Good Movies to put on Netflix?

Quick281 · 05-11-2009, 07:40 PM

As most of you know I am in Alaska for the summer. On top of that I am also working nights which means my non-existent social life will be much more boring. To make things worse, my internet is terrible but thats because I live in employee housing.

Either way, I have time to kill. I signed up for Netflix to catch up on a ton of movies I have been putting off.

I tend to like interesting documentaries, suspense, comedy, action or just odd but humorous shit. I also lined up all of Nip/Tuck, The Office, LOST. I know I like nip/tuck and the office but all the rambling of lost made we want to give it a shot. I will also enjoy watching them in a row since I can never keep up with any series. I also got some cool documentaries like Generation: Kill, Carrier, The Marines, Everest. Just random things that look mildly appealing.

Today I finally watched Pulp Fiction. Great movie. 3:10 to Yuma is next up but I may not watch it today.

So basically, I need suggestions of all sorts to put on the list. I have 100 disks on their now, but I could always use more recommendations.

P.S. Anyone know of a good online texas holdem site?

whats your name on netflix? I can add you as a friend and send you recommendations.

There's a whole bunch of motorcycle stuff you rent from netflix. Right now i am watching long way down. If you havent' watch it yet, its really good. and the first one long way around.

And i never realized i would like sci fi, but have been watching stargate SG1.

i would like to get into poker myself but need to read a bit more. The ones i hear about are fulltiltpoker.com and pokerstars.com

Some newer, some older.

Lewd/not brain-buster section:
Grandma's Boy
Dodgeball
Wedding Crashers
Borat
Beerfest
The New Guy

More serious:
Taking Chance (if they've got it)

Action:
The Dark Knight
the Bourne movies
Prince Caspian was pretty good

Cars (Pixar)
Kung Fu Panda
Oceans 11
Oceans 12
Oceans 13

That's all I've got for now.

We tend to watch more documentaries than movies thru Netflix.

Some of the good one's we've seen are:

Dust To Glory
Inside The Living Body
Two Days In April
God Grew Tired Of Us
Everest: IMAX
F**K: A Documentary
Maxed Out
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
Spellbound
Faster
Paper Clips
Billabong Odyssey
Scrabylon

Might I also suggest you rent the show "Damages". It airs on cable but season 1 is on Netflix. Awesome show, terrific acting and really is a "must see".

Actually I just looked at the CDs and it looks like there is a warehouse in Anchorage. Suppose I will find out when I drop these off in the morning.
