Every one that I watched were inferior formula flicks.
Actually they are not completely free because there are advertisements.
Even Netflix leaves a lot to be desired. I may go back to get season 4 of better call saul and catch up on some old movies.
Just getting DVDs from Netflix may be the way to go.

Just got back on Netflix after 5 or 6 years. Seems to have a few that I like, especially BCS. When I get my fill, I'll just cancel.

'Battle Creek Season 1' on Netflix. My favorite show, great actors in the lead roles, terrific chemistry.
I watched 'Battle for L.A.' last night and it was an entertaining action flic.

for the shoutout! Having them in one handy list makes rewatching hard to resist.
I'd add the superb, "The Interview" to the list, as well as:
"The Wild Pear Tree."
"Kaili Blues."
"Long Days Journey into Night," (the Chinese film, not the O'Neill play).
"An Elephant Sitting Still."
"Ash is Purest White."
These last five are completely original art works...
As good a recommendation as I've gotten off this page in a while. Almost never leaves the interview room but suspense enuf to have been a major studio Oscar winning whodunnit. The suspect and interrogator deserved Oscar nominations for lead and support.

"E Burres Stigano?"
These are brilliant recommendations. I need to give Long Days journey another try. It left me a bit wanting. Wild Pear Tree is excellent and to that I would also add Ceylan's other movies Winter Sleep and my personal favorite Once upon a time in Anatolia.
It helps a bit to have gotten used to the director's very original style first in, "Kaili Blues." Also, LDJIN is set in the same area/town and some characters are the same.The director is a poet and some of his poetry is read during the film. That's a key to enjoying his films: it's all about the feeling and mood that the images, sound, and words convey. He explores the strange area between immediate experience, memory, and dream. A totally unique film style that does take some effort to understand but paradoxically then must be experienced through relaxation of the usual narrative exercise.
There is a split in the film that cleverly occurs in a theater. The film really should be experienced (as I did at a film festival) with 3D glasses: the last hour is one long take done in that medium.
Like "Burning," the brilliant S. Korean film, the films of Bi Gan must be viewed several times.
"Black Coal, Thin Ice" is yet another excellent Chinese film. Lastly, "An Elephant Sitting Still:" more traditional in its storytelling, perhaps, but 4 stories weaved together so cleverly they feel as one.

I googled it and found at least 4 films with that title.

"E Burres Stigano?"
I saw it twice and couldn't tell if the guy was guilty. He certainly manipulated the examiners at some risk to himself. An expert examiner could have gotten him to reveal some important details if the crime was committed or at least caught him lying.

I know you're a fan of the Danish(?) Funny Games original but give Hanerke's(sp?) scene for scene American remake a chance. Damned, damned, disturbing.
----------------------
"E Burres Stigano?"
I found out about this site only a few days ago. So far, we've watched only a dramatic production of Boris Godunov (as a drama - not the opera - pretty good, I thought, although I kept thinking of Mussorgsky's music in the opera, which is way superior to the original music composed specifically for this film - LOL!), and I watched half of the documentary, "Russian Jews - Part 3". No commercials so far, but there were some hiccups with getting the playback to start on some of them (such as Russian Jews, Parts 1 and 2).
I'm sure Victor will be along soon to warn us about how awful these movies are - but maybe that's a good thing. It could save us some time watching dross! Of course, one man's dross is another man's gold, so. . . ;-)
But it's a lot of work to find them.
With PRIME when you highlight a movie, you can scroll down to see what "others
have also watched" which is helpful as a guide (IF you enjoyed the movie) plus
you can keep scrolling down and see most all the films (or TV) roles the actors
have been in AND other films by the director.
It's a great feature/resource. Then just add it to your watchlist.
You can likely continue into infinity doing this until you find something worth watching.
Believe me, I know.
But first finish BCS - one of the best series ever.

For them scratching they heads
BCS - Better Call Saul
BB - Breaking Bad
Damn that Lalo Salamanca is a good heavy.

Built a whole storyline in BCS from this throwaway line in BB.
