A compendium of awesome movies on netflix instant

[jebreject]

Even though Netflix will in effect be doubling for me, I guess I don't really mind that much. I don't know. Though I might go to the 2 DVDs a month plan, since I usually sit on the DVDs for like a year anyway and then send them back unwatched.

Big Trouble in Little China is back on Netflix Instant. Get that shit while it lasts

[Thermofusion]

Also apparently the entirety of the MGM Midnite Movies collection is on Netflix now. Or maybe it was always there and I just never noticed. Anyway, go watch Witchfinder General y'all.

Fuck dude, just watched this with the lady (I had told her about the basic premise and she watched it by herself a couple of weekends ago and loved it), and it was awesome.

Anyone have recommendations for stuff on netflix instant that is fun but good background while working material? So nothing that requires constant watching the screen (no subtitles or stuff where the awesomeness is in the visuals) or is hard to follow at all, and nothing particularly heavy/intense. Have some stuff to do tonight, but mostly editing, outlining and analyses, so I should have about half a brain free for entertainment, and it is Friday after all.

If you want good music for this, dig Belbury Poly on some sort of streaming service.  I'll think about the movies.

I highly recommend comedies by Mitchell Leisen—Mating Season, No Man of Her Own, and Darling, How Could You! are all fabulous.

Or The X-Files.

Peep Show!

Archer's comedy is almost entirely auditory; I often half-watch it while cooking and such.  It's almost all an It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia style parade of assholery, though, so it's best if your tolerance for self-interested mean-spiritedness is high.

I watch Bob's Burgers while doing things but sometimes I'll look up and see an incredible visual gag. It's still very funny, but, y'know, TV is a visual medium it turns out.
