Films I should see

<p>I won a top of the line membership for a year to NetFlix. Just signed up. Love films. Indies are a favorite. Love all kids of stuff, and if I don’t have to pay for it am willing to try almost anything (not too much of a fan of sci-fi and definitely no horror…)</p>

<p>Just watched Rachel Getting Married, W, Life & Times of Harvey Milk, and season 1 of Big Bang Theory…</p>

<p>Have in my queue: Grey Gardens, La Vie En Rose, Marley & Me, Nights in Rodanthe, Frost/Nixon (not out until 4/21), and Season 1 of The Amazing Race (which I missed on TV & have been a faithful viewer since season 2).</p>

<p>So let’s hear your suggestions for films I “must” add to my queue.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>That’s so cool! Netflix rox!</p>

<p>As for movies…I would suggest “The Wackness,” “Frozen River,” and “The Reader” for indies. They are all very different from one another…but all very good.</p>

<p>And if you’re using Netflix for tv, watch “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad.” So addictive!</p>

<p>Once again, congrats!</p>

6

<p>Transamerica.</p>

7

<p>A couple of movies from several months ago that we loved were “In Bruges”, “Run, Fat Boy, Run” and “Baby Mama”. “Slumdog Millionaire” comes out this week and it was awesome.</p>

<p>I love Netflix.</p>

<p>Ok, I’ve added Frozen River & The Wackness…</p>

<p>Have already seen all the others mentioned. I watch Mad Men & Breaking Bad. </p>

<p>Keep 'em comin!</p>

9

<p>Into The Wild</p>

10

<p>Anything directed by Ang Lee. I really liked Lust, Caution and Eat, Drink, Man, Woman as well as his American movies. I really enjoyed *Little Miss Sunshine *if you haven’t seen it yet.</p>

<p>If you don’t mind a bit of violence older movies that were really good Pulp Fiction and Memento. A sweet romance with multiple story lines is Sliding Doors with Gwynneth Paltrow.</p>

11

<p>For tv, all 7 or 8 seasons of GILMORE GIRLS. I never saw it when it was on, but over the summer my son’s girlfriend lent me her collection. Loved them!! It even helped occupy me as I left my my older son in Philadelphia for his first year in college and started the long drive back to Wisconsin.</p>

<p>This list is pure mob preference, but there are some great films on here that you might not otherwise think of: [IMDb</a> Top 250](<a href=“http://www.imdb.com/chart/top]IMDb”>IMDb Top 250 Movies)</p>

<p>lockn - thanks for the link.</p>

<p>I’ve seen nearly everything mentioned. Not Gillmore Girls though. I’ve seen several episodes on TV and just can’t get into it. Tried right from when it first was on. I’ve added a couple from the IMDB list.</p>

14

<p>In Bruges. It was my favorite movie in 2008 and it was absolutely robbed at the Oscars (should’ve won for Best Screenplay and been nominated for Best Picture). Watch it ASAP.</p>

15

<p>Slumdog if its coming soon. It was great</p>

16

<p>Lars and the Real Girl. LOVED it!!!</p>

17

<p>Ok, cool. Added Lars and the Real Girl (which I had wanted to see but missed it). Saw and loved Into the Wild, In Bruges and Slumdog Millionaire.</p>

18

<p>Netflix will give you suggestions based on the movies you get as well. The synopses are nice and it is easy to generate tons of titles.</p>

19

<p>if you haven’t already seen them:</p>

<p>series we have enjoyed (since we don’t have pay channels) are Weeds and Big Love</p>

<p>my favorite movie of all time: Dogma</p>
