I just got done watching 13 Sins on Netflix and it was a good creepy movie about a twisted gameshow. I never would have watched it if it wasnt on Netflix, and I was wondering if anyone had any movie recommendations of good films buried in the Netflix streaming catalogue.

Ninja Cheerleaders - with Mr. Sulu as their mentor

Red vs. Blue. Actually, this is pretty much a trainwreck of TV, but totally unable to look away.

Dale and tucker vs evil

My god I loved that movie.

Valhalla Rising, despite the bad title, was a good movie. Saw it on a whim on Netflix and it was an instant favorite for me. You'd have to enjoy slow, plodding stuff like 2001 to enjoy it, plus it s pretty rough with the violence at times.

Sounds awesome.

For me the two that come to mind are Goon & Europa Report.
I watched Goon with mega bassist's recommendation. Really funny hockey movie with Kim Coates fro extra hilarity although the ending is pretty stomach churning
Europa Report is a spiritual successor to Arthur C. Clarke's Odyssey Quadrilogy after the feth up that was 2010 we'll never see 2061 & 3001 on the big screen. This film does borrow heavily from 2061 being set on Europa but

Spoiler:

The creature involved is also pretty damn similar to the creature from 2010 (The book)

Spoiler:

Also not a movie but Scooby Doo: mystery Incorporated. Both seasons are on netflix and I really enjoyed this show, although it still subscribes to the Scooby Doo formula of solving mysteries but has a season long plot arc in each season and it feels like they develop the characters beyond earlier incarnations and manage to include pop cultural reference's to things including HP Lovecraft & Watchmen overall it was a really good watch I recommend you watch the first 2 or 3 episodes to get a feel for it

**timetowaste85**

I just watched Goon last night. I'm a SWS fan, so it was cool to watch. Man, Eugene Levy just can't stay out of his movies either.

**jasper76**

Europa Report was a good one!

Sorta kinda along the same line and also on Netflix, check out Apollo 18.

**Chancetragedy**

Goon - hilarious
13 assassins - OMG so brutal
And clone wars - awesome Star Wars fix.

**jasper76**

Dude...check out Hara Kiri: Death of a Samurai.

At once a gruesome brutal look into ritual honor suicide, and also a touching family story...Awesome movie...at least four stars IMO

**guardpiper**

The Inspector Dee movies, both where good solid marital arts movies with some Sherlock Homes fair added in.

**jasper76**

Kagemusha is an awesome classic samurai movie on Netflix. There is a newer movie called Masquerade that seems heavily inspired by the former, and is also a good movie.

**Bromsy**

John Dies at the End.

**Jihadin**

Arn, Templar Knight was good.

Sweden made a vampire movie using Waffen SS background in Sweden. "Frostbite"

**SharkoutofWata**

Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Breaking Bad, The Grey, Apocalypse Now, How I Met Your Mother, Dexter.

**Jihadin**

Anyone else watching "Ray Donovon"?

Do they have the full 4 hour version (or however long it is) or is it still the abridged one? I didn't like the abridged version of Arn or Red Cliffs. The full version of Red Cliffs I got on DVD was sweet.

**Jihadin**

Red Cliffs was good. Liked the part how they replenish their supply of arrows using boats

I caught Arn either on Netflix or Hulu. They were episodes.

You ever saw the black and white version of 47 Ronin?

This is the one I've seen but I didn't see it on Netflix.

Most definitely these. There was actually a Judge Dee movie back in the 70's that I believe they were trying to get going as a series. It looked like it was being done by the same people that put out The Wild Wild West.

Looks like it's a book, also:
