GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[cheezydemon3]

Netflix continues to add a bunch of stuff that is great, but not mainstream.

I watch some mainstream stuff, but I like things that I find on netflix that I never would have seen otherwise.

For first run stuff and the most popular movies you are going to pay ala cart regardless.

For subscription, 1 size fits all and few people will have their dreams come true for 7.99 a month.

On a side note* the interface for amazonprime and netflix on the wii is amazing. It blows everything else away*

If you're into WW2 documentaries than Auschwitz is an amazingly insightful one. It's extremely well put together and follows not only the development of the camp, but the development of the ideology that lead up to it.

No it wants me to pay $2.99.

They do have several IMDB top 100 films. Certainly more than Netflix has. I even posted a couple on the previous page (Dr. Strangelove, North by Northwest) But, the Godfather films aren't currently among them. I did also notice that they've got The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly for free as well. That's another that Netflix used to have, but they pulled it.

Well, crap. Seems I was misinformed.

Nazis sure were curious weren't they?

Not sure if it's still there, but the wife and I really enjoyed The Riches.

Iron Sky is FANTASTIC. Funny, witty, awesome transformation from an antiquated school marm to an effing HOT mama

Blood Creek is awesome.

Both of these are a seriously scary different look at Nazis and their curiosity.

I figured out what happened with the IMDB thing. People were seeing this list: http://www.imdb.com/list/rRiA-iq8Woo/ and thinking it meant that was IMDB's overall top 100 and they were offering it for free. That's just the top rated 100 of the movies that are available.

One of the saddest casualties of the writers strike. That was a great show.

Ah! I wondered what happened to it! I really liked that show!!

 

[cheezydemon3]

The THING is effing fantastic. Dry, serious, humorless, bleak, absolutely horrifyingly freakish.

Don't be afraid of the dark was really well done too.

The Skeleton Key was suprisingly well made.

Exit Humanity is a fascinating look at a zombie outbreak in early america.

The Shrine was thoroughly suprising and enjoyable.

LO was pure low budget awesomeness.

That list is out-of-date, but it turns out there is an actual list of the highest-rated (on IMDB) films that are currently available on Amazon Prime, which is apparently kept up-to-date all the time:

Top-Rated films on Amazon Prime streaming

Personally, I think The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly ought to be rated higher than Pulp Fiction, although they are both excellent films.



I agree totally with The Thing...it is one of my favorite films. Very, very well done. I also recommend (if you can find it--it's been on and off various instant streaming services) the prequel to that film, also called The Thing. It is totally worth one's time to watch the prequel, and then immediately follow that with the John Carpenter film back-to-back. The director of the prequel did an absolutely fantastic job of duplicating the sets and getting all the little details right to make it match up perfectly with the original as if it were a continuation of the same story.

Yep. The season ended just as the writer's strike started and by the time it ended too many people had moved on to other projects and whatnot and they just cancelled it.

Just letting you guys know I have a running check list of all the movies I haven't seen that are mentioned, I'm slowly checking away and CD3 which Thing 1989 or Mary Elizabeth Winstead? Cause I gotta thing for average looking brunettes.

The 2011 film with Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the prequel to the 1989 film. The 1989 one is kind of a seminal film. If you have already seen the 1989 one, then I highly suggest watching the prequel first, then immediately start playing the 1989 one right afterwards. If you haven't seen either one, watch the 1989 one first or else the prequel will kind of spoil some good bits in the earlier film.

The THING is pure awesomeness. No HUMOR. No nonsense, no BS.

For what sounds like such a dry movie, it is an R2D2 damned FREAKSHOW. Good God. I saw bits of it on the AMC top 100 horror movies of all time and I was blown away. Had to see it.

I was not disapointed.

All,

I'd like to get rid of my satellite TV bill. I currently have Netflix and Amazon Prime which I can access through my PS3 and Bluray player. Is there another sort of player that will allow apps or website access to the networks like NBC, ABC, CBS, so I can get some of the brand new content? I hear people rave about their Roku players, but is that basically just a means to watch Netflix, Hulu, etc. without the big pricetag of a bluray or gaming station? And Slingbox, is that just a way to watch what you're already paying for remotely? I know I can get the networks via OTA with an antenna, but does anyone know if there's a way to access the video on the network websites from one of these set-top boxes?

I know this is primarily the Netflix thread, but I know a lot of you use other services as well.

Thanks,

Roku has MUCH more than Netflix and Amazon.

College Sports is the only serious gap I see in Roku's coverage.

Too bad since college football is about the best thing this world has to offer...

Yeah something tells me it isn't because roku isn't trying. It is probably the same greedy dip sh!ts keeping the BCS BS alive.

U of L is poised to shock everyone again this season, I won't miss it!
