Outwatch – Outqueue – Outrecommend
January 7th, 2009 | by mmb5 |I have a problem. My Netflix queue is dry. And I can’t think of anything to add. And this is where you can help.
I would like to introduce Netflix Survivor. Simply recommend a movie that you think I would like to see in the comments. If I haven’t seen it, I will add it to the queue. If I like it (i.e.: I give it 3 or more stars), you can add another. If I don’t, you’re out. If I’ve already seen the movie, I’ll tell you and give you a new selection. Last person who is still giving me recommendations wins.
Here’s what I’ve seen so far and my ratings to help you out:
5 stars: Nothing
4 stars: Iron Man; Forgetting Sarah Marshall; Freedom’s Fury, An American Crime; Walk the Line; Life and Times of Hank Greenberg; Little Miss Sunshine; Into the Wild; Enron: The Smartest Guy in the Room
3 stars: Bon Cop, Bad Cop; Baby Mama; The Kid Stays in the Picture; Dodgeball; Donnie Darko; Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession; Good Night and Good Luck; Shaun of the Dead
2 stars: Fesitval Express; Helevitica; Idiocracy
This will only be movies, no TV shows. Either this will help me tremendously, or everyone will ignore this and I will feel sad. Your call.

Midnight Run

Try a movie called “Frozen River.” It’s about Mohawk smuggling across the St. Lawrence River–by car, over the ice. Works as sheer suspense, but there’s a lot to it.

Phil:
I’ve actually seen Midnight Run — and shockingly in a theater — so you get another pick. In fact, I still eraser test dollar bills from time to time.

Based on your Enron pick, I’m going with Barbarians at the Gate:

Do you use the “litnus confligeration”, as so eloquently said by Jack Walsh, when testing the money?

Interstate 60. Takes a bit to get going and a bit schmaltzy at the end, but the middle is great.
