If you have Netflix, post the last movie that arrived in your mailbox...

[Hissyspit]

or that you played in Instant Watch.

I just got Michael Caine in Bryan Forbes' 1968 "Deadfall" and Burt Reynolds and Catherine Deneuve in Robert Aldrich's 1975 "Hustle."

Before that, I watched Robert Altman's 1979 "Quintet," and Dean Martin in Billy Wilder's 1964 "Kiss Me, Stupid, and two Robert Aldrich movies: "The Killing of Sister George" and "Too Late The Hero" (I'm on a Michael Caine and Robert Aldrich kick).

[Tom_Foolery]

1. Public Enemies with Johnny Depp. n/t

[Hissyspit]

4. I saw that in the theatre.

Pretty much just a remake of 1973's "Dillinger." Decent popcorn flick, though.

[texanwitch]

2. I just mailed one back this morning, Carnivale.

Hope to get another dvd tomorrow.

[Hissyspit]

6. For some reason, I don't send them back one at a time. I like to send them off and receive them

three at a time, which is my limit.

The animated feature or the TV series with Adrienne Barbeau?

[texanwitch]

8. I only get one at a time.

The dvd just goes to a Houston address.

If I mail the dvd early at the downtown post office I get one the next day.

[texanwitch]

24. The tv series.

The show is really interesting, but strange.

[Hissyspit]

31. That's what it seems like to me. I had completely forgotten about it

until you mentioned it.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. "The Men Who Stare at Goats"

[Hissyspit]

5. So was it as bad as reviewers said?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

7. It was okay

I gave it three stars, although it was more of a two and a half. The last twenty minutes really brought it downhill for me.

[gmoney]

9. "Airplane!"

Watched "Zero Hour!" a couple weeks ago, the 50's movie that they basically revised to make "Airplane!" -- the same plot, same name (Ted Stryker), and a lot of the same lines even. Had hoped to get them a bit closer together, but oh well.

[Hissyspit]

12. I saw that once, too, after I had seen Airplane, of course.

Saw Airplane in the theatre when it first came out. The theatre was packed and I couldn't breath I was laughing so much. I noticed that I laughed at some jokes no one else laughed at.

Met Dana Andrews once. He was in a play in our local theatre and had laryngitis. He performed, but someone else read his lines off-stage. Weird.

[Bryn]

67. Dana Andrews was my maternal grandmother's first cousin

her maiden name was Andrews. I've never met him though he had seen me when I was a baby! LOL

[Hissyspit]

80. That's really close.

I felt so bad he had a sore throught. I think the play was "Man For All Seasons."

He was in "The Ox-Bow Incident" and is really good in "Laura." He was in "The Loved One," too!

[bif]

10. "God Grew Tired of Us" in mailbox. Watched "Man Push Cart"

this afternoon on line

[Hissyspit]

13. I remember the interviews associated with God Grew Tired. I have always wanted

to see Man Push Cart, and will add it to my queue if there is still room there. I recently reached the 500-movie limit.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. There is a 500 movie limit in the queue and you reached it?

Wow....on so many levels.

I am a dedicated movie watcher now, but my list pales compared to that.

[Hissyspit]

18. I didn't know there was a limit, until I reached it.

Remember these are movies I WANT to see, not movies I have seen.

[HipChick]

11. Red Dwarf..

[yankeepants]

14. My three came today

Mad Men: Season 3: Disc 2, Everybody's Fine, and Brothers. Not a good grouping. I was in a hurry.

[Hissyspit]

19. It can be hard to choose sometimes.

And three-at-a-time is not conducive to TV series. I wish I could afford five at a time.

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. 10 part Brit series The First World War

Quite detailed.
Most of us have learned WW l started because some guy shot the Archduke.
but why did he shoot him and what was it really about and how does that event lead to
the war in Bosnia again in 1992.?

Aha!!!!

Details matter.

This is a really good series.
think of it as the British version of Ken Burn's The Civil War.

[Hissyspit]

20. My understanding:

Count Brechthold lied to Franz-Josef of Austria-Hungary about Serbia massing troops.

I think I'm remembering that right?

All wars start with deliberate lies.

[MorningGlow]

16. Charlotte's Web

(MG Jr. dominates the mailing queue.) I tend to do the "watch instantly" ones on my 'puter. Just rewatched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and The Commitments after many years. Both movies stood up to my fond memories remarkably well.

[Hissyspit]

21. I got the 1970s animated version from Netflix a few weeks ago.

Hadn't seen it since I was a kid.

[MorningGlow]

44. That's the one!

I was SO not going to let my kid see any other version! :D

"Oh wow, look at him now, Zuckerman's famous pig
Sooey, what do you see?
The greatest hog in history.
Fine swine, wish he was mine.
What if he's not so big?
He's some terrific, radiant, humble thingamajig of a pig!"

