I really dislike most of the big Hollywood or New York movies. I mean, they're all right. But, they are so predictable and formula and it's just boring most of the time. But, I love the small indie movies. Last night I watched one called Breaking Upward. It was pretty good. I recommend it.

Any rec's for some good indie movies? You get bonus points if they are already on Netflix.

    Timer
    Puppy
    Heavenly Creatures
    Neo Ned
    Never Forever
    Brick
    Quid Pro Quo
    World's Greatest Dad
    Downloading Nancy
    Altered (not sure if considered indie)
    Rampage (not sure considered indie)

    Thats just a few and all are instant right now and all I gave 4-5 stars, hope you like or are interested in at least one :)

    That's OK, I strongly disliked Timer. LOL.

    Thanks though. I plan on watching all of these.

    Secretary. Is this an indie movie? Stars James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. And I saw a good sci-fi one called Monster about a year ago.

    Really loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Lords of Dogtown, American History X, Into the Wild, Requiem for a Dream, Spun. I guess off the top of my head those would be my top picks

    'Oldboy' by Park Chan-wook. Violent, intense and one of my all time favorites. In fact, the whole Vengeance trilogy by Park is on Netflix.

    HIGHLY recommended.

    Also, has anyone seen 'Twin Peaks' - one and only television series by David Lynch? Just discovered it. So awesome. (and on Netflix, duh.)
