Looking through the added movies I have two to at least sort of recommend. Point and Shoot is a really much better than I was expecting documentary about a American journalist that decided to join the Libyan rebels. The thing that makes the movie kind of work for me is just that the subject is sort of an idiot and the movie does not sugar coat this and the whole thing is just sort of fascinating as a result. Also a movie I saw at Sundance this year, Advantageous is an interesting scifi movie that has some major problems but I feel picks up enough steam in the last act to make it worst watching. The dialogue is very stiff and some of the actors really dont' help this but it gets dark in a way that I sort of like.

But the last thing I want to watch from a Jenji Kohan joint is another upper class white person coming in to lower class situations and doing things "better", or whatever the gently caress she's having Piper do in season 4. Nothing to add much but that I'm in full agreement (besides the fact I never saw Weeds). One of the reasons I liked Season 3 was because they at least seemed to mostly isolate Piper from everyone else into her own little world.

Is there a grease monkey plug-in or something that makes this new Netflix not so lovely? Any time I click "continue watching" it plays one episode and makes me return back to the homepage to watch the next, instead of just being a playlist. Maybe it's one of my existing plug-ins interfering?

Extraterrestrial was a big ol' pile of cliches but I was entertained. The last 15-20 minutes of it though were a mostly pleasant surprise.

I have had Netflix get weird about remembering which episode I'm on though, if, say, I re-watch an older episode and then watch a couple new ones, it often tries to make me watch the oldest one I'd watched, when I come back alter. Not a huge deal but still a pain sometimes.

I feel y'all disappointed in TRANS4MERS on Netflix should watch this first to increase your appreciation of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRmRMnVULs8 Then next time you watch it you can even shout "OREO-BOT NOOOOO" at the appropriate time https://vine.co/tags/oreobot

The wife and I have our niece and nephew (7 and 9) coming over for a sleepover tomorrow night, and we're looking for something nostalgic to stream. The last couple times they were over we watched The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Everythign we've though of so far (Princess Bride, Back To The Future, Jurassic Park...) isn't available on Amazon or Netflix (for free, at least). Any good suggestions?

Just a suggestion, but I think it's worth shelling out $3 to stream Jurassic Park, especially if they haven't seen it and double especially if they've seen Jurassic World.

The main reason I'm balking at paying the $3 for Jurassic Park is the 7 year old is kid of a wuss when it comes to movies. He said Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal both had scary parts, but also said the same thing about Muppets From Space and I honestly can't figure out why. I mean, at that point, any movie becomes too scary. Roger Rabbit has Judge Doom. Goonies has scary parts. Princess Bride has thr ROUSs. Similarly for Back To The Future, I'm worried their mom would flip out about the sex stuff. She just recently watched Grease with them and was "mortified at the content". The Terminator and The Fifth Element? What the gently caress is wrong with you? Those are joke suggestions, right?

I had a good childhood, in which my mom didn't want me to see any war movies or even Power Rangers because of violence, and my dad was like "Yo you seen Predator 1 and 2? Let's watch Predator 1 & 2."

The more I think about it, I saw movies like that at that age and turned out okay. I saw Aliens when it first hit home video when I was 9 and was fine, other than a few scary nights. But I also was somewhat used to watching "adult" movies by then. My in-law's kids haven't seen anything beyond every computer generated cartoon made in the past 10 years, so to jump in with two feet into The Terminator (or even Jurassic Park) would be insane. I mean, they're not my kids, and I don't want to be the one to expose them to things their parents don't want them to see, even if it does make my "the cool uncle" in the long run. Now my BROTHER'S kids (6 and 10), I'd watch whatever with them, because my brother has already shown them Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Big Trouble In Little China, Holy Grail, etc...and they love them.

There's James and the Giant Peach, The Rescuers Down Under, Jumanji, Fern Gully, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Nightmare Before Christmas. If you want something new, Boxtrolls is pretty good.

I remember James and the Giant Peach having some loving intense sequences from seeing it in the cinema as a little kid. This is good though. Roald Dahl firmly believed in terrifying the poo poo out of your kids.

Animation never ages.

I remember it being scary as a kid. wa27 fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jul 9, 2015 |

Of course that movie turned out to be the first Friday the 13th. This was not the first or last time my parents did this. Thanks Mom and Dad (I still can't sleep with open curtains because of watching Salem's Lot at 6).

My childhood was full of inappropriate movies of my dad let me watch: a fun action/survival movie (Rambo); a funny movie about golfing (Caddyshack); a thriller about people on a rafting trip (Deliverance). These were all before I was 10. Disney has quite a few of their classics on Netflix. Someone mentioned Goosebumps is on Amazon, but the much better and more kid-friendly Are You Afraid of the Dark? is on Amazon. There are lot of great summer movies that aren't traumatizing: Heavyweights, Camp Nowhere, The Sandlot. They may cost $3 on amazon, but they pack a huge nostalgia punch for everyone I know.
