So many, surprisingly I find the foreign section to be quite impressive, especially the Scandinavian films, such great psychological thrillers, or they have a decent selection of the film movement films, which I have never heard of ANY.... but whenever I have watched them had great, redeeming qualities.

Yea, it was a nice treat. Wasn't expecting the pseudo 80's music and fonts.

Hunger.
Pretty terrible, and really dumb if you start analyzing it, but far better than it should've been. If that makes any sense. Anyway I watched the whole thing all the way through. Usually with Netfilx I turn most stuff off and never finish it. This I endured.
Maybe cause I liked the girl in it... idk. It was better than a lot of the other 3 star movies I've tried to watch lately.

I really wish this service was in my country. My provider only rents a movie for 3.50 wich is atrocious.

I logged on in Mexico last week and when I got back to US it was borked. Reinstalled and now it's fine.

Just watched Amadeus. I'm sure many in here already know about it as it has been around nearly 30 years and its highly regarded but in case you haven't - it's a very enjoyable movie about the conflict between the bitter jealousy of Salieri for the musical genius of Mozart. Tom Hulce's (best known for Animal House) performance annoyed me at first and seemed so out of place but I grew to like him as the movie went on and F Murray Abraham was great from the get go. The musical performances needless to say were fantastic. I feel motivated to listen to Mozart music now and learn about the real life story of Mozart and Salieri.
So apparently there's a bunch of James Bond movies on Netflix and they're all expiring November 1. Did they just go up, or have they been there and I never noticed until last week? I assumed it was a promo to go with the blu-ray boxset and anniversary.
I watched From Russia, With Love last night. The novel was easily my favorite of the Bond novels, but it's been so long since I read it or watched the movie all I could remember was that there was a train and (book spoiler)
. It was nice seeing a Bond movie that plays out like a spy thriller and not an action movie, but it still felt underwhelming. I seem to recall there being some good character development in the novel, which would've helped this particular Bond film immensely.

Bond dying from the poisoned boot knife
That is some bullshit.
Although i think most are on comcast on demand for free so i will just watch them there, i saw a few on the xfinity site so i assume it's also on ondemand.
They just went up earlier this month.
The Bond films go up and down on Netflix. I don't really understand the logic, but they are there now.
I Love You Phillip Morris.
As a straight man, I loved it. Jim Carrey is great in it.
Great, great movie. It stretches historical accuracy a bit but the story is so compelling that very few care. And the music is glorious, of course.
the cinematography in that movie is stunning, 'the queen of the night' set piece was mindblowing.

The Friday the 13th & James Bond series gets put up & taken down all the time, they will be back probably in a few short months if not in a few weeks.
Also if anyone missed it, but the entire Pink Panther series (except the 1st movie strangely) has been put up recently.
I recommend the 2nd, 3rd & 4th movies. Comedy classics.
But stay the fuck away from the 5th (Revenge of the Pink Panther), 6th (Trail of the Pink Panther), 7th (Curse of the Pink Panther) & 8th (Son of the Pink Panther) movies.
The 5th movie was the last with Peter Sellers in the role fully throughout the movie (He died during the 6th movie).

Alias is a fantastic show but it has a split in the face base. Some people say Seasons 1-2 are great the rest are garbage, the other half say it got worse after season 3.
I won't deny that the later seasons aren't as good but i still love the series.

Killer Inside Me was pretty good and disturbing as hell. Casey Affleck was good and actually didn't annoy me with his voice too much. Been meaning to check out the book, but haven't got around to it.
The Man From Nowhere was rec'ed in this thread multiple times, prompting me to watch it. Awesome action flick.
do they have the 4 and half hour version?Just saw an awesome foreign language flick: Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale.
It takes a while to get going, but the payoff is enormous. One of the best movies I've seen on NetFlix, period.

Each Wong Kar Wai film on Netflix is a must see:

I watched the first five mins and was confused as hell... and the action looked really fake/poorly shot so I turned it off. Might try again some other time when I'm in the mood for something like that.
Thanks for the heads up Boetsch, will finally check this out.

Touch is terrible, Alias is good fun.
I've had a hard time finding many on Netflix (streaming). But if you haven't seen Shelter yet I'd highly recommend you rent it or find another way to see it.

Touch is great. Don't listen to Fusebox.

So last night I had my VPN on set in Canada and I was browsing netflix not realizing it was using Canada's list. They have better movie selection than the US....
Well, newer/more mainstream releases.

Sometimes stuff gets lost in the mail. One time I experienced the same issue. I believe someone at my local post office may have been stealing my DVDs as after several failed attempts by Netflix to send me the disk I wanted, I filed a complaint to my local post office and a few days later, one of the missing Netflix disks showed up and it looked like the sleeve had been opened and taped back together.
Usually if you report missing disks to Netflix they will usually re-send you the missing disk and also start sending you other disks in your queue as a courtesy. I'm guessing this is what is happening in your case? Their customer support is really good. Maybe you should just call them again?
We've had one disc not show up. I reported it as not delivered using their web site (didn't call). They automatically sent me another copy of it. Then a few months later they sent me an automated e-mail saying they'd received the original disc. At least they got it back eventually.
