Anybody got any British sitcom recommendations? I've seen Inbetweeners, IT Crowd, Office, Fresh Meat and a few others. I've become a fan of them and looking for some hidden gems.

2nd vote for Peep Show. Hilarious cringe comedy. And of course, anything by Steve Coogan - Alan Partridge, The Trip, etc.

The Assassin (2015) was supposedly added today as well! It's supposed to be really good so I'm excited to watch it.

Is it good? Netflix shows 1.5 stars for me. Can someone clarify if that is a rating based on all users or some kind of prediction based on the movies I've watched and rated myself?

Scrotal recall is a good one. It just got renewed for season 2.

Also, never mind the title.

Yessss. Didn't think this show would survive. Worst title ever for a great show.

It is based on what you have watched and rated. The non adjusted rating for the Assassin is 2.5 stars but it has not been on netflix for very long so I would guess not that many people have rated it. I recall the movie winning a few critics polls for best film of last year.

Cuckoo's relatively new on Netflix, features the headmaster from Inbetweeners as a dad, and is funny in a similar style to Inbetweeners/Fresh Meat/Some Girls etc.

Is there a way to have Netflix just marathon a show without it stopping after every episode to make sure you are still watching?

Netflix Canada here, and I have an option to enable Auto-Play under Manage Playback Settings.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I have that enabled too. But sometimes it'll just stop in the middle of an episode to make me press continue.

It's not a major inconvenience, but I tend to use it as background noise so I don't even have it on a monitor when I'm listening to it

16 Blocks is good but could've been made amazing if Denzel played the main guy instead of Bruce Willis.

I've never seen Deep Impact but it looks like just the right kind of corny 'so bad its good' 90s movie I'd love. Perhaps I'll watch it tonight.

For all of you young whipper snappers that have never seen it - definitely check out The Running Man. Awesome sci-fi movie with some of Schwarzeneggers best murder puns of all time.

Finally got around to watching V for Vendetta. Was always kinda put off by the internet following it had, and never got around to watching it. Fun movie, if a little overlong.

In season 3 of my Friends marathon. You guys were right, show does get better over time. The one standout ep so far was 'The one where no one's ready', felt inspired by Seinfeld's chinese restaurant ep. Second favorite was the one with two parties.

Looks like there's been an update to the UI to include a big "Netflix Originals" section underneath "Continue Watching". So if you were one of those people who wanted that, there you go :)

Funny that Deep Impact and Armageddon came out in the same year. I always preferred Armageddon; my wife prefers Deep Impact. There's more story and perhaps more "realism" to the Deep Impact story. Like, this is what could actually happen vs. Bruce Willis and his manly men save the day with heroic flag waving 'MURRRRICAAAAA!!!! Michael Bay movie.

Can't really recommend either. At least Rumble is bad but in an amusing way...

Rumble is worth a watch for Jackie Chan fans but it's pretty bad. I liked it much more when I was younger.

That said, I watched Supercop (another Jackie Chan movie) recently and I think it has aged better. The action is still quite stellar in my opinion.

Watched daredevil the movie tonight and... holy shit, it's so bad so bad so bad... it's funny, actually is hilarious. And all that corny nu-metal music... lol

But the best part is Ben Affleck's hair lol

I've been trying to track down the director's cut, which got a much better reception, but I'm not sure if it ever made it to the UK.

Anyway, there's two songs I like on the soundtrack (the Boysetsfire and Autopilot Off ones) but I don't know if they actually made it in to the film proper. That's basically the sum of my opinions on Daredevil '03.
