Help, my Netflix queue is empty!

[Tinkermommy]

What are some good movies that you recommend? We rarely go to an adult movie at the theatre so anything recent I have probably not seen.

I love just about anything but my husband does not like horror movies.

Any suggestions?

I wouldn't go to one of those at the theater either.

I use amazon.com to fill my Netflix queue (Best seller list, or new release list usually helps), or I browse around on IMDB. Sometimes I'll see something on the "Top" lists that I forgot I wanted to see, or I'll see something that catches my eye.

 

[AshleyW]

Here's some from my queue... keep in mind they're still in my queue, so I haven't seen them.. they might be quite terrible.

Death at a Funeral
Brothers
Sherlock Holmes
The Book of Eli
Kick-***
Dexter: Season 4
Date Night
Coco Before Chanel
Iron Man 2
Invictus
(500) Days of Summer
Remember Me
The Lovely Bones
Where the Wild Things Are (saw this in theaters, but I want to re-watch it )

I meant adult as in not a kids movie. I certainly never would go to a XXX theatre. You can just get those delivered to your home.

I find Netflix really difficult to browse. It seems they "hide" the most popular movies.

Using Amazon to search is a good idea.

Oops, I won't give you that list then.

After accidentally telling my brother several years ago that "the adult movies are in the bedroom" , I've learned to always say "grown-up movies".

Spirited Away - actually better than Disney!

The best way to get great movies in Netflix is to threefold:

1: Browse and add all the 5 star rated movies.
2: Click on movies recommended for you.
3: Movies similar to a particular movie you like is also shown.

Hope that helps.

I have Bucket List sitting on my counter-for a week. I need to watch that and get it back.

I use the instant streaming more than anything, especially while I am on the elliptical. Right now I am watching "Earthquake" from 1974. It's a hoot to see the clothing, cars, home decor, etc. I watch for 30 minutes while I work out, then the next day click resume and it starts where I left off. I LOVE Netflix.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Total, my Netflix queues (streaming and DVD) are over 800 movies. I watch a LOT of movies, thanks to working third shift I watch a lot of horror, though, so my list of recommendations isn't that long for people not into horror.

If you like sci-fi, I'd recommend Pandorum. I watched it and actually really liked it.

The Losers
Iron Man 2
Law Abiding Citizen
Mr Brooks
Drag Me to Hell (horror, but it was VERY good)
Milk
The Crazies
Righteous Kill

I'm sure I have more, but, like I said, I'm a really big horror fan and most of my recommendations are horror.

I just realize how dismal the subject matter is for my list! I will add that I enjoyed The Hangover, Four Christmases, and The Blind Side. That should perk this up a bit.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I binge on TV so I'll add in Doctor Who (new series), Lost, True Blood (not everyone's thing I know), Robot Chicken (its got a sick sense of humor but that's why I love it) and Primeval. As for movies I just added The A Team to my list.

I know. I thought Nicholas Cage was awesome but I was put off by how vulgar the little girl was, and didn't really like the main kids. The development of the "bad kid" was pretty interesting, tho.

Crash
Back-up plan
Couples Retreat

 

[Tinkermommy]

I am so glad I started this thread. There are some great suggestions for movies I wanted to see but forgot about.

Thanks everyone!

Subscribing!

Does anyone know of the name of this movie... It was a romance and it went back in the recent past and showed how things would have been different if the couple hadn't met, or maybe it was how if just one thing had changed, how the couple wouldn't have met and their lives would have been so different. I haven't seen it - only heard about it.

Also, there was another movie (romance) that had something to do with a revolving door. Not even sure what the story line was, but dh mentioned it a long time ago and said it was good.
