Best Netflix Instant recommends

Sign in to disble this ad
First off, the streaming service is the bees knees. I have a Roku HD on my big screen and a Wii for my smaller flat screen. Makes me almost want to ditch cable. Here are my instant streaming recommends:

Dexter seasons 1 & 2
Werewolf - Mystery Science Theater 3000
Waiting for Guffman
Black Adder 2
Law Abiding Citizen

There's loads of good documentaries on there - lots of the BBC David Attenborough wildlife stuff, including The Blue Planet. The man is a legend in documentary filmmaking.

Futurama
Panic (I think that's the name. William H. Macy and Donald Sutherland. Very cool)
Monty Python's Flying Circus (every episode is on there!)
Comedy Central Presents (Also every episode, makes it real easy to find something funny when you're bored)


I can't remember most of the movies I've watched so far, but I'll be watching this thread intently.

Lots of great documentaries as mentioned. Man on Wire, Attenborough stuff galore, etc.

Seasons 1-12 of South Park

Lots of cool stand-up specials - My faves are
Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale
Demetri Martin - Person
Eddie Izzard - Dress to Kill
Doug Stanhope - No Refunds
and several others

A ton of great movies and TV/cable series come and go through there.

"King of the Hill"

"Southpark"

"X-Files"

"Alfred Hitchcock Presents"


If you are interested in tech, "Revolution OS" and "Welcome to Macintosh" are both very good.

.....not a film for the squemish...it's gross, but a very good doc on body mods

We watched all of the Weeds episodes also, but we found it only takes about three months to watch almost everything we were intrested in, and now have moved on to utorrents.

Anybody know when Season 6 of the Office will be available for streaming? Does Netflix release that information at all?

For anyone with an iPhone, the Netflix app was released today. The app is free, and uses your existing Netflix account. Now you can watch your favorite shows while waiting in the car line

Just started Top Gear series 12. Somewhere along the line Netflix dropped the ball since I've seen series 10 but don't recall ever seeing series 11 on instant.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex if you're into anime. Check out the BBC mini-series Jekyll too that was really interesting.
