Netflix Movies That Don't Suck.
 
I just watched Memorial Day the other day, good movie. The kid watched it and liked it, too. Very well done, I thought. I think you guys would like it.

Not the point.
I watch Netflix out here in the shop and am always looking for something decent that I haven't seen. Any suggestions would be a HUGE help. I spend more time rooting than I do watching. :)

Do you mind watching foreign movies? " The Wave", "Sophie Scholl", The original " Girl with the dragon tattoo" series,lots of good T.V. series. I'm almost finished with the "West Wing" an amazing show, " Mad Men", " The Wonder Years", " freaks and Geeks" was a good one, too bad its only one season. Just a couple:)

Pretty much anything. Sci-fi, Action/Adventure and war movies the most.

They have a ton of Military Docus if you're into them. Also watched a really awesome one about Arlington National Cemetary called "Arlington : field of hereos"

I actually watched a foreign movie on Netflix last night. It was called Downfall I am pretty sure. In German with sub titles about Hitlers last days in the bunker. I wasn't expecting it to be that good but it was. I recommend checking it out if you are OK with sub titles.

I've been watching Columbo and McMillan and Wife.
Love the oldies!
It was cool to see how many places they smoked back then!

Rotten Tomatoes has a Netflix section under "DVD" at the top. Select "Netflix Streaming", you can choose Genre, Rating, Decade, etc. Plus the Rotten Tomatoes rating system is pretty good, I've found some hidden gems doing it this way.

Very cool!!!
You can start with TOS, then TNG, then DS9 and Voyager!
They all evolve so well over time!

I like the Kung Fu/Martial Arts Movies they have some of them are really good.
"The Man from No where" was good. A korean version of "the Professional"

But the good ones are captioned.

Also they have some good series

Archer :r , Breaking bad, the walking dead, Battle Star Galactica are a few that come to mind.

I love Ken Burns historical documentaries. Especially the Civil War and WW2 ones he did.

Last two we saw were documentaries, Blood to Wine, I like Tool, and wine so this was pretty cool. And Beer Wars, after watching you'll not want another AB product again. Not that I did before but this documentary will confirm it.

Yeah beer wars was fascinating
