Netflix queue is beginning to run low... dangerously low, considering that they had suddenly picked up the speed - they used to go at 3 movies per week, now they seem to be going at 5 to 7 per week clip - so need more titles!I have been paying attention to most recommendations here, but surely missed some...
Please - just throw randomly a few titles in my direction! Whatever good comes to your mind!
C'mon, guys... nothing worse than having time and no good film on hands!
Things like Eastern European, Asian, African, even American will be considered!
Little Dieter Needs to Fly: about a German who emigrates to the US and becomes a very distinguished pilot, amassing an amazing record in Vietnam aerial combat.
Bright Future.
Cure.

Maborosi (I think your wife especially will enjoy this one, from what you've posted of her tastes)
I may have been redundant.
That was good for five more - great! BTW - do you keep lists or just do it from memory? I am prone to quickly forgetting titles, and sometimes only reading the content brings back memories. I have been thinking about starting a journal with quick notes... old farts need to be organized.
I keep a list for non-Netflix films. The synopses of Net films sufficiently jars the memory.
Only five?
I'm hurt ;-#^)
Well, I rejected a couple due to their violence content - my wife hates those. IIRC one or two were also not available.
or, heaven forbid, ALONE!
The Pusher films and the Oldboy trilogies are violent but not gratuitously so.
Anyhow, I didn't mention two really revolutionary films because of their unavailabilty through Netflix. They are film landmarks: "God and the Devil in the Land of the Sun;" "Terra em Transe" ("Land in Crisis"; "Entranced Land").
Will keep my eyes open for those other two.

Warning: it has one of modern film's most graphic sequences but which I'd argue is necessary to the true depiction of a crime boss.

Out on R2. Sorry, but worth the wait :-)
and then Peter Jackson's, King Kong. I recommend watching each at least twice before returning the discs.
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
Do you think if I simply put nothing but LoTR into my queue, into all 100 spots, they would put me in a mad house?Or gave me official faux lather pants?
Little Otik - very bizarre, disturbing little Czech fantasy.

...is an Inuit "storytelling" captured on film. Those who know this culture better than I admonish against calling this a "movie" about indigenous human life in a frozen world. It's certainly not a documentary. Nor can it be called a fiction.Produced, directed and acted by (largely amateur) natives, this is an absolutely unique look at one of the most foreign and distinctive aboriginal environments in the world. Survival in this white, deadly cold, desert of ice and snow depends on the keeping of strange customs of relationship - relationship between sexes, between enemies and friends, between generations, between man and animal, between fact and myth, between the physical and spirit worlds.
There is much to be learned watching this. Highly recommended.
in a long time.
Both, highly recommended.
Don't even know if Netflix carries it. With your world renown tolerance of opposing political views, I think you'd appreciate this liberal flick about a group of Aussie laborites who've assembled to watch results of the national election on the tele. Of course the conservative whipping boy is there to take some shots. Don is the only lump of charcoal at the party. Everyone else are very interesting. Somewhat thought provoking, not completly predictable, and some honest interactions. Pretty good party too come to think of it.
"E Burres Stigano"
I think I have seen this one, but just the same, added.
Underground - Yugoslavian war farce, with deadly and beautiful fantasy edge.Kinamand - Danish cross-cultural love story that just gets it right. Being sad never felt so good.
Rivers and Tides - Documentary of Scottish "time artist", Andy Goldsworthy. Beautiful to look at and a genuine inspiration.
Mountain Patrol - Tibetan story of volunteer rangers struggling to save a native antelope. An Eastern wild-west story.
Devil On The Doorstep - Astonishing story of the madness that erupted during the Japanese occupation's retreat from China.
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story - English film within a film within a.....cheek? They do this kind of thing so well.
Oasis - A crippled Korean love story.
Grey Gardens - American documentary about a deeply co-dependent mother and daughter whose lives and home are in obvious and oblivious decay. They also just happen to be close relatives of Jackie O.
The Machinist - Christian Bale LOST sixty pounds to play an insomniac in this psycho-thriller. No sleep for a full year does strange things to a man's body and mind. Especially given the circumstances of the point from which he began.

This biography examines his fascinating life, from his childhood in rural Kentucky to his rise as a politician and his presidential campaign. The film chronicles Lincoln's actions during the Civil War, as well as his depression and marital problems.
Thank you, pulled the Bookie out of your list, the rest either had seen or are familiar with... by the Face you mean the Kazan's film, I am sure? Might as well look at it again.
Yes Victor - I was pretty sure you saw good portion of my suggestions but I wanted you to get an idea of my tastes and our movie compatibility.Yes, "Face In the Crowd" is the Kazan film.
Hope you enjoy "The Killing of a ..."
