I went ahead and joined Netflix
 

What are some good movies I should add to the queue?

I'm thinking of cutting out cable for a few months and joining too...
Did you get the little download thingy that lets you download the movies too?

Yeah, although I have my doubts I will be using that feature anytime soon.

I got suckered into it myself. An aunt gave me a free month giftcard and of course you must supply all of your billing details - bastards.

Why "suckered?"

i dropped that long time ago the internet is full of movies hahahahaha not saying do something "illegal"

Had no plans on joining myself and pretty much resisted it. I suppose I could of just not used the card but I did not want it to go to waste.

What genre do you like? Share a few movies that blew your mind maybe, or had you laughing or crying.

I figure though.. for $99 bucks... (for the equipment) then $8 something per month.. I can download them all I want legally.. on the big TV.. and not have to deal with the spyware and shit on the torrents...

I watch netflix on my 360 constantly.

Do they have a referral link? anyone wanna spam me?
I'm gonna go sign up.

Like comedy: Super Troopers, the old Pink Panther flicks, Anchorman
Not into chick flicks.
Like the Die Hard series, Lord of War
Not a sci-fi guy (never seen star wars, LOTR, star trek).

40 year old virgin cracked me up, enjoyed napoleon dynamite

let us know how it worked. i tried it and i guess i was became a poweruser quickly and anything new i had to wait for.

You liked napoleon dynamite? Where you sober when watching? lol I didnt crack as much as a smile the whole movie.

Role Models
Super Bad
Knocked Up (semi chick flick)
Zach and Miri make a Porno
(Those are all recent funny ones)

The Prestige was good... Departed is good... the Mel Gibson war movie.. we just watched it the other day.. I can't think of it.. but its about the first team into Vietnam with helicopters...

The Bucketlist is a great movie...

I have watched it a few times and still find things amusing about it.

Netflix has a thing where if you spend some time rating movies you've already seen, it makes some pretty good recommendations.

Try
Shawn of the Dead, Armies of Darkness, Waiting and Herold and kumar goto White Castle.

I've been thinking about joining that.. maybe I will once I get out of the hospital

a recent funny movie i watched was Hot Rod :1orglaugh

the 2nd Harold and kumar movie is funny too

Cinema Paradiso

Role Models - Thanks
Super Bad - pretty sure I saw it
Knocked Up (semi chick flick) - definitely saw it
Zach and Miri make a Porno - my assistant dropped it off here earlier today


The Prestige was good - will put on list
... Departed is good... saw it
the Mel Gibson war movie.. - We Were Soldiers?

The Bucketlist is a great movie... It was okay.

apple tv for the win!!!!!!

i hate waiting to get movies back and forth.

Rate as many movies as you can and Netflix will start recommending genres and movies to you. The more movies you rate the more accurate their recommendations.

I love Netflix, I am behind on the Big Love saga so I am catching up with their discs!

Cop Land , apocalypto

hell ride is entertaining. over the top biker flick

That's one of the great features with netflix. You select films you've liked and the software makes suggestions. I didn't think I would like Netflix as much as I do. Signed up nearly a year ago and it's been flawless.

I already know my main problem with them is going to be the picking and rating since I don't really do movies all that frequently.

you guys have time for movies?

man on the moon, 2010 a space odyssey

mel brooks life stinks

I would think if someone did not have time for it they are doing something very wrong. One of the main reasons to stay self employed was so that I could have time to do things I wanted. Sure I am as busy as hell when I am working but hell if I had no time to goof off, veg out, or enjoy myself I would know for a fact something went very wrong.

Bah, I'm blank...trying to come up with movies I didn't mention in the other movies thread and not coming up with much:

Comedy:

Baseketball
Team America
Stuck On You
Get Shorty (like a lighter comedy Pulp Fiction of sorts)
Clerks 2

Action:

Face/Off (a little bit overly theatrical action sequences but otherwise great movie)
Phoenix (k so I did mention this in other thread but falls under action)
Minority Report
Man On Fire
Sin City
Deja Vu (almost trippy enough to be sci-fi but enjoyable as action flick)
Next (ditto)

When I'm dispatching.. or if I need to chill because some form of coding is making me want to die.. or if I'm on a big, long call with a cokehead who likes to do all the talking..

TV is your friend. :)

heaven can wait, one flew over the cuckoo's nest

:2 cents::2 cents:

"dantes inferno" season 1 and 2

Haven't you people ever heard of a library?

My local library has rows and rows of movies I can check out. I had never seen the Sopronos and about six months ago, one season at a time, I checked them all out and watched them. The selection is pretty good too. Right now I just checked out Charlie Wilson's War.
