What's in your Netflix queue?

Add White Palace to the list as well.

 

I have Wordplay here right now, but it won't play. so I'll take it back to Blockbuster tomorrow and trade it out for something else. Next on my queue is "Notes on a Scandal."

 

Notes on a Scandal = good movie.

 

At home, I'm getting Weeds Season 2, Discs 1 and 2 today...on my queue...

1. Bush's Brain (not too excited about this right now. I might move something else up)
2. The Cooler
3. 21 Grams
4. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
5. Pride and Prejudice
6. March of the Penguins (nature kick)
7. Winged Migration (see above)
8. King Kong
9. Coach Carter
10. Remember the Titans (never seen it, I know)

I have 141 movies on there, and I just saw Dexter Season 1 releases next week, so I'll be moving that up to the top.

I'm a big fan of Netflix. They just added a feature which allows to watch movies online. You get the amount of hours you pay a month (I pay $15/mo so I get 15 hours a month of online watching). I just used it for the first time last night and the quality is tremendous, surprisingly.

 

Less Than Zero is quality; amazing soundtrack, too.

 

My top 10:

Notes on a Scandal
Pieces of April
Green Street Hooligans
Departed
Bubba Ho-Tep
Importance of Being Earnest
Amelie
Chris Rock Never Scared
Meet The Fockers
Into the Arms of Strangers

 

Pieces of April is wonderful as is Amelie.

 

As my boy Zach Galifinakis once said..."I thought it was a little strange that they made another Ernest movie. And the title was really cocky too." Actually, that's not an exact quote, but funny nonetheless.

 

Alley, you said you aren't crazy about Blockbuster's selection? Of the 84 movies on my queue, I'd never heard of these (admittedly, I'm kind of out of the loop on movies so you might know them all):

Pieces of April
Importance of Being Earnest
Price of Milk
Living Out Loud
Broken Flowers
Playing By Heart
Winter Passing
Crumb
Born Into Brothels
Tarnation
Paternal Instinct
Seeing Other People
Tiptoes
Giving It Up

You never struck me as a chick-flick chick, IJAG.

 

Love chick flicks. Watched The Notebook for the 85th time a couple weeks ago, and cried for the 85th time.

But that list is a mix of chick flicks I don't know, some gay movies (yay, gay men!) and just stuff that sounded intriguing. I also have some documentaries on there. Spellbound is the next I'll get, I think...and March of the Penguins.

 

Don't have Netflix, but I'll throw out a few for folks to consider:

Two-Moon Junction (steamy, with young, sexy Virginia Madsen)
Eating Raoul
Boxing Helena
Novacane
Brown Bunny
Coffee and Cigarettes (the vignette with Jack and Meg White is priceless)
Either one of the "Daria" movies

And IJAG is right about The Notebook. Just go into it with an open mind and enjoy the story. To that end, that's why I like The Bridges of Madison County.
