Walkin' Netflix Blues

This is the Netflix thread. This is where we talk movies, bitch about movies, tell each other what to see, ignore each other, and then watch some dumb movie because it's got some guy from Star Wars in it.

So, I'll start the recommendations (which we all know we'll stop doing, like, seven pages from now and just talk about movies and TV that may or may not actually be on Netflix). If you haven't seen these movies, you should make a point of doing so:
Way of the Gun
Aguirre: The Wrath of God
Tokyo Godfathers
The Thin Man
Dead Man
Grizzly Man
Head On


Also, here's a list of horror movies you should check out this Halloween that I did for my internship. Click on it or they beat me. Note: All formatting errors that lie within I share no responsibility for.

Or we can just discuss films in general. That is an entirely acceptable alternative.

    PI, your list

    I like it

    I haven't seen Bug or Devil's Backbone, but there is no one to blame but myself for that.

    I love Werner Herzog, Little Dieter Needs to Fly is an amazing movie, but Christ was Grizzly Man painful to watch. It was purely the subject matter that turned me off, but I cannot handle What'shisface and his terminal bear-crazy.

    I guess that all depends.

    How much do you hate your parents?

    You do realize that you're asking if you should post information, when you could just post the actual information, right? Does that strike you as odd?

    I don't really hate my parents, I guess?

    And that's true. But man that thread was two months ago. Whatever I guess.

    Hey errbody, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus comes out in the US/Canada on Christmas.

    They're both similar in the fact that they're both chock full of terrible crap for the sake of pointing out that it sucks.

    Pushing boundaries they are.

    But seriously, there isn't anything inherently wrong with pushing boundaries or trying to illicit a reaction, because that's kind of the point of art. There's obviously more to it than that, though.
