Wow. This thread has really taken off.

Man of Tai Chi is on Netflix. It reminds me of what Bruce Lee was trying to do for Chinese cinema with The Chinese Connection. Except more Keyanu Reeves (sp?). Like Ong Bak mixed with Enter the Dragon. Fun shit. Definitely westernized but for a reason.

Sorry. I'm up to my eyeballs at work. When I get home, usually all I can do is go right to bed, with little energy for anything else. I'll try to be more productive here since I always check Netflix and Hulu for new streaming arrivals. My queues for both are fucking ridiculous.

Notable titles on Hulu Plus (added recently):

Akira
Get On The Bus
Devil In A Blue Dress (over here, too)
Babe
Babe: Pig In The City
The Adventures of Milo & Otis
Gimmie Shelter

For fans of world cinema, always plenty of great stuff on their Criterion section, such as:
Seven Samurai (my favorite film of all time)
Cronos (Guillermo Del Toro's debut)
Persona

Speaking of Del Toro, search for Welcome To Bleak House on Hulu. It's a feature on the dvd/blu-ray release of Cronos and should still be available. It's not too long although I wish it was. Del Toro is only the owner of the greatest man cave.

Well, I don't use any streaming services atm but we should use this to select Now Watching movies.

Boom, genius idea.

The Grandmaster has recently been added to Netflix Instant. I found this to be a very worthwhile film, both as a martial arts film and as a Wong Kar-Wai film. My review is on the Movies Watched Recently thread.

There's also an excellent doc on the prog rock band Rush called Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage.
The Oscar winner for Best Documentary, 20 Feet From Stardom, is also available.

And this isn't movie-related but I saw a Twitter post that the past 8 seasons of 24 will be taken off Netflix Instant after this week.

Did they release the uncut version, avid?

Sadly, no.

Thanks, avid. Going to watch it now. (Grandmaster)

Is it as bad as the western cut of Red Cliff?

How To Make Money Selling Drugs is a neat documentary on Prime. It doesn't cover any new ground if you already know how fucked up the War on Drugs is, but it's presented in a fantastic way. It starts with street hustlers and works its way all the way up to cartels.

Good stuff and worth a watch. Fair warning though as it's very graphic.

Sounds pretty interesting. Will throw it on my list, thanks!

I honestly think it's something you and avid will dig. It's informational enough for assholes like us, but filmed in a way that even my wife stopped reading her Kindle to watch.

Be prepared for questions though since the "Super-Size Me" format leaves many things unaswered. I had to pause and explain to my wife many of the things that are glossed over.

Stolen from another site:

Here you are folks, the new and exciting list of movies and TV shows coming to Netflix US this April 2014 (we’re thinking a Rocky marathon is certainly in order):

A League Of Their Own
A Man Called Peter
Alice
Amistad
Barton Fink
Braveheart
Chinatown
Click
Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
Commune
Coneheads
Cotton Comes To Harlem
Death Wish I
Death Wish II
Dragonslayer
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
Heaven Knows, Mr Allison
Inventing The Abbots
Jane Eyre (starring Orson Welles)
Jumanji
Mean Girls
Point Blank
Rocky I
Rocky II
Rocky III
Rocky IV
Rocky V
Sense And Sensibility
The Bells Of St Marys
The Diving Bell And The Butterfly
The English Patient
The Fifth Element
The Legend Of Hell House
The Man With One Red Shoe
The Muppets Take Manhattan
The Naked Gun 2 1/2
The Odd Couple
The River’s Edge
The Robe
The Running Man
The Terminator
There’s No Business Like Show Business

Some of them look to be returning or renewing. Running Man, Terminator, and Fifth Element are nice. Can't believe I don't own those.

What's everyone's favorite movie in the above list? Mine is "A League of Their Own". Jimmy Dugan!

That's impossible to answer, Bret. There's so much awesomeness that there's no clear winner. The whole list is basically badass.

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner has a tour de force when it comes to acting. Other than that nothing stands out as better than anything else.

Rocky I hands down. Such a classic. Though admittedly I do like Mean Girls quite a bit. Especially this bit



Can't stand League of Their Own though except a few scenes of Tom Hanks being an asshole.

Chinatown. Every time I've revisited it, it fails to lose any of its splendor.

Chinatown has a thumbs up

Here's a few more additional titles added to Netflix that's not on that list of pspiddy's:

Ali
Some Like It Hot
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Angel Heart
For A Few Dollars More

And on Hulu Plus:

Dances With Wolves
Out of Sight
The Muppets Take Manhattan
The People Vs. Larry Flynt
All 25 films in the Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman series (will definitely check this one out)

Ugh, Zatoichi makes me want Hulu. I love that series and would absolutely binge on it. Speaking of...

Quantum Leap on Netflix is missing a TON of episodes including the pilot. As a fan, I can't recommend it.

I love Some Like it Hot...

Also, one of my favorite lines ever is from a Zatoichi movie. A prefectural police guy is looking at a dead lady in a lake. He sits there for a while looking at the scene and says "Well, it was either murder, suicide or an accident."

Brilliant detective work if I say so myself.

Kill Bill 1&2 are on Prime. More importantly, GI Joe Retaliation is on Prime!

Fun fact about GI Joe; if you take a shot every time the billed actors noticeably don't give a fuck or, when the editors have hacked together footage to make an actual scene/plot, you'll be dead inside of 40 minutes. All though, if you're high it's probably the greatest film ever.

Recently added to Netflix:

Short Term 12: one of the best films of last year, one I can comfortably say is perfect in every way. It's about a young couple who work as supervisors at a foster care facility and how the woman's grasp on her job and self-control is shaken with the arrival of a new resident, which brings about memories of her own troubled childhood. If you're not in love with Brie Larson, this ought to do the trick.

Milius - John Milius is one of the best screenwriters and directors to have emerged from the 70s. This guy wrote Apocalypse Now, Dirty Harry, Jeremiah Johnson, Geronimo: An American Legend, Clear And Present Danger; did script polishes on Jaws, The Hunt For Red October and others; directed and wrote The Wind and the Lion, Big Wednesday, Conan The Barbarian, Red Dawn, Dillinger and Rough Riders. He co-created one of my favorite tv series, HBO"s Rome. He's one of the great raconteurs. So why has this man not had as much success as some of his colleagues? Well, because he's an extreme right-winger, he wrestles with the Hollywood studio system at every turn and he fucking loves his guns (well, he made Red Dawn, which didn't go over well PR wise). A fascinating portrait of a man who's still trying to tell stories.

The Dirties - I haven't seen this one but I'm told its excellent. It was an indie from last year that dealt with two high school kids making a film about two picked on teens that get revenge on some bullies and how the film inspires one to seek actual revenge on the bullies that he has to deal with.

The Way Way Back is now on HBO Go for your viewing pleasure. Probably my favorite movie from last year. Co-written and directed by Jim Rash (the Dead from Community) and Nat Faxon.
