Which of these movies are worth watching?
http://www.hulu.com/browse/alphabetical/feature_film (http://tinyurl.com/5n6wcd)
I've seen Mr. Warmth and enjoyed it.
Last Days of Disco and Dig! are on my list.
If there are other movie streaming sites, legal or otherwise, please feel free to introduce them to me.
I have a bunch of free time in my hand these days. :-\

I don't know if you have an extra 9 bucks to spare every month but getting Netflix's cheapest instant watch plan with 1 DVD out at a time would be something I'd recommend.
-
There's actually a pretty decent documentary on there called "Crawford" about George W. Bush's relationship with Crawford, Texas. That's about all I can recommend.
-
Ha - I've gotten like half a dozen of these movies on DVD for like $3 or less.
The only must-see on here is "Hercules In New York". MUST SEE. SO GOOD. The bear attack scene alone is worth the time investment.
"The Last Man On Earth" and "Dr Phibes Rises Again" are both vintage Vincent Price joints that I enjoy. "Slacker" is decent, as is "Broken Flowers". I've heard "Open Your Eyes" si pretty good, but haven't seen it myself.
Damn. Maybe I should start watching some of these.

And I've seen and liked all of these from the Hulu site. Criterion must be streaming their films on Hulu.... that's kind of weird.
39 Steps
Broken Flowers
Dig!
Hoop Dreams
Revenge of the Nerds
Slacker

Speaking of Arnold Schwarzenegger, I highly recommend the movie "Stay Hungry." It's an odd, but great film. You'll have to get it from Netflix though.

I've put my netflix account on hold for a few months. Planning to resume it in the summer.
Thanks for your suggestions so far. Maybe this 3-day weekend that's coming up won't be that bad.

Ah, I see Nicholas Ray's Bigger Than Life - which isn't on dvd - is on there. I'll have to check that out.

James Mason is so awesomely over-the-top in it. Plus Walter Matthau!

Speaking of Matthau, I was gonna reccomend Taking of Pelham 123, but it looks like they've taken it out of circulation:

Oh well ... I saw it at hulu not too long ago, and I enjoyed it. It was the original 1974 version, and a hyped-up remake is on the way to a theater near you sometime soon.
I keep telling myself that I'll watch "Requiem for a Dream" one day, as a sort of homework assignment. It sounds like the most depressing movie ever.

You will love it. Fantastic. One of my fav Rays.

Saw that one not too long ago- and it's great. I did not know there was another remake coming out.
The first version of the movie I saw was the made-for-tv one when I was still a kid. I remember liking that one quite a bit too at that time.
Thanks everyone. I haven't seen a majority of movies that you might consider obvious. The site must've had Clifford on at some time- they just have some clips now and not the full movie.

as for other than legal streaming movie sites, a coworker recently told me about 66stage.com (http://66stage.com). You have to click the titles on the right, not the ads in the center, and some of the streaming platforms are pretty weird (I prefer megavideo and google video), but there seem to be a lot of decent movies for viewing without the hassle of torrenting (or actually spending money).
Oh yeah, as a bonus for any sports fans out there, a favorite sport streaming site of mine is atdhe.net (http://atdhe.net).

The theme song from the Matthau/Balsam/Shaw version is kick-ass.

YES. A total classic, that.

Totally. They could have shown a terrible movie after that theme song, and I would have still been happy. But the movie ain't bad at all.
