Cinema Paradiso is on Netflix and terrific if you haven't gotten around to seeing it yet.

david_a posted:Lost Soul was pretty cool and, like everyone said, I don't think you need to have seen The Island of Dr Moreau to enjoy it (I was actually kind of surprised by how little of the movie they showed). Are there other documentaries about terrible movies worth watching (not necessarily on Netflix)? I've seen Best Worst Movie too. I just watched Lost Soul last night and really dug it. The closest documentary I can think of would be Lost in La Mancha about Terry Gilliams failed attempt to get a Don Quixote movie made. Also there is Overnight about Troy Duffy (Boondock Saints) flaming out of Hollywood. I don't think either are streaming anywhere right now, though they have been on Netflix in the past. e: forgot this one, but Jodorowsky's Dune is in that same vein I'd love some other suggestions too Enos Cabell fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Aug 11, 2015 |

Breakin' and Breakin' 2 are both awesome, but everyone needs to see Wild Style. It's the original hip-hop/graffiti/break dancing movie with mostly non-actors. It's like a time capsule back to early 80s not-so-safe NYC. In one scene they hired a couple of dudes that were hanging around to play muggers, and the guys pulled out their own sawed-off shotgun to use. e: can't check now, but it was on Netflix as of a few weeks ago

I binged through Narcos in a few days, and need to see more of Padilha's work now. Elite Squad: Enemy Within is on Netflix, but Elite Squad isn't. Can I watch Enemy Within first, or should I wait and track down Elite Squad?

Franchescanado posted:That's another huge problem with Hulu Plus: Selective content depending on device. Wow, really? I was just about to sign up for Hulu Plus for the Criterion stuff, but 100% of my viewing would be through either ps3 or xbox in my living room. Thanks for saving me the money.

Thanks to whoever recommended Electric Boogaloo earlier. It was great, and it blows my mind how many of their films I watched growing up. It also reminded me that Invaders from Mars is a movie that exists. Some of the scenes in that were pretty freaky to a 10 year old (teacher swallowing the frog). Also, Catherine Mary Stewart still looks amazing.

Tales from the Darkside is a fun anthology series. And while it's not an anthology, Friday the 13th: The Series scratches that same itch pretty well for me.

pahuyuth posted:This. This one right here, S01E4 Mummy Daddy, was the poo poo. Saw it when it aired and as a 14 year old I laughed like a motherfucker. Mummy Daddy is one of the best standalone episodes of any show ever. I think it's the only VHS tape of recorded television that is still around at my parents house, because it still gets watched every couple of years.

Not a movie, but the show Narcos is excellent and sounds like it would be right up your alley.

fliptophead posted:Just started watching Mr Robot and I'm hooked. This show is amazingly good. (S1 on Amazon Prime and hoping they chuck S2 up as well). Rami Malek does a crazy good job in the lead - the corridor scene in Steel Mountain was just devastating. I think it loses steam in the last third of season 1, but was still enjoyable. Great cinematography. Hearing that s2 might not be as good, but I haven't watched any yet.

Watched Raiders! the other day on Netflix, and it was great. It's a documentary about a group of 11 year olds that spent 9 years creating a shot for shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Jerk McJerkface posted:Looking for a good guys outsmart light hearted show along the lines of Burn Notice or Leverage, nothing super grim day, but an entertaining hour long show to was along with all the half hour comedies we are streaming. Anyone recommend something? Old and cheesy, but MacGyver is on Netflix and pretty much in that same vein.

Jack Gladney posted:Is there a streaming device where amazon prime doesn't have a terrible interface? I watch it through my blu player now, and it's so clunky and hard to navigate that it's making me not want to watch it. If I get a set-top box like a roku or a fire, will it be easier to navigate p, or is that just what prime looks like? It's terrible on 360/ps3/ps4 and PC too.

In probably the most quintessentially early 90s video store trip ever, some friends and I rented Lawnmower Man and Toys for the same night. Everyone agreed that Toys was by far the more disturbing of the two.

precision posted:One of my ex's was in Blood and Donuts (she's the very first person you see, I think? She gets killed in the opening) and Cronenberg had signed her copy of the VHS tape, which she then gave to me, which I then lost. For some reason Blood and Donuts is one of my 73 year old father's favorite movies of all time, and until now I have never heard anyone else ever mention it. I also had no idea there was a Cronenberg connection. Thanks to the thread, I rewatched History of Violence for the first time in like a decade this afternoon. Forgot just how drat good it was.

That was probably it, I only just got Hulu and Fargo was the first series I watched. Was pretty bummed when I finished (the excellent) season 1 and didn't have s2 to follow it up.

Sarchasm posted:Iron Fist sounds like a real downer, but if you want another Marvel TV show to take its place I highly recommend Legion. The first six(ish?) episodes are available on Hulu with more added as they air. It's about David Haller, who is a mutant telepath with multiple personality disorder and who is secretly Charles Xavier's son. Every episode is a fun little mind gently caress and it's one of the best-looking TV shows going. Don't read that spoiler if you haven't read the comics. It's something that hasn't been mentioned in the show yet

drunken officeparty posted:I've never seen any of them. Are they actually good? Or at least on par with the median Jason Statham movie? They are all good to great, and the worst of the series was directed by John Woo and is at least as good as anything Jason Statham has been in. I would argue that it's the best modern action franchise, by a fair margin.
