I'm getting tired of Netflix streaming..........

[rdharma]

Has anyone found some interesting stuff there recently?

1. A couple of things I've seen recently that I liked

It's a Disaster (independent comedy/drama)

Head Games (documentary)

Thunder Soul (documentary)

Supporting Characters (indie drama)

Sleepwalk with Me (indie comedy/drama)

Blindsight (documentary)

Have you watched Derek? Loved it.

And if you haven't looked at it, check out abetterqueue. It's a site that combines rotten tomatoes reviews with what's available to stream with a lot of sorting options.

4. I still have 150 titles in my queue, but I also do a lot of streaming from

Acorn TV, MHz Worldview, and Hulu Plus these days, and occasionally from some of the other Roku channels, like PBS, if I've missed the broadcast of something.

Netflix is no longer my only streaming source.

[cbayer]

5. 150?? Wow.

I only use Netflix. I had Hulu Plus for awhile, mainly for the Daily Show and Colbert, but the service was terrible and I hated the commercials.

My connection is really iffy and Netflix seems to be the only service that actually (kind of) works.

10. Examples:

56 Up
The Silence
There Will Be Blood
War Witch
200 Motels
Rita
Accused
Continuum
Awake
House of Cards (it can't be as good as the one with Ian Richardson, but I like Kevin Spacey)
Campion
Inspector Alleyn Mysteries
The Girl Who Played with Fire
Poetry
Inspector Bellamy
Henning Menkell's Wallander (the Swedish one, not the Branagh one)
Cave of Forgotten Dreams and so on and so on

[cbayer]

11. I haven't seen (or even heard) of most of those.

Love the "Up" series and this is a good one.
There Will Be Blood - too violent for me
House or Cards is excellent (I liked the British one as well)

15. The Girl Who Played with Fire

I assume you've seen "Dragon Tatoo" and "Hornets' Nest".

Noomi Repace rocks.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

21. Only Dragon Tattoo

The original Swedish version, of course!

[rdharma]

13. I live in the sticks...... and don't get out much.....

Blindsight is the only title I recognize from your list above. There's also a science fiction movie with the same title that sounds interesting.

I think I'll start out with "Sleepwalk with Me"........ I could use a little humor.

Thanks!

[cbayer]

14. I hope you enjoy it. I watched it twice and really like this guy.

I don't get out much either, so I really rely on my streaming (when I can get it).

Watched "Chasing Ice" last night and really liked it.

[enough]

2. Maybe I shouldn't admit it, but I liked Orange is the New Black, a series that gets better

and better as it goes on.

Also you can stream Chasing Ice, which is very interesting.

But I agree, the streaming options seem to be getting thinner on Netflix.

[cbayer]

3. I thought it was one of the best series I have ever seen.

Not sure why you wouldn't want to admit it.

Chasing Ice is on my list. Will watch tonight.

Thanks!

[enough]

6. Oh I guess because the person who recommended it to me talked about it as

being sort of junky, for some reason. Then later I read an analysis by someone who said she would never watch anything that featured black people in prison. I think I am too easily guilt-tripped by other people's opinions! That didn't keep me from watching the whole thing and loving it, though.

What I loved about it was getting to see a lot of different interesting women relating to each other in a lot of different ways.

[cbayer]

7. The relationships between the women were fascinating, as were their

relationships with the guards.

I'm sure you probably know, but it is based on a true story. If you get a chance to here the woman it is based on interviewed, you would probably really enjoy it.

I like it so much, I have watched it twice.

Have you watched Derek?

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Chasing Ice is fantastic!

And a must see.

[cbayer]

9. I'm going to watch it tonight!

[rdharma]

16. OMG Chasing Ice!

One of the best documentaries ever!

A must see!

12. Check out my movie blog. It's mainly reviews of streaming movies

http://moviejunkiemark.blogspot.com

I've seen a ton of great stuff on Netflix streaming. And I have close to 300 movies in my queue. I pretty much watch a movie a day, while I work out on my rowing machine.

[rdharma]

17. I really like that "moviejunkiemark" site!

Thanks!

The embedded movie trailers are very helpful!

[bif]

19. Thank you!

Hope you find some good recommendations there!

[rdharma]

20. Give me some time to get back to you.......

'Cause it's going to take a while to see all these movies!

Thanks again!

18. I'm currently watching Scandal...

House of Cards is next on my list. I've got quite a bit on my quere as well. Hellbound is a documentary I recently watched that I enjoyed. I also watched Mary, Queen of Scots and a few other historical documentaries, too.

If that's your only streaming source, I could understand you getting bored with it. We have Hulu, but I don't watch it that much. I watch Amazon streaming frequently.

I also go here to help me find other stuff to watch on Netflix...

http://instantwatcher.com/

It helps me find stuff I haven't seen.

Not only that, I wish Netflix could get more content like classic TV dramas such as Marcus Welby, or other shows like Smallville. There is a ton of shows and movies that aren't on there that I'd love to see.
