Just on Netflix, please. I don't get hulu or amazon, etc. Just regular cable tv and netflix.
What movies do you recommend and/or rate?

Anyone see SnowPiercer yet? I was not expecting it to be any good, but dayum! It was! And the best part is...I didn't guess the ending. Or even the middle. That's saying something.

Also, If you like Orange Is The New Black, check out Wentworth. Similar, but different enough to appreciate all the characters and plot.

Thanks, I'll check them out. Broadchurch is good and so is House of Cards
 
I just got done the "Murder in Paradise" 2nd season. Sort of a comedy - murder mystery in the Islands. Nothing hard core and every case gets neatly zipped up at the end of an hour but quite good. It's got Danny John-Jules (who played "Cat" on Red Dwarf) playing an islander cop if you can believe it. A bit of light mystery fun ...

I enjoyed the Netflix series, Grace and Frankie....and Australia's Miss Fischer's Murder Mysteries (that's her in my avatar).
 
"The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" (a Netflix original series) is pretty funny.
 
I am really not in to anime, or chick flicks, or comedies. But thanks for giving the heads up to others that will be participating in this thread. :)

I am eagerly awaiting House Of Cards to start the new season! I think Frank will do just fine without Claire, lol. He may be beating the hell out of his playstation, though, during frustrating times..if not outright plotting the demise of an enemy :mrgreen:

I also like foreign movies if they have subtitles. I never did before but ran across some really good ones so I don't mind pausing to read what they are saying.

One I watched, haunted me for a long time. Excellent movie, but disturbing. You can't get it in streaming any more though. Has to be sent via dvd. The name of it is The Stoning Of Soraya.

I need to check if shark tank is on Netflix, I love that show.

EDIT: Nope, shark tank isn't on netflix, but it is on HULU, and I got both :mrgreen: sucks to be you man. I would recommend just getting HULU so you have Netflix and HULU. After that, dump cable TV because it's such an incredible ****ing waste of money considering that NETFLIX and HULU are both hardly 10 bucks a month each.

We have a silver package with our cable, and we have roomies. So...cable tv has to stay cuz they want it. Being on a budget, I can't do all three. I'm happy with Netfix. :)
 
If you're talking about streaming Netflix, "Something Wild" is on there now. It's a great, older cult film now, really entertaining. We've been binge re-watching Breaking Bad. After several times, I try to fast forward thru any part with Skyler. Seems more entertaining that way. Plus, all the episodes of Burn Notice are on there. Kiss of Death with David Caruso and Nicholas Cage is good also. Lots of action and a good story. Most of the episodes of Lie to Me are really good, start with the first one.

I really tried with Breaking Bad, but just couldn't get in to it.
I did finally watch all of Sons Of Anarchy, but started to hate Gemma so badly, it was a struggling to get through them all. By the ending few episodes, I was hoping Jax would off her..and he did....then I wanted him offed as well. Apple didn't fall far from that tree with those two.
 
The Magdalene Sisters. It was kind of slow, kind of peeved me off (let's put it this way...I was TOTALLY pissed off), but was still kind of interesting as to what used to (and may still) go on.
 
Brothern..most of those movies you recommended are not streaming. And I don't pay for the dvd mailing. Some I found, most not. :(
 
I just finished binge watching Marco Polo Season 2. I really liked it.

If you like the post-apocalyptic genre, I'd recommend The Walking Dead.
 
Daredevil, House of cards and Narcos are pretty good exclusive NF shows. Other shows like Mad Men, Les Revenants, Archer, Broadchurch and Peaky Blinders are all very good in my opinion.
 
I tried Peaky Blinders. I just couldn't in to it. Hated MadMen and only got in a couple of seasons. LOVE the Walking Dead and eagerly await it to come back on.
Orange is the New Black is good, and Wentworth is a tad better.
I might give Narcos a try. Did watch Dare Devil and liked it a lot too.
I'll look up Les Revenants. I don't like chick flicks and am more of an action/horror/historical genre' sorta gal.
