I just want to say that I saw Crash over the weekend and think it's one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time!

[PG-rated]

You should put this over in the TV and Movies forum; I bet you'd get a lot more responses.
(I'm not a Netflix member, so I can't play.)

[PinkMartini]

I just want to say that I saw Crash over the weekend and think it's one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time!

I couldn't agree more! I saw it in the theatre when it first came out & absolutely loved the movie. I lived in L.A. for awhile and that movie IS what it's like there. I've heard a few people say the movie was too 'in your face' and disturbing, but they've never lived there before, so to them, it might be a little too disturbing...

ETA: I just sent back Gone With The Wind (what a great movie!!!!), and currently have Kelly Clarkson: Behind Hazel Eyes.

[Katy]

Okay, I just broke down and joined (they sent me a 10 disk freebie package, so I thought it was worth it). I have ten movies in my que. My top two should ship later today (it's after midnight) - well, except that Wedding Crashers has a "short wait" instead of a "now" listing.

I have questions about the que though and I can't seem to find a key or legend...what does the checkable box under the red X mean? And what's the triangle thing-a-ma-gig next to that box? Are these things I should be checking?

Anything else I need to know about Netflix?

[numberlady]

I have questions about the que though and I can't seem to find a key or legend...what does the checkable box under the red X mean?
This is to delete the movie from your cue.
And what's the triangle thing-a-ma-gig next to that box? Are these things I should be checking?
This moves the movie up your list towards the top of your list.

I got Netflix a couple months ago and have absolutely loved it. We might not really be getting our money's worth since we are lucky to watch 1 movie a week, but the convenience factor is so high. The only problem lately is that the turn around has been so slow. I'm not sure if its them or the post office, hopefully it will get back on track.

I have 103 movies in my cue right now. Here are the top 25
Out Now:
Seabiscuit
The Polar Express

Que:
Four Brothers
Madagascar
The Stepford Wives
Man on Fire
Remember the Titans
The Basketball Diaries
8 Mile
50 First Dates
Traffic
Chicago
Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Twelve
The Manchurian Candidate
Spanglish
Wedding Crashers
The Notebook
Moulin Rouge
Finding Neverland
The Pianist
Christmas with the Kranks
Hotel Rwanda
Monster's Ball
Raising Helen
Cheaper by the Dozen
Maid in Manhattan

[sublime311]

The only problem lately is that the turn around has been so slow. I'm not sure if its them or the post office, hopefully it will get back on track.

I've been impressed with the speed over the holidays - I've still had a 1 day turn around on movies - so if I mail one back today, I would get a new one by Thursday (Friday at the VERY latest). I think it's because there's a center so close to us (in Phoenix).

[Katy]

woohoo! I have Wedding Crashers and Crash on their way to me!! Can't wait!

[IrisHope]

DH and I are really into Netflix. What movies have you LOVED? I need suggestions!

We love everything so don't be shy!

[jimmysgirl424]

I'll post some obvious ones that you have most likely already seen:

Ray

The Island

Stealth

Collateral

The Terminal



For some reason I'm drawing a blank here. DH and I are big movie fans. I think the problem is we've seen so many movies recently.

I will admit to being cheesy and say that strictly for fun, DH and I both liked:

The Dukes of Hazzard

House of Wax



**slinks away in shame** :o

[ignutzz]

I've been renting TV seasons for shows like Veronica Mars, Arrested Development and Firefly. Next on that list is Wonderfalls.

For movies it's been all the typical new releases and the cheesy chick flicks I know DH will never watch with me (he's not home on Sat. so I can watch without any eye rolling on his part). But I've also been renting older classics like Easy Rider, Raging Bull, Taxi, Monty Python and Marx Brothers. I just discovered they have the old PBS Anne of Green Gables series so that's in the queue too. :P

[mom_to_zoe]

Some less-known films that I have loved recently include:

Nowhere In Africa -- best foreign film (German) winner from a few years about a German Jewish family who flees to Africa during WWII
L'auberge espangnole -- French student spends semester in Barcelona with roommates from all over Europe
Triplets of Belleville -- bizarre animated feature about kidnapped Tour de France competitor

Also, did you see "Crash" yet? Best movie I've seen this year.

[IrisHope]

Crash was incredible!!

[IrisHope]

Goodbye Lenin was a great foreign film

In East Germany in 1989, Alex Kerner's (Daniel Bruhl) mother Christiane (Katrin Sass) falls into a coma just as the Berlin Wall is about to come down. Eight months later, she wakes up, but her heart is too weak to withstand any great shock. So Alex goes to great (and often hysterical) lengths to keep the truth about her country's reform a secret. This widely praised, Golden Globe-nominated comedy played in festivals around the world.

[IrisHope]

Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Usual Suspects are on their way to me. I'll let you know what I thought of it.

Anyone else?

[sublime311]

Junebug and In Her Shoes were REALLY great!

ETA: Checked my recent returns to add these: Creepy but good, The Machinist. I also really liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith - I love sarcasm and dry humor, so it was good for me. And Maria Full of Grace recently received a 5 star rating from me.

[Asha]

We just started Netflix, so I don't have a lot on my list, but I liked...

Out of Africa
Supersize Me
Ray

IrisHope, do you know they have a reccomendations option? You just have to rate a bunch of movies that you have already seen, and they will suggest movies based on your ratings.

[Asha]

Crash was incredible!!

ita!!!

[IrisHope]

Maria Full of Grace was fantastic!

Rebj, yes, their reco's are pretty good!

[hockeybrat]

Maria Full of Grace was a great movie.

