Social Question
I just got a Netflix account - what should I put in my queue?
I finally got myself a Netflix account, and I’m looking for movie recommendations. I’m down for just about any kind of movie, with a preference towards high-quality (ie Paul Blart: Mall Cop just isn’t going to cut it for me). I’m not a big horror fan, but I do like thrillers along the lines of The Game, Sunshine, and Se7en, and I did really like Audition, though I swear I’m not fucked up in the head.
Not that recommendations have to be similar to these (in fact, different is good!), but here are a few of my favorite movies, just to give you an idea of my jumping off point (and letting you know some of the ones you might recommend that I’ve seen):
Brick, A Clockwork Orange, Milk, Almost Famous, Amelie, Pulp Fiction, The History Boys, Bottle Shock, Black Snake Moan, Kill Bill, Lie with Me, Rushmore, Gaslight, Fight Club, Gone with the Wind, Waking Life, I Heart Huckabees, Lars and the Real Girl, The Graduate, Inglourious Basterds, Blue Velvet, Waking the Dead, Reefer Madness, The Royal Tennenbaums, Gattaca, Requiem for a Dream, Donnie Darko, American Beauty, Best In Show, Memento, Hard Candy, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Usual Suspects, The Princess Bride, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, The Shining, Brokeback Mountain, Coffee and Cigarettes, Saved!, Annie Hall, Citizen Kane, Knocked Up, Puccini for Beginners, Away We Go
