    One of my favorites is a Russian movie called "The Concert". Funny, poignant, it really had all the elements of a great movie. There's also a Mexican movie called "Like Water for Chocolate" that's wonderful.

    Another great one is the fantasy flick "Stardust" with De Niro and Michelle Pfieffer, with a great cameo by Ricky Gervais. It's worth the price just to see De Niro as a gay pirate.... I think it would be a great movie for kids, but only if a gay pirate doesn't offend your sensibilities....

    Terry Gilliam, formerly of Monty Python has some great movies that haven't gotten their due. Among them are "The Fisher King", "The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen", "12 Monkeys" and my favorite, "Time Bandits". ALL great flicks if you like something a little off-center.

    Oh man, that broke my heart.


    Yes it was a very sad ending

    Not that I need more movies/tv shows in my Netflix queue but these are great recommendations to save/look out for.

    Glad everyone is enjoying One Week. I had suggested it to a bunch of my friends and got mixed responses. I feel like I've redeemed myself with everyone on here loving it.

    This is awesome! I don't have cable and I am always looking for new things on Netflix. I don't always have a lot of time to watch movies though so my list of favs are generally TV shows. Right now I have:

    Dr. Who (they really need to hurry up and update this one!!!)
    American Horror Story
    Copper
    The Walking Dead (again....they need to update this one!)

    For movies, I think the most recent one I wathced was Machine Gun Preacher.

    Is this on NETFLIX streaming? Just did a search and nada, but I have poor phone connection here in the office.

    Not sure if it's been said in the thread but Primer is pretty interesting.

    Very low budget I think 7,000 dollars but the storyline is pretty good

    Is The Fisher King on Netflix? I love that movie so much! I have it on VHS. And yes, I still have the player. :smile:

    The last season of the Walking Dead is coming in August, according to my son. I can't wait!

    @ACapero79, I still have One Week in my queue. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I put a lot of stuff in there, and then a good bit of the movies recommended here were wiped out when Netflix didn't renew some contracts.