Iris, have you seen Hotel Rwanda?

[PinkMartini]

Ooooh I need some recommendations, so I thought I'd 'bump' this post up with my current queue list ;)

t3h_wookiee

Yay! A fellow fan of Samarai movies! I've seen every Samurai movie Mifune is in. Yojimbo is great!

I love all the Once Upon A Time in China movies and Kurosawa is excellent. In fact, any post-WWII Japanese movies are good. I really recommend "High and Low."

Do you like John Woo movies?

Maria Full of Grace was a great movie.

Iris, have you seen Hotel Rwanda?

Yes, loved Hotel Rwanda. Such a travesty.

I saw Rabbit-Proof Fence and The Usual Suspects.

Rabbit-Proof Fence was a good movie but very slow moving. DH could barely contain himself! I had to yell at him three times to shut up :)

Australia's aboriginal integration program of the 1930s broke countless hearts -- among them, those of young Molly (Evelyn Sampi), Gracie (Laura Monaghan) and Daisy (Tiana Sansbury), who were torn from their families and placed in an abusive orphanage. Without food or water, the girls resolve to make the 1,500-mile trek home. Meanwhile, a well-intentioned tracker is trying to return the girls to the authorities.

The Usual Suspects was pretty good.

[laura]

[IrisHope]

Great list, thanks Laura!

Laura, I think I might be the only one in the world that didn't care for the constant gardner. Well, my DVD player started acting crazy so I couldn't finish the movie but I just dind't like it too much. Tell me what you think!

[Asha]

Laura, I think I might be the only one in the world that didn't care for the constant gardner.

nope, you're not the only one. i was disappointed by it.

I got Out of Africa last week after seeing Three Day of the Condor and The Sting recently. (I'm on a Robert Redford kick right now.)

One thing I've noticed about Netflix: their new release list is TERRIBLE!! DH and I always check Blockbuster's list first, then go back and update our netflix qeue.

[maggieb]

DH and I are trying to watch all the seasons of the Sopranos right now befire Season 6 starts on Sunday. Of course, Netflix is late in sending us Season Three, Disc 4, so there's no way we're going to catch up before Sunday. Thank goodness for Tivo. Also on our list are:

-Junebug
-Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
-Hustle and Flow
-Me and You and Everyone We Know
-Rize

We just watched "The Squid and the Whale" as our first Netflix film. I liked it, but didn't love it. Good writing, though.

[Rosebud]

Just some thoughts on some of the Netflix movies we've watched so far:

In Her Shoes- I thought it was okay, but my DH hated it.
Transamerica - A little slow, but a good performance by Felicity Huffman. I'm not sure I'd really recommend it, though.
Wallace and Grommit- Really, really cute. Very sweet story, great animation. I definitely recommend it, whether you have kids or not.
The Family Stone - HATED it. Worst movie I've seen in quite a while. Terrible character motivation/development, stupid ending, implausible from start to finish.
Howl's Moving Castle - I liked it well enough. Not as good as "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away," but if you like Miyazaki, you'll like this.
The Notebook - This wouldn't normally be my kind of movie, but I thought they did a very good job with it. It was definitely emotional.
Pride and Prejudice - Probably my favorite of the Netflix movies we've watched so far. Really good! I'm a big fan of the Colin Firth BBC version, but this was quite good as well.
Maria Full of Grace - Interesting. It definitely had some faults (like the ending) but I liked it overall.

Next up, we're watching Duma tonight.

Sinderstorm, thanks for the reminder that Entourage is finally out on DVD. It's been so long that I checked my list that I forgot. It has now officially been bumped up!

[Rosebud]

Just bumping this thread up again and adding some thoughts on Netflix rentals we've seen lately.

Elizabethtown- Wow, I love Cameron Crowe, but this was a really bad movie! It just wasn't interesting at all and both Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst were highly annoying in their roles. It made me want to go re-watch Almost Famous and remember when Crowe was doing really good work. *sigh*
Wimbledon- Two Kirsten Dunst movies in a row was more than I could handle. This movie really wouldn't be all that bad if she wasn't in it!
Capturing the Friedmans- Intense and sad documentary, but really interesting. My DH and I ended up having different opinions as to what we thought happened & had a good debate about it.
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room- Excellent, excellent movie that will make you furious. But I highly recommend it. This is one of the best films we've rented from Netflix.
Lady in the Water- Oh Lord... the worst!! This movie is so bad, I really don't even have words for it. Thank goodness we didn't pay money to see it in a theatre, but I'm bummed to have been subjected to it on video.
Before Sunrise- The sequel to Before Sunset. Interesting if you liked the first one.
Hustle & Flow- Really enjoyed it! This is a totally entertaining movie, great performances, smart & compelling story.

Here's what's at the top of our list currently:

The Darjeeling Limited
Eastern Promises
In the Valley of Elah
The Assassination of Jesse James
Into the Wild

A few movies we've rented recently:

Waitress- Liked it. Didn't love it, but I liked it. It's a sweet story, perhaps not worthy of all the hype surrounding it, but a nice film. It's not a chick thing, either. My DH liked it, too.
God Grew Tired of Us- Amazing and moving documentary that I highly recommend. I thought it would be a downer, but it wasn't at all. I found it really inspiring, actually.
300- Hated it. Lots of yelling and annoying camera work. IMO, best suited to 13 year old boys. Sorry!
La Vie en Rose- Good, but a little slow for a rental, for me. I think I would have enjoyed this more in the theatre. Great performances, though. It's worth renting.
