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?

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?

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:A lot of goons had hosed up childhoods and watched stuff like Alien at age 8 and think that's normal and healthy. 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.

UPDATE: Apparently, my niece and nephew have seen more than I expected, so we're watching The Last Unicorn (I haven't seen it in 30 years, but my wife loves it), with a possibility of watching The Neverending Story tomorrow. They reacted *violently* to the prospect of watching Jurassic Park, as if I suggested shooting their dogs in the face. They are *terrified* of watching it.

I haven't organized my Netflix instant queue in a while, so I went in to do it today and the drag/drop interface is loving terrible. Is there a better way to do it?

Shageletic posted:So is the second season of Better Call Saul on Demand? Its not on Hulu, and I have AMC and wanted to catch up on the current season. If it helps, I have TWC. Season 2 is currently airing and it's 4 episodes in, so yes, it should probably be on demand.

Randomly checked out The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young last night on Netflix, and really loved it. It's a documentary about a somewhat eccentric runner who created a "marathon" through the backwoods of Tennessee that only 10 people have finished in 25 years. Highly recommend for lovers of quirky documentaries.

GonSmithe posted:Yeah I finished it last night and the lawyer guy was the only person who came off as not a complete piece of poo poo. Are you kidding me? The lawyer came off to me as the loving creepiest of the bunch because he is still ALL loving IN on this cult leader. I agree that while I enjoyed the show, I left with a lot of questions, the main one being that I didn't get a good sense of what drew people fanatically to Bhagwan. I do understand why, dramatically on the show, they delayed showing him speak until after Sheela left. The show makes it seem like he didn't start speaking publicly until after that, but in reality he started about a year before that. I also wanted more info about where all the money came from.

Field Mousepad posted:I thought Hulu added shows a week after they aired but there's no s2 up yet. Did they change that or am I remembering that wrong? Anything from FX goes up months after the season airs, sometimes just before the next season starts.

I highly recommend the first 20 minutes of Extraordinary: The Stan Romanek Story if you want to see literally the most laughably fake "evidence" of aliens you've ever seen. I literally googled after 20 minutes because I thought it was actually a parody and not a real documentary. We turned it off once the personal interviews started, because my googling had revealed the shocking twist ending: He was convicted of posession of a ridiculous amount of child pornography, which he claims was planted by aliens/the government. He also has admitted he faked "some" of his videos and photos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Snck4fMP_A

How has Netflix existed this long without the ability to filter or sort your queue, other than painstakingly by hand?

Jesus, The Haunting of Hill House not only failed to stick the landing, it broke both legs and poo poo its pants as it did. The preceding 9.5 episodes were great, though.

veni veni veni posted:What exactly did you guys hate about the ending so much? It's seemed really upbeat and chipper for the prospect of spending eternity as a spirit being devoured by a sentient house. It reminded me almost exactly of the last episode of S1 of American Horror Story. It was also a turn-off how romantically the incredibly selfish acts of the Dudleys are portrayed. I'm also definitely not one of those people who needs everything explained in a conclusion, but I had some small issues with the internal logic of the show by the end. I was never sure how the ghosts "worked", for lack of a better term. Some ghosts were benign, some were malicious. Some could leave the house, some couldn't. And while I'm fine with the actual motivations and history of the house itself being shrouded in mystery, there were a LOT of "Wait, why did he say that/do that? How does he know that?" moments with Timothy Hutton in the last two episode that were never expanded on whatsoever. That said, The Hauting of Hill House is still more than worth spending 10 hours on, and my disappointment in the finale in no way ruined the show as a whole.

Frog Act posted:I watched Annihilation after reading everyone in this thread discuss it, having never heard of it before that, and I was pretty disappointed. It felt like an earnest attempt at making a good movie that just fell flat and was borderline nonsensical at time, and even though it was mostly explained, I still didn't find the explanations compelling and the twist at the end was obvious from a mile away, and felt tacked on Um...Annihilation didn't have a twist...

Frog Act posted:also the extremely short shot at the end where both of their eyes change color to indicate neither of them are "them", which was confusing since if Natalie Portman's character could tell she had been refracted just by looking at a drop of her blood under a microscope, surely the super secret mega scientists figured out she was a refraction or whatever, but it is heavily implied they did not during the questioning and last scene I guess I just don’t see how it’s “a twist”, “lazy” or “predictable” when it’s telegraphed throughout the entire movie? Like, it’s one of the fundamental core themes of the movie. What’s you’re mentioning is in now way supposed to be a “gotcha” moment.
