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):

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

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.
 
Here's my Blockbuster queue Top 10:
1 ) Cache (on the way)
2 ) Breach (on the way)
3 ) Motorcycle Diaries
4 ) Diggers
5 ) War Zone
6 ) Bully
7 ) Hotel Rwanda
8 ) Barbarella (don't laugh. never saw it)
9 ) Chuck & Buck
10 ) Transamerica

Coffee and Cigarettes is No. 11 on my list. Unfortunately, Brown Bunny is not available from Blockbuster. I've looked.
 
"Boxing Helena" has a place of honor among the worst movies I've ever seen. Avoid - it's two hours of your lives you'll never get back. It's not entertainingly bad, or MS3TK fodder bad.
It's...just...bad.
Subsequent to that nightmare, whenever I see Julian Sands or Sherilynn Fenn on the screen, I (and those around me) feel thankful for gun control laws. It cost Kim Basinger $9 million to bail out of that movie - neither George Steinbrenner nor John Henry has ever spent $9M that wisely.

Blockbuster doesn't have NC-17 flicks.
 
I've got Brown Bunny if anyone wants me to send it their way. Only cost a buck to send. PM me.
 
I've gotten some pretty strange (but enjoyable) flicks from Netflix lately.

Lila Says
Cheeky (one long T&A parade, heavy emphasis on the A)
Shortbus (it lived up to the "freaky" opinion offered by some here)
Romance
 
I have to send some thanks to IJAG...one of my favorite posters on this board...for some movie recommendations earlier in this thread. My list of odd films from Netflix continues to grow. Thank god I'm not married anymore and can pick and choose what I want to watch.

Taylor's been on a Looney Toons kick, and he's been able to see many of the class and ultraviolent Bugs Bunny cartoons. He's happy and so am I.

Mine, on the other hand, are still in the bizarre...

Rape is a Circle
SpiderBabe (another Misty Mundae b-movie hit)
Beijing Bicycle
Citizen Ruth
and
Wild Things
(I've been on a Neve Campbell kick...just had When Will I Be Loved and Relative Strangers)

Any other suggestions?
