Just watched Cropsey again tonight on US Netflix, a real gem of a doc that blends urban legend with a true crime story and tries to uncover the truth, well worth a watch, really creepy and not one to watch on your own if you're easily scared.

What Maisie Knew added to the Irish site.

Also, Laviathan is on the USA site now too, quite a few were singing it's praises on here.

Is there two films called Leviathan? One about a boat.. maybe, and one that was shown at Cannes just recently?

So it would appear, the one on Netflix is the documentary about the fishing boat. I hadn't heard of the other one.

johnny_ultimate

Yeah, Leviathan (2014) was a Russian film that screened at Cannes this year!

The fishing documentary of the same name is fantastic - as raw and hypnotic as experimental cinema gets. Very much a big screen film though, can imagine it losing something on TVs!

Yeti Beast

So nothing to do with the god-awful Peter Weller deep sea sci-fi flick? Good.

Enjoy! Has one of my favorite endings this decade too.

Very good film. A a few years it will gradually gain approval. My standard is pretty high when it comes to film and this gave me a good high.

It goes against conventional perceptions, in that when i think of a film in thailand, i think of sex, music, noise, people, drugs....

Its sort of like once upon a time in the west set in asia, instead of guns you have samourai swords.

Its the pace that catches people out and the fact that it differs in tone/atmosphere to drive.

Is there any other films that get low ratings that are pretty good do you know? Whats R Scotts the Counselor like as well?

e_e

I kinda liked The Counselor, nowhere near as much as Only God Forgives but I found the constant plot digressions interesting and the cast are fun to watch. Not a completely successful film but I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than some films with far higher ratings.

Post Tenebras Lux is another bat**** crazy and divisive film that I loved (on the US Netflix last time I checked). Be warned though it makes even Only God Forgives look like Driving Miss Daisy in terms of lack of conventional plot and having weird, dark and perverse content. It's the kind of film that baffles you while watching and then a few days later you come to realize that it was actually kind of brilliant.

Il give the councellor a crack. Ridley scott is a good man for films.

Will check out that other film as well. Hopefully its not too ****ed up like Oldboy was. That was just weird and too much.

Short Term 12 is now up on US Netflix, it went quietly under the radar last year which amazes me because it was easily one of the best films of 2013. Basically is focuses on a group home called short term 12, the kids and most specifically one of their carer's, play by Brie Larson in a fantastic turn.

Just found Dead poets society on Norwegian netflix as a new arrival!

Looking for any random film recommendation. Only caveat is I don't like comedy and (at this moment) have a low tolerance of cliché action etc. Anything interesting worth checking out?

If you can get the US Netflix, check out Europa report. Watched it last night and thought it was very good. Sci fi with the emphasis on science.

It must be just me but I wasn't too high on this. It's alright and as disturbing as you would expect but didn't find it all that enticing.

Loved all 4 seasons of community on the Canadian netflix.

Wonder how long untill season 5 is added :P

Cube and Primer are the two I usually recommend when people ask this. Cube ain't on Irish Netflix though.

Try Below. David Twohy made it and he made Pitch Black. Horror type film in a WWII submarine.

Cheers!

Yeah, the third season of the remake (The Killing) is on Irish/UK Netflix but I believe that is a bit muck. I should start watching the original sometime.

I have it downloaded for the last couple of months but I keep putting off watching because I know that's the last series and I want to save it!

Might just start watching it tomorrow, Sarah Lund is such a great character.

Ape Lincoln

Was it shown on BBC? I was hoping to catch it on their player but to no avail. Can never find a suitable download with subs that work on my TV.

The US Killing remake is alright but not great, kinda average. Just finished it recently. I thought it would be shorter than Forbrydelsen but at 26 episodes it is longer than the first series - US Killing spreads the murdered girl in a car boot story over two series.

Loved Sarah Lund too. She has a cameo in S2 of The Killing.

It was on BBC4 couple of years ago, according to wiki anyway. I have it on avi files I watch through my ps3. Hardcoded subs.

Back on topic:
Kids and I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 on US Netflix, they enjoyed it anyway.

Enjoying Orange is the New Black.

Didn't expect I would like it as much as I do, season 2 starts in a few days too.
