Netflix Instant recommendations thread

Too much like wrestling.

Great, now I want to see it.

They also added Eating Raoul yesterday; a movie I've heard much about but still never seen.

One of my all-time favorites!

The Year My Voice Breaking, long unavailable in the US, is on Netflix streaming. It's an Australian movie about adolescence, first love, stuff like that, but it's tonally miles away from corresponding US fare. It's funny and heartbreaking and I can't wait to watch it again for the first time in years. Noah Taylor's the only actor I remember from it. It was followed by a second (also excellent) movie called Flirting that got a little more attention here thanks probably largely to Nicole Kidman having a small part. Thandie Newton's also in it and, while you can't watch it on streaming, DVD copies can usually be had fairly cheaply.

I saw Flirting in college.  Need to check out the first one.

Just watched Antichrist

Also just noticed that someone rating the film on Netflix gave it only 1 star because the title was misleading

Just saw, and loved "Adam's Apples", a very dark comedy take on the Book of Job. Hope it's available streaming, if not, it's worth pulling the DVD.

I searched for Steve Coogan to see if any of his series were available to watch instantly (they aren't)

Search harder! Saxondale is available. It's probably my favorite Steve Coogan TV show.

I can't recommend Saxondale enough. It's a good one.

Actual title is The Year My Voice Broke and both film are well worth your time.

Are Eating Raoul and My Dinner with Andre sequels?  Like Benny and Joon and What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Has anyone checked out Borgia on Netflix?  Not The Borgias, starring Jeremy Irons, but Borgia, starring John Doman (Rawls from the Wire) and from Tom Fontana (producer of Oz and Homicide).

Victor Borge - "Page-turner"

This sh*t here is funny, I don't know what's wrong with you people.

I thought What's Eating Gilbert Grape? had it's own sequels called Something is still Eating Gilbert Grape and What's Eating Gilbert Grape 3: Keep on Eating!

I just found out that Armando Ianucci's In The Loop is available on Netflix Instant now.  One of my favorite comedies in years.
