    Anime movie: Patlabor, and Patlabor 2. The first is an awesome action flick with big fuck-off mechs doing battle, and the second is more of a psychological thriller (as far as that is possible in a movie exploring the mind and environment of the protagonist of the first film). The cinematography of the second film is just stunning, by the way.

    For kids movies that rock the house, after The Goonies and Short Circuit, have at Flight of the Navigator.

    The Cat Returns is a pretty good animated film that I always reccomend to people with Netflix. I've heard of maybe one person who didn't like it, ever.

    To Kill a Mockingbird is available for streaming, and that movie is way rad.

    I miss my subscription. I have a job again finally so hopefully I'll get back into it.

    Rent Aguirre: The Wrath of God. It's Werner Herzog's first film and definitively proves that he is both incredibly talented and off the wall insane.

    Good lord I love this movie. Klaus Kinski shot a man's finger off on set.

    And threatened to murder someone, at gunpoint, who wanted out of the project before they were finished shooting.

    I think I watched most of the things worth watching on instant, short of a few tv series. It takes me a bit to convince myself to sit down for 1000 hours of one show.

    Did The Office and Jericho on it. (May still watch Heroes <.<)

    I saw this fairly recently for the first time. I was pretty shocked by how repulsive and gross the dated special effects still manage to be.

    I second the Doctor Who thing. I didn't like the first guy but David Tenant's pretty amazing.

    Even if you skip most of it, make sure you watch the episode 'BLINK.' It's in season 3, and it's one of the best episodes of television EVER.

    If you can stand subtitles, rent District B13. The movie the writing/directing team for Taken made before they made Taken. It's really, really good. So good that the show CHUCK felt it necessary to rip off the most memorable action sequence for the first episode. Don't you dare listen to it with English dubs. Seriously.

    Kieslowski? He's pretty alright.

    Man, I just watched The Station Agent and it sucked. Most of the movies Netflix reccomends me suck.

    There is a documentary on iTunes I want to watch. It is called Original Child Bomb. Check that out. It is only 1.99 and is on the Sundance Channel under DocDays.

    I haven't seen it yet. Is it really bad? I don't think I could sit through another bad movie.

    I like Jason Statham and I like Guy Ritchie. And this movie has both. I'm conflicted.
