I just joined Blockbuster Online (free two week trial) and I've only got 127 movies in my queue. Any suggestions of anything I might not have seen (indie, older, classic, or anything else you like) are welcome.
How many movies do they send you at once? I figure 127 would be plenty for two weeks...unless you plan on keeping your membership.
I'm betting you've seen these: Evil Dead 2 Army of Darkness Snatch Boondock Saints Serenity Tombstone LeCZends can provide you with a whole list of awesome martial arts flicks.
I'm keeping the membership. I've seen all of the ones listed except Secondhand Lions, Collateral, and Lock Stock. Snatch is one of my favorite movies, though, so maybe I'll have to get LS&2SB next.
I just watched Smokin' Aces. Even I thought they used the F word too much. Good movie overall though.
My first three got here today. Akira was great. A Scanner Darkly was absolutely f'ing brilliant. Haven't watched City of God yet.
Try some more... Zardoz The entire series of Lone Wolf and Cub Silverado True Romance True Grit Nineteen-Eight-Four The Quiet Earth Six-String Samurai A Boy and His Dog
City of God <------absolutely awesome movie. Hostel Heat Saw A History of Violence 28 Days Later El Dorado We Were Soldiers
If you like documentaries... 28 Days later Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness Dead meat Dawn of the dead (2002) Dawn of the Dead George A Romero's (1979) Day of the Dead Day of the Dead 2 Contagium Dead & Breakfast Dead Alive Doom Evil Dead Evil Dead 2 Land of the Dead Resident Evil Resident Evil: Apocalypse Return of the Living Dead Return of the Living Dead II Reanimator Night of the Living Dead Shaun of the Dead Undead Zombie 4 after Death
Ghost in the Shell Start with the first movie... if you like it, move onto the remaining movies and to the two seasons of episodes... It is a bit of an acquired taste, even for sci-fi. Here's what's in store for you: Japanese animation, english voice over (well done) future society where network computing is the back bone of all productivity humans can be augmented with computers inside their heads humans can be converted into combat androids, retaining their humanity lots of special ops stuff lots of counter insurgency stuff lots of gun play one guy that likes to use a revolver in a world dominated by semi-auto's The comments about the "American Empire" just need to be dumped in the willfull-suspension-of-disbelief bin good stuff
My recommendations Just did a dump from my netflix rental history & picked out the good ones: BTW: Drop BB and go with Netflix -- much better in my opinion, I've never been ass-raped by Netflix like I have been with Block Buster sometimes. Das Boot [go for the director's cut; 4 hrs = good, 6 hr mini-series in orginal German = better, 2 hr original release = selling yourself short] Stranger than Fiction [surprisingly refreshing for a Wil Ferril movie] Breach Extras: V for Vendetta Syriana Fun with Dick and Jane Ghost in the Shell Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: (7-Disc Series) Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig: (7-Disc Series) Brick [excellent modern film noir, even if set in high school... very edgy] Memoirs of a Geisha Gosford Park Easy Rider The Blue Max Fly Boys The Sand Pebbles Mosquito Squadron [this movie was the inspiration for Lucas' attack on the Death Star] Von Ryan's Express Doom Love Actually Wedding Crashers Drunken Master Sin City The Legend of Drunken Master The Merchant of Venice The Phantom of the Opera: Special Edition National Treasure The Butterfly Effect: Director's Cut H.O.T.S. [blatant t&a fest] Reform School Girls The Notebook Key Largo Judgment at Nuremberg The Magdalene Sisters House of Flying Daggers Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind Hero Myths and Logic of Shaolin Kung Fu Raising Helen [bonus points because they mention Lutherans!] The Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Maltese Falcon Citizen Kane RKO 281 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Plan 9 from Outer Space A Streetcar Named Desire House of Sand and Fog Soylent Green GoodFellas: Special Edition Amelie Monty Python's Life of Brian Amazon Women on the Moon The Punisher Taking Lives Casino Hair Hellboy Desperado / El Mariachi Once Upon a Time in Mexico Monty Python and the Holy Grail A Beautiful Mind Office Space The Godfather The Manchurian Candidate (The original, not that remake abomination) Secret Window Horatio Hornblower [the whole series is excellent]
