Does anyone have any good Netflix Watch Instantly recommendations?

Has anyone seen "The girl that kicked the Hornets nest"?

I feel like I have seen most of the stuff on watch instantly and am looking into more of the Documentary, Foreign, and lesser known movies. Its really hit or miss with most being a big miss.

I would recommend MOON with Sam Rockwell. Its a neat movie.

Try and get into the Spartacus series, as dumb as it will seem at first, it gets good! Just watched AKA Tommy Chong which was surprisingly great.

cool stuff added most of it. Props on Instant Watch. I hate how netflix displays the movies. It's like their system shows me exactly what I don't want to watch.

Netflix seems to have the full Cosby Show catalog :cool:
I'm running through the whole thing now.

Fans of TV series can usually pull quite a few hours in what their interested (The Office, 30 Rock, Better of Ted, Arrested Development). There's some British sitcoms I'd never seen or heard of before that I liked.

I'm definitely into the Nova and educational/documentary epis more than anything else.

Recently cut cable :tup:
Free satellite (analog:digi convertor) and subscriptions to Netflix and Hulu plus have served as replacements.

Someone here suggested Battlestar Galactica. I always thought it was kind of goofy but it was actually an awesome series once you get into it.

I like the reimagined series far better than the original series. . . not as cheezy or goofy. I recently watched every episode of the new Battlestar right before christmas, took me a week to get through all of them.

Those any good? What kinda humor are they?

I love Dog Bites Man, it got cancelled way too soon. It's a mockumentary(ish) about news reporters.

Mother was the best movie of 2010, in my opinion. Definitely don't miss it. Korean cinema is some of the best out there right now I think.
