I know that a lot of fellow FReepers stream Netflix.
What are your suggestions for movies that may not have received the attention or respect that they deserved?
What are you those gems that are worth watching again?
How about that obscure movie that you tell people they should watch?
Bonus points for links, pics or video of the movie you are talking about.
I'll start;
Firefly - The complete series.
Nothing like a good old fashioned cowboys in space series. Excellent cast, tight writing and a fan demanded ending. Highly recommended.
Zombieland
Guns, zombies and jokes. What more can you ask? The normally nauseating Woody Harrelson at his redneck best. And seat belts, remember to wear your seat belt.
Centurion
A Euro production that got little notice in the States, it is one of the rare Romans vs Barbarian movies that actually makes you root for the Roman.
Well, those are the first few, what is in your instant queue ?

And the best BBC comedy ever
so ingenious and fun to watch
Allo Allo
Legend of the seeker season 2
Have gun will travel
Charlie Chan
Robin hood season 1 maybe 2
The Unimpressive Seven
Easy Night’s Morning
Many Hate It Cold
Low Midnight
Afternoon Cowgirl
Dark Shadows? The original Dark Shadows (not the short lived remake) is available to stream?
Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia with Warren Oates directed by Peckinpah. A little known classic.
I also suggest Monsieur Ibrahim if you’re into nuance.
I watched “The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest” the other day.
Scandanavian feminist horse sh-t. When I see someone reading Sieg Larsson, I reach for my glock.
The Lives of Others
The first two or three collections you can stream. the rest you have to get the dvd.
Netflix needs to Instantly make available Instantly
Yes, Minister

Belly Laugh Funny and Dead On.
Boondock Saints.
Metropolis. Restored 1926 original.

Cool. I thought it was just me. I wasn’t really impressed with it, I thought is was dark and very slow moving. I love the Firefly series and the Serenity movie, they are always good to watch. “The Young Victoria” was very good.
Yes, but only the ones after Barnabas appears.
MC Vinny was a blast! Loved that movie. Last major movie with Ralph Machio? Last thing I saw him in. A decent actor with a boy's face, couldn't seem to move into leading man or character actor roles.
I really enjoyed the new Star Trek Movie.

Yeah yeah, I know, it isn’t the REAL Kirk and all that but a pretty decent movie.
Although it isn’t available for streaming, Army of Darkness was a hoot.

Tournament - vg shoot-em up.
Added District 9 (for a second time).
The Jerk was never a movie I liked. Sorry!
Added Spartacus Blood and Sand and Gods of the Arena. My son gave it a big thumbs up also.
Added City Island. I love these comedies I have never heard about!
Added the Monk TV series. I heard about that series after it had been on for 2 seasons and never got to catch up.
Good call.
Added Archangel. Never heard of it but the premise sounds interesting indeed.
Sorry mylife but I could never get into Dr. Who. It is just so .... British.
Cheers,