Yeah. It's been an earworm ever since we watched it!
:rofl:

[Hissyspit]

79. I found it harder to get through an adult. Just not as dramaticallyinteresting to me, I guess.

But I still love the book. I have the recording of the Kids from the Brady Bunch singing the theme song.

[BurtWorm]

22. In the mail: O Brother Where Art Thou

On line: Double feature: Fitzcarraldo and The Burden of Dreams (about the making of Fitzcarraldo).

[Hissyspit]

29. Have seen all. Great stuff.

I saw O Brother in the theatre the first day it came out, and actually saw Burden of Dreams BEFORE I saw Fitzcarraldo.

[CBHagman]

23. Disc 1 of series 2 of "Life on Mars."

It's propped up against my printer, waiting patiently to be played.

[Hissyspit]

26. Watched the first couple of episodes and missed the rest.

Silly, but enjoyable.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

65. Oh, you're in for a treat

I saw the first season on BBC America, and then, after I dropped cable, I couldn't wait for the Region 1 DVD release, so I bought both seasons from Amazon UK to play on my region-free player.

Much better than the U.S. version, in my opinion.

I've also bought the first season of Ashes to Ashes, which is a sequel of sorts, but I haven't watched it yet.

[CBHagman]

68. Weirdly enough, I have seen more of "Ashes to Ashes."

I don't get cable anymore and never got BBC America in the first place, and PBS is just getting around to airing the first season of Life on Mars. The BBC won't let me view things at their site, since I'm in the wrong region. But you can watch Ashes to Ashes on YouTube.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

25. Last tangible DVD: The Departed. Last online viewing: The Big Lebowski.

:toast:

[sarge43]

27. Got them today.

Chuck Jones: Extremes and in Betweens, a Life in Animation
Tesla: Master of Lightning
Napoleon
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Training Day

[Hissyspit]

30. Napoleon the PBS documentary?

I remember recording that on videotape when it was first shown!

[sarge43]

39. Yup. Looking forward to watching it. The PBS docs are usually good. n/t

[Hissyspit]

40. Yes, it was good.

[Kutjara]

28. The original "Of Mice and Men." n/t

[Hissyspit]

32. Saw that for the first time a few weeks ago!

Better (and longer) than I expected.

[Kutjara]

33. I've been going through a real phase or watching/rewatching classics lately.

The last three I got were "Judgement at Nuremberg," "On the Waterfront" and "The Grapes of Wrath."

[Hissyspit]

37. I watched "Judgment at Nuremberg" a month or so ago, too.

Still very powerful.

[soleft]

34. Hard Candy

I'm afraid to watch it.

[Hissyspit]

38. I had not heard of that.

Looks interesting.

[muffin1]

71. You should be!

It's really very good, and Ellen Page is terrific in it. Basically, it's hard to watch, but so worth it.:thumbsup:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

35. I just sent back "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency," "Milk," and an episode of Midsomer Murders

All good in their own way.

[Hissyspit]

41. "Milk" is in my queue.

[likesmountains 52]

36. Born Into Brothels...haven't watched it yet.

[Lavender Brown]

42. John Adams

I've been watching this miniseries slooowly, one disc at a time.

[Hissyspit]

43. I've wanted to see it too, but

that's what's kept me from it. The investment of time.

[one_voice]

45. Just got three...

1. Amored

2. The Stoning of Soraya M.

3. Did you hear about the Morgans?

[Paladin]

46. "Damn The Defiant"

OUTSTANDING old British sea war flick with Alec Guiness and Dirk Bogarde. Highly recommended......

[Hissyspit]

53. Have seen that one. It's a great one.

Anyone reading this who has never seen "The Bedford Incident" with Richard Widmark from 1965 should add it to their queue.

[GirlAfire]

47. The Last...

...Instant was a Danish film called Efter brylluppet, or After the Wedding.

The last I received by mail was the third disc of the Planet Earth series.

[SeattleGirl]

48. Capitalism: A Love Story

I'll be watching it this weekend.

[Hissyspit]

54. Very good movie.

But not necessarily in the way his other movies have been. Not really much in the way of new if you know anything about the financial collapse, but a good overview. Think of it as a summing-up essay from Moore about the concerns of his career.

[sakabatou]

49. The Wire: Season 1: Disc 2

[Hissyspit]

51. Saw that episode!

Although I have a lot of catching up to do. Again, it's about investing the time. I was a HUGE "Homicide: Life On The Street" fan.

[sakabatou]

52. There are 3 eps on that disc. So... you saw the disc instead?

[Hissyspit]

55. I guess I watched all three episodes. My sister brought it over.

But that's as far as I got. I saw the episode where the detectives describe a crime scene using the F-word exclusively, and I saw part of an episode from the season about the school system. And that's it.

