Movie Recs?

[persephone33]

My Netflix queue is getting alarmingly low.  Anyone seen any movies that they thing I ought to see?  Keep in mind, I've seen next to nothing at the theatre this year.

I like comedies, dramas, romantic comedies, historical dramas, period pieces...  and Nolan likes stuff with car chases, explosions and shootouts.

We don't agree on much, cinematically.  :)

Stick with us, and your queue will be full in no time. :D As for new movies, check these out:

No Country for Old Men - Intense and exciting!

American Gangster - A very good story with interesting characters.

Both meet the violence factor that Nolan wants plus the character interaction that you want. For that reason, they're almost perfect movies. ^_^

Here are some great TV series that you can get from Netflix:

The Barchester Chronicles - This has Alan Rickman in his younger days as a smarmy, self-serving chaplain. A must-see for his fans.

Jewel in the Crown - If you love history, drama, and romance, I guarantee you'll enjoy this film. Worth every minute.

I, Claudius - Another historical piece, this one is full of drama, intrigue, betrayal, and murder. And that's just among the relatives. ;) It was on Masterpiece Theatre 30 years ago and has John Hurt (Mr. Ollivander in the HP series) as Caligula. One of his best performances ever, and that's saying something.
