I just signed up today.
Recommend me a good:
1. TV Show
2. Documentary
3. Drama
4. Foreign Film (English subtitles of course)
5. Sci-Fi Film
6. Martial Arts Film
I will say some picks will be easier than others so they don't all have to be obscure! I'll let you know what I have seen and post my impressions when I get around to watching them.
Thanks
May have slightly cheated. 4-6 are all subtitled, but strongly recommended.
1.
Breaking Bad Essential television viewing and it's in one of my favorite shows, along with the wire.
2.
Ken Burns: The Civil War I've had a bunch of documentaries bookmarked for a while, including side by side and Jiro Dreams of Sushi. To my shame, I never get around to them. But I've been enjoying this Ken Burns series.
3.
Brick Very stylized neo-noir film. Maybe not everyones cup of tea, but i'd always recommend people give it a go anyway.
4.
The Twilight Samurai Absoultely fantastic drama about the life of a low ranking samurai and his family. It's a film about samurai, but isn't what i'd refer to as a samurai film. It's definitely worthy of the praise, in my opinion.
5.
The Host A film by one of my favorite directors and starring one of my favorite actors. If netflix had Memories of Murder, a film with the same duo, i'd have picked that for foreign and probably written a bunch of paragraphs about it.
The Host mixes genres and is a drama, dark comedy, sci fi and monster film. It's exciting, heartfelt and a clever social commentary.

IP Man Watched this with some friends last year and it's a blast.