[sakabatou]

59. Yeah, I remember that scene

I was wondering if that's all they could say...

[one_voice]

81. I loved The Wire...

I was so disappointed when it ended.

[MilesColtrane]

50. "W" by Oliver Stone

Haven't watched it yet, but by the trailers it looks to be a broad comedy.

[Lindsey]

56. "12 Monkeys" haven't had a chance to see it yet. n/t

[Hissyspit]

66. "12 Monkeys" is fantastic. Pay attention to it while you watch. And...

THEN watch the short film it is based on:

"La Jetee" from 1962. It is told entirely through black and white stills. You can find it on YouTube.

THEN: Read this webpage - http://www.sff.net/people/rothman/12_monkeys.htp

[WorseBeforeBetter]

57. "Waltz with Bashir" (n/t)

[Hissyspit]

61. That's in my queue.

[unpossibles]

58. The Squid & The Whale, Rudo Y Cursi, and Cashback

enjoyed all three.

[Hissyspit]

62. Saw Squid and Whale in the theatre.

Cashback looks interesting.

[TicketyBoo]

60. I shouldn't,

but I buy instead of rent.

DVDs are taking over the house.

This past week, I received The Waitress, Hitch (love romantic comedies), and the A&E two-hour biography of Irving Berlin.

[Hissyspit]

63. My money goes to CDs.

Love music of all kind. Have some valuable out-of-print ones in my collection, too.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

64. I just watched the Flukeman episode of X-Files ("The Host").

As far as movies, it was the fantasy/action flick "Reign of Fire".

I watch the streaming films on a laptop while working out. Serious cinema doesn't work as well as horror, action, gangster flicks and escapist Michael Bay type crap. I do watch the other kind of film too, just not as frequently.

[GreenPartyVoter]

69. Last DVD: "Valkyrie," Last Instant Watch: "The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising"

[Hissyspit]

77. Valkyrie is in my queue, too.

Not a big fan of Tom Cruise, though.

[txwhitedove]

70. Monarch of the Glen, season 7 disc 1, Scottish BBC series.

Sending for last disc of the series this week. Love the stories, characters, accents, music....

Last streamig was I've Loved You So Long, In the Line of Fire, and Seraphine.

[Jokerman]

72. Drool

http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Drool/70121099?trkid=496751

"After beginning an unexpected romance with her neighbor, Imogene (Jill Marie Jones), housewife Anora (Laura Harring) accidentally shoots her abusive husband, Ched (Oded Fehr), and then sets out on an outrageous road trip with her new lover and kids to dispose of the corpse. Nancy Kissam writes and directs this unpredictable romantic comedy that also stars Ashley Duggan Smith and Christopher Newhouse as Anora's children"

Not a great movie, but it had an interesting story line and some fun scenes. Over all, we enjoyed it.

[deutsey]

73. District 9

I've only been able to watch the first part of it. It's odd but interesting so far.

[Inchworm]

74. Sparticus: Blood and Sand was my last instant

I'm not sure if I'm going to add the last episode to my DVD list.

I have The Uninvited and Gentleman Broncos to watch tonight if I don't drink or visit too much :P

Eagle Eye and Post Grad were my previous two.

It is hard for me to find a movie I actually do not like. I try to stay in the 2000s as far as movies I have delivered because chances are, if it was a good movie, I've seen it. There's nothing worse than having popcorn and beer all ready for a movie you don't want to watch again.

:hi:

[Inchworm]

76. Dang... I may miss them

Had a visitor today with beer... expecting more.

...hic!

:beer:

[one_voice]

82. I'm so into this series..

I hope it lasts longer than HBO's Rome.

[SCantiGOP]

75. Breaker Morant

An Australian movie about what most people identify as the first guerrilla war- the Boer War in South Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. It is in my opinion it has one of the most effective anti-war and anti-militaristic themes of any movie. I had seen it twice but my sister was visiting and had never seen it.

[Hissyspit]

78. I've seen it before, too. Great stuff.

Edward Woodward died in November. Good way to honor him.

Boer War was when the British invented the modern concentration camp, too, I believe.

[Spacemom]

83. My last 2 movies

House Season 1 Disc 6

and

God Grew Tired of Us - It's a documentary about the Sudanese "Lost Boys." Heartbreaking and Heartwarming all at the same time. Highly recommended.

[meeshrox]

84. Just got Breasts: A Documentary yesterday...

Haven't watched yet! :)

[Hissyspit]

85. Let us know!

:)

[JonLP24]

86. Clockers

[Tikki]

87. Ah ha, "Things To Come"...finally made it to our door...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Things_to_Come

Got to love Raymond Massey...dude looked young and old all the time.


The Tikkis

[mochajava666]

88. The King of Comedy

The one before that was Breaking Bad season 1, disk 1.

Both were great.

[NJmaverick]

89. The Enemy Below
