Can someone recommend something worthwhile to watch on Netflix streaming? i just went through and im finding the selection is a joke. help please!

[Mr. Sinister]

Documentaries, classic/foreign movies, tv shows. You're not going to find a lot of typical "Blockbuster front row" type stuff in there. For the price, it serves it's purpose well enough.

They have a pretty good selection of anime stuff as well.

Edit, whoops, I misread your post. Maybe get started on Mulholland Drive/Session 9. If you like martial arts, I would suggest Ip Man 1 & 2 for a start.

I really would like to switch to streaming, but I'm sticking with my DVD plan because of that. I think there are like 100,000 choices in DVDs, and 20,000 in streaming.

IMO the streaming option is only worthwhile for tv shows and the occasionally documentary. 90% of the movie options are either old (at least 6 months old) or B movies. Seriously considering getting rid of it.

I Saw The Devil - several ES members have seen it (check the "last movie you've seen" thread). We all agree it was epic.

Sometimes if there is really a movie I want to watch, and it isn't on Netflix, I use my PS3 browser to go online so I can watch basically whatever I want, on my tv. It's a lot harder to do that nowadays, since MegaUpload got shut down.

Yeah, thanks. Megavideo always had top notch quality bootlegs. I tried to watch Silent Hill 2 back in the fall on another website, and it looked like dude was filming with the camera inside his pants, with the fly unzipped.

How does that work? Do you have to download the whole movie? I looked at the site, but I'm a moron when it comes to computers, so I just got confused and angry.

Reading JMS thread about the rats communicating via wire made me think about how movies seem limited to one "extinction device". It's always JUST Zombies or JUST aliens or JUST a giant asteroid.

WHAT IF, A giant asteroid crashes into earth releasing spores that cause the Zombie apocalypse (as opposed to causing mass extinction) the same week an alien race decided to invade and enslave earth and it's inhabitants and humanity's only hope is a hot female scientist who has learned to grow an army of subservient dinosaurs from DNA extracted from mosquitoes preserved in amber?

Yeah man. there are usually about 15-20 movies across the top (hit the arrow button to scroll for more movies), and then there's a listing, and you can also search.

You have to click on the movie you want, find a link that works, and download it. I've been using oneclickmoviez for nearly 2 years now, and never gotten a virus. But I still encourage you to have your computer protected with all the cute anti-virus stuff before messing with it.

most movies take about 4-5 hours to download, and they're ALWAYS great quality HD copies, as if you're watching it on blu-ray.

Download yourself a the VLC media player (its free), pop some popcorn, and enjoy. we have a separate tiny PC that is actually connected straight to our TV's HDMI, and just watch it through the big screen.

That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard.

Who's going to believe a hot chick is a scientist?

Doesn't that take up tons of space (or memory or whatever) on the computer? Do you delete it after you watch it or leave them all on there?

I haven't used the site, but I am guessing if you can download the movie, you can delete it whenever you want. I am also guessing since it is a site and not any software, the only space that it would take up is the space of movie file. And like I said already, you can delete it whenever you want if you download it.

Hmm. Sounds like a good recipe for a Michael Bay blockbuster and a sequel...

Hot female scientist gets small gang of ragtag human (which there are only a handful of left) ex mercs to protect her while she works on a program that would clone humans and repopulate the earth as well as the antidote for the alien virus, while the dinos lie in wait for the winner of the zombie/alien battle.

In the end of the first film, the most dominant and hunkiest of the ragtags saves the hot scientist (throwing the antidote to her in slow motion) and locks himself in the compound with the aliens, and somehow gets transformed.

The scientist is running down a long underground tunnel when her remaining ragtags are killed and she is captured, by another group of ragtags, and an evil scientist, who steals her work for the cloning program to repopulate the earth for the aliens so they can enslave the clones ( while saving himself) and crushes her alien antidote. The scientist then follows that up with a diabolical laugh, and drugs the hot scientist for transport. Then, a previously unknown human resistance crashes the party and saves her. Then the screen fades to black.

You now have a Tragic Hero (the mutated hunky ragtag merc) who is experimented on and reprogrammed (with Alen DNA) to be a general who leads the ground forces, a new antagonist ( the mad scientist) and the Final Battle between the Dinos/Human Resistance, and the Aliens.

I have no idea what I just posted...
