Good Movies to put on Netflix?

Quick281 · 05-11-2009, 07:40 PM

As most of you know I am in Alaska for the summer. On top of that I am also working nights which means my non-existent social life will be much more boring. To make things worse, my internet is terrible but thats because I live in employee housing.

Either way, I have time to kill. I signed up for Netflix to catch up on a ton of movies I have been putting off.

I tend to like interesting documentaries, suspense, comedy, action or just odd but humorous shit. I also lined up all of Nip/Tuck, The Office, LOST. I know I like nip/tuck and the office but all the rambling of lost made we want to give it a shot. I will also enjoy watching them in a row since I can never keep up with any series. I also got some cool documentaries like Generation: Kill, Carrier, The Marines, Everest. Just random things that look mildly appealing.

Today I finally watched Pulp Fiction. Great movie. 3:10 to Yuma is next up but I may not watch it today.

So basically, I need suggestions of all sorts to put on the list. I have 100 disks on their now, but I could always use more recommendations.

P.S. Anyone know of a good online texas holdem site?

whats your name on netflix? I can add you as a friend and send you recommendations.

There's a whole bunch of motorcycle stuff you rent from netflix. Right now i am watching long way down. If you havent' watch it yet, its really good. and the first one long way around.

And i never realized i would like sci fi, but have been watching stargate SG1.

i would like to get into poker myself but need to read a bit more. The ones i hear about are fulltiltpoker.com and pokerstars.com

We tend to watch more documentaries than movies thru Netflix.

Some of the good one's we've seen are:

Dust To Glory
Inside The Living Body
Two Days In April
God Grew Tired Of Us
Everest: IMAX
F**K: A Documentary
Maxed Out
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
Spellbound
Faster
Paper Clips
Billabong Odyssey
Scrabylon

Might I also suggest you rent the show "Damages". It airs on cable but season 1 is on Netflix. Awesome show, terrific acting and really is a "must see".

Actually I just looked at the CDs and it looks like there is a warehouse in Anchorage. Suppose I will find out when I drop these off in the morning.

I think if you click this you can add me as a friend and send suggestions. Tsunami and I can't figure it out.

Quick281 · 05-12-2009, 07:32 AM

Alright I added every suggestion on here, thanks!

I had forgotten all about damages! I loved that show but after I missed a couple shows, I stopped watching. I am so glad I started this thread.
