Any excellent "Watch Instantly" movies on Netflix?
I'm always looking for good ones. Some good ones I've seen are:
King of California
The Man From Earth
An Angel for May
Ben X
Water Lilies
Rare Birds

1. Do You Like Foreign Films?
That's all I watch.

After the Wedding (Efter brylluppet) is a Danish film. It's really great.

4. I Gave it the Same!
How about... (searching recently watched movies...)

The Edge of Heaven (German: Auf der anderen Seite)
Letters from Iwo Jima
Goodbye, Children (French: Au Revoir Les Enfants)

I think all of these are sad though. Sorry. :(

3. They just added a ton of Criterion Collection to streaming
if you're into that sort of thing.

Or try "The Front" -- an old Woody Allen acting vehicle about the blacklists back in the McCarthy era.

13. Rory O'Shay Was Here was also good
The description makes it sound depressing, but it really wasn't. Well worth checking out!

14. Not movies, but the entire "30 Days" series is up.
I've watched them all a couple of times. Spurlock makes a good show.

19. I mostly watch very depressing movies but 'Strictly Sexual' was a cute fun one
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 04:49 PM by LynneSin
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494277/

In Los Angeles, the wealthy aspirant writer Donna and her best friend (also aspirant designer) Christi Ann are bored of relationships and decide to chase two escorts in a bar for one night stand. Meanwhile, the construction workers and best friends Stanny and Joe come from New York but do not find jobs in Los Angeles; without money, they decide to go to a fancy bar to drink and leave the place without paying the bill. Donna and Christi Ann meet Stanny and Joe and invite them home believing they are hustlers. After a night of sex, the women discover the misunderstanding and that the men are indeed unemployed workers. They offer them to stay in a tent near the swimming-pool with beer and food while they search for jobs; in return, they would be their "boy-toys" during the nights in a strictly sexual relationship. Along the following weeks, the couples become closer and change their feelings and behaviors with the development and growing of their relationships.
