ok...new day new movie.

Marquis

French, Directed by Henri Xhonneux and written by satirist / puppeteer Roland Topor

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the Muppets did De Sade?
well, probably not...but anyway, I rented this a while back and damn, what a cool movie. fantastic production(costumes and sets) plus it was just so suprising to see puppets in this kind of thing. definatly stands up with Meet the Feebles but not quite as goofy slapstic...but they cut no corners on the adult nature of the material.

this may also be missing from Netflix catalogue but I have seen it on the shelf at a few places.

Well, if you're looking for B-movie horror, I recommend Happiness of the Katakuris. Japanese horror musical with zombies and volcanoes. If it's wrong, I don't want to be right. One of the stranger movies I have seen. You can't miss the Sound of Music reference:

that looks like a hoot sapiens

ok, here's todays movie.

The Incident
crime drama

Late one night, two young toughs went looking for kicks. check IMdb if you want more info I don't want to spoil it.

I think this is Martin Sheens 1st movie and he's really great in it as a thug. Ed McMahon is in it too, pritty decent acting on his part I'd say.

very powerfull acting by all in some very intense scenes of conflict. after watching this I really felt drained, higly suspensfull and very realistic.

Today, I recommend Le Samouraï directed by Jean-Pierre Melville. It's a French crime noir film. I really enjoy Melville films generally. This one stars Alain Deleon (my avatar) as contract killer, Jeff Costello.

Brewmaniac

Comedy - The Man w/Samuel L. Jackson & Eugene Levy

Special Agent Derrick Vann(Jackson) is a man out to get the man who killed his partner but a case of mistaken identity leads him to Andy Fidler(Levy), a salesman with too many questions and a knack of getting in Vanns way - IMDB "He's my bitch"
Very Funny Movie

Thriller-Drama - Inside Man 2005

Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster
A cop has to talk down a bank robber after the criminal's perfect heist spirals into a hostage situation.
A Must See

Sexy - Forbidden
Renee Rea & Tracy Ryan - Hot

Action - The Bourne Trilogy
"Freely adapted from Robert Ludlum's 1980 bestseller, The Bourne Identity starts fast and never slows down. The twisting plot revs up in Zurich, where amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), with no memory of his name, profession, or recent activities, recruits a penniless German traveler (Run Lola Run's Franka Potente) to assist in solving the puzzle of his missing identity." IMDB

Thanks all, I keep updating my queue it's getting rather lengthy.

I received my Netflix subscription just a few months ago and I have piled the queue to years worth of movies and series.

I would heartily recommend Fur:An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus and Wristcutters: A Love story.

I must agree with the Black and White, and silent films having a majesty to them.

sapiens

Today, I recommend Night on Earth directed by Jim Jarmusch. I like most of Jarmusch's films. Night on Earth was the first one I saw. It's a series of short stories about people on cab rides at night around the world. A lot of recognizable actors are in the film, including Roberto Benigni in a heartwarming story about an Italian cab driver and his love of pumpkins. An added bonus: Tom Waits wrote the music for the film.

sapiens

It's been so long since I've seen that movie. Linda Fiorentino is a great femme fatale.

Today I recommend The Conversation directed and written by Francis Ford Coppola. It was his first movie following The Godfather. I guess it qualifies as a crime/drama/mystery. It stars Gene Hackman as a surveillance expert who suspects that the couple he is watching is going to be killed. This is a good movie, perhaps one of Coppola's best.

mixedmedia

On a totally unrelated note, Netflix is eliminating multiple user accounts and this is a real bummer. I find their queue management system to be hard enough to work with as it is. Now I have to weed out my own queue and try to squeeze in a lot of the movies on my 9-year-old's queue and then juggle them around manually with that time-consuming system. Grrrr...and they're very vague as to why they are doing it.

I just watched it last night...

Lars and the Real Girl
Its about a guy who orders a Real Doll online and starts to believe that she is his girlfriend. This movie is so... out there... yet grounded. I was laughing the whole time. Really engaging and sweet. See it!

Netflix decided not to eliminate the profiles: Profiles are not leaving

The Faba

Ong Bak.

Buddhist backwoods villager gets buddha-napped. Gos on wooging rampage to reclaim buddha. Lots of stunts (flying through barbed wire rings, sliding under cars, whatnot) decent plot, decent side comedy. Well worth $5, possibly worth buying if it's your cup of tea.

sapiens

Discussion of Spielberg in a different thread leads me to recommend:

Jaws directed by Steven Spielberg. (The first Jaws, not 2, 3, etc.) If you haven't seen it in a long time or only in bits and pieces on television, rent it. It is probably my favorite Spielberg film. So many great scenes and well-written dialogue.

Cynthetiq

sounds like Mannequin but without the trashy 80s-ness

today's recommendation:
Live Free or Die Hard

much better than the 3rd installment of the Die Hard franchise and you should ph33r da l33t h4x0rZ like Kevin Smith

Bilbert

Wallace & Gromit: Three Amazing Adventures - clay animation

Includes:
A Grand Day Out with Wallace and Gromit
Wallace & Gromit in The Wrong Trousers
Wallace and Gromit in A Close Shave
and a dozen or so shorts.

These and a few of the shorts are better than Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in my opinion.

robot_parade

BTW, watched this one the other night (on your recommendation), and I gotta say THAT WAS SOME FUCKED UP SHIT. Don't want to spoil it, but...what the fuck?

Anyway, it was fun, and all the movie references were nice. It'd be fun to netflix all the movies referenced by it.

Oh, and almost forgot, my recommendation for today: Yojimbo. This is the movie that A Fistfull of Dollars was based off of. Akira Kurosawa.

Bilbert

Stargate: Continuum - Better than the average Stargate episode and much better than Stargate: The Ark of Truth.

Cynthetiq

My pick for today:

Battle Royale

Kinky Boots

Chiwetel Ejiofor is a good singer... good soundtrack too.

Balls of Fury

Interesting homage to kung fu movies without being about kung fu.

This may not completely qualify as a movie as it is more of a series, but it makes for a great NETFLIX addition being that there are multiple discs.

DEADWOOD all 3 seasons.

I'm sure most here know about the show. It is set in the Dakota territories when the land was still an Indian Territory. Deadwood is a town that is set up within the territory to capitalize on area gold and to avoid government interference. It is one of the better produced show/movies in a long time. I'm watching the seasons again with the girlfriend (her first time) and I'm hooked again as is she. It's like American Shakespeare in the mud of the old west. The language and characters are very unique.

SHOGUN, the TV miniseries from the early 80's. I'd seen it about 20 years ago, and have started watching it again via Netflix. Saw the first 135 minutes on the first disc and have the rest in the queue.

There is a BBC miniseries on Netflix called Jekyll. The BEST Jekyll and Hyde reinvention I have ever seen. The make for the transformation is minimal. Little work on the jaw and hair line. The rest of it is just James Nesbitt showing just how good of an actor he is. 10/10.
