyable.

Saw that one on the big screen when it came out.
Time to watch it again.

I usually try to catch the latest Roman Porn extravaganza that is Spartacus. Either Blood and Sand or Gods of the Arena.

Watching Baja 1000 Classic right now, with Malcolm Smith in it.

This films from Akira Kurosawa are cinematographic legends

Seven Samurai
(Shichinin no samurai)

Rashomon
(Rashômon)

Yojimbo
(Yojimbo the Bodyguard)

Sanjuro (Tsubaki Sanjûrô)

Kagemusha (The Shadow Warrior)

Hidden Fortress (Kakushi-toride no san-akunin)

NetFlix has a few other from him, But I have never see them so I can not really recommend them.

Le Corbeau

Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1943. Subtitled.

Thanks, N&V! Watched it last night on your rec. Darned good for a directorial debut. I thought the grandfather was great. The whole thing was perhaps a bit too obviously Wes Anderson influenced, but a good watch nevertheless. Going to have to read the book, now...

"Paint by Numbers" Remakes are always kind of lame and this one was no exception, So sad the first one was such a cool movie

Okay if you don't call that a remake, I don't know what is, well except for the "Wax On, wax Off" is pretty much the same thing, yes different country and ethnics but the plot is pretty much the same number by number.

I just found this movie call..

Law Abiding Citizen is kind of a police thriller but also very twisted and fun to watch

Okay another great miniseries i just found, Very suspenseful and full of intrigue, Compose of five episodes made by the BBC

The Last Enemy

TRAILER PARK BOYS SEASONS 1-5 ARE STREAMING NOW

Groovy thread. Our DVD player is not currently speaking to the surround sound/audio doohickey, and we've been running really low on streaming content.

Warning: Content may included repeated movies, because I didn't read this entire thread. Also, I am a girl, so expect some chick choices. In no particular order...

The Big Lebowski
March of the Penguins
Best In Show
Friday
Boys Don't Cry
Full Metal Jacket
Au Revoir Les Enfants
Sleepers
Steel Magnolias
Babies
Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil
Dangerous Liaisons
Fierce People
The Right Stuff
Sunshine Cleaning
Julie & Julia
Blazing Saddles
Strange Brew
The September Issue
Vanity Fair
A Fish Called Wanda

Blah blah blah...

PS - UP is the most emotionally draining movie I have ever seen. :)

Not on instant, but Pink Floyd: The Wall, under the appropriate mind altering influences, trumps UP
