Centurian. It's brutal, it's graphic, it's bloody and it has the very attractive and sexy Olga Kurylenko in it. Oh...yes.

The Room (Movie) - Greatest movie ever! Go watch it right now!
The IT Crowd (Series) - British sitcom about two nerds and their tech-illiterate boss. Pretty funny.

I watched the first 2 episodes of The IT Crowd, it wasn't bad but the laugh track is really preventing me from watching it any further.

I have been watching the entire MacGyver series, starting with the pilot, hah.

Also, something of interest about Netflix usage in general, Kotaku offers up an interesting article about the service hogging up internet usage, lol.

almost 20% of total internet bandwidth usage in the United States is from people watching movies and TV shows via Netflix on their video game consoles.

Here is a link to the actual study.

Kinda interesting, also, I was actively using Netflix on my PS3 when I came across the article, lol.

Battlestar Galactica (Entire series is on there!)

Watched the first two "episodes" of this (the two-episode miniseries) and really enjoyed it. They did a great job setting up the series. Obviously I'm like 8 years behind everyone else here, but whatever. I'll be going through all 70+ episodes over the next couple months.

Lucky sonofagun. Smile

I'd give a lot to be able to watch that series again for the first time.

The episode that I think is titled "Ghost in the Machine" holds a special place to me. It's definitely not the best, but for pure nostalgia factor it might be my favorite X-Files episode.

Ghost in the Machine is also a really, really good album by the Police.

I don't have Netfix, so I don't know if they have it, but The Good Guys was a buddy cop show on Fox that I really liked...which means it probably won't be renewed (like my other favorite Fox shows: Firefly, Greg the Bunny, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.)

Damn you, Fox!!! Evil

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm working my way through Battlestar Gallactica and its really good!

Mutants is another solid French zombie movie.
Cube 2 and Cube Zero are both pretty good. Cube is actually my favorite of the trilogy but its not streaming. They're all about people trapped in multiple trapped chambers that make up a giant cube.
Hanger is the most disgusting movie I've ever seen. I suggest you DON'T watch it unless you enjoy gore and shock value.
Strangers With Candy is one of my favorite old shows on Comedy Central. I think its only available for a few more days though. Its about a 40 year old high school drop-out who returns to high school after a life of drugs and prostitution.

Nice thread idea. I recently saw Kick-ass is streamable on there, and I second Under the Red Hood the fight scenes are very inventive and well done.

Great recommendation. The battle scenes were great, and there were a few times where I said "Oh shit" during fight scenes. I would have skipped over this if you hadn't suggested it.

Last Man Standing, ive never seen it before until today and thought id check it out, its heavily under rated and the shooting scenes are fucking awesome, check it out. Bruce Willis + Christopher Walker+ Tommy Guns and Dual pistol shoot outs = Win

Posted: Jun 06 2011 02:25 am

Surprised no one else mentioned DOCTOR WHO! The whole new series, plus many of the old ones, are on there.

Hate how they sometimes remove movies, though. Watch Hackers, Falling Down, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (any episode), and Alien Apocalypse. Oh, speaking of apocalypses, A Boy and His Dog.

EDIT: Whoops, sorry, one guy did mention DW. You should still watch it. And Torchwood. And A Bit of Fry and Laurie, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Mr. Bean, Red Dwarf...pretty much any British show is awesome.

Watched "Ip Man" recently based on a recommendation, and it was really good. One of the better martial arts films I've seen. It's a Chinese film about Master Ip right before World War II. Master Ip was the guy who trained Bruce Lee.

Really great fight scenes, and a great story.

Posted: Jun 17 2011 01:34 pm

Ip Man is the shit. I think Ip Man 2 is out but not sure if it can be streamed or not.

Posted: Jun 19 2011 10:13 pm

Watch Sherlock Holmes, the new BBC series. It's pretty awesome and different then the recent movie. Also, it's written by the head writer for Doctor Who, Steven Moffat (Blink, Empty Child), if you want to know the quality your getting.

I'm actually just now starting to watch Naruto. If you can get past the fact that the protagonist is an egotistical prick, it's not that bad.

It just became available to stream and I watched it. Another great martial arts movie. The guy who plays Master Ip is really damn good.
