Now, since I was nice enough and bored enough to do this, you will watch every single movie on this list and report back here with a short 200 word essay on each film.

You have some contradicting choices.
Dale and Tucker vs. Evil is one of those "I can't keep watching this shit" movies
But Wristcutters: A love story, was deeply touching and heartwarming. Loved that movie.

Will check out some others on your list.


My recommendations would be
The Hunter
(Kasper Carr) Street theif is pretty good
The Red Violin

 

[rainman36]

cocaine cowboys

 

[CSI Stickyicky]

Forks Over Knives

 

[D3monic]

Watching Jericho right now. Good show.

Startgate SG1, atlantas, universe. Will get you through like 6 months worth of entertainment.
Supernatural
Lord of War (nick cage)
Jet Li movies... all of them. Unleashed, the one, romeo must die being good american movies.
Last of the Mochicans
Wilfred is a crazy show. Dude from lord of the rings tries to kill himself and is hallucinating that his neighbors dog can talk. They smoke lots of weed.
Ninja Assassin
American Psycho
Hard Candy
Unbreakable

Names a few



I added IPman 2 (couldnt remember if I watched it)

Also added Valhalla rising as it was on a watch list but forgot about it.

Jackie Brown is a MUST SEE, directed by Quentin Tarentino starring fucking Samuel L, Pam Grier, AND PACINO?!?! BEST MOVIE OF ALL FUCKING TIME

I havent seen jackie brown in a while but I think you mean De Niro not Pacino?

oh, and you should definately watch Tucker and Dale vs evil...kinda like wrong turn but from the redneck point of view and it is hysterical! (also stars alan tudyk, another plus)

I thought Tucker and Dale vs. Evil was funny as hell. As a caveat though I watch every movie stoned out of my gourd and go into every movie with an open mind.
I've been meaning to watch The Hunter.

The majority of the movies on my list are foreign films.

I didn't see The fast Runner or Step Into Liquid on your list. I recommend.

I didn't like Wristcutters much at all. cn

Looks like The Fast Runner is no longer available. Step into Liquid doesn't exactly interest me, though I believe I did watch it on Comcast years ago.
I enjoyed Wristcutters..different strokes I suppose.

I just checked ... it's right there! And in the proper format even! cn

 

[neosapien]

Hmm... I only have the streaming... maybe that's why it ain't showing up?

 

[cannabineer]

Could be. I'm discs-only. I can't stream with my dozen kilobits per second. I am always surprised when folks say "xxxxx is on Netflix" and they don't have the disc. That's the cornerstone of their business! cn

 

[guy incognito]

Wait, you wait for regular mail and use a physical disc? Does netflix even deliver to caves? Get with the times man! It's the 90's!

 

[neosapien]

Yeah, not sure why they would have a digital copy of something and not the hard copy. I also don't understand why they don't just have the complete catalogue available both ways.

 

[guy incognito]

I thought they held back on the streaming to force you to buy a more expensive package to get the discs. I use my friend's account, so I only get streaming, and there is a ton of stuff not available.

 

[cannabineer]

I suspect cost is an issue. i also suspect the quality of their inventory maintenance is slipping. I've had "Going Places" in queue for two years now. They list it as available, but it got shunted into some "delivery uncertain" limbo. After this long, yuh'sd think someone would update availability status.

And I would so like to be able to watch all of Top Gear. Some of the funniest stuff I've found. cn

Two things.
1) I have a very narrow pipe. Getting a "modern' one would cost a lot. Pfeh.
2) I have never had anyone successfully explain to me how to access the Bonus Materials (such as the commentary and outtakes) from a streamed copy. DVD had led me to expect these as part of the package. cn

1. I bet you do, I bet you do.
2. I don't think the bonus material is available streaming. It's not the dvd that is streaming, but the individual episodes.

Are you pumping sunshine in that pipe?

I'll confess I missed the reference ... and am curious. cn
