GOOD Netflix Movies Thread! Find quality Streaming movies!
POLL: Do you think Netflix should broaden it's movie library to include better and newer titles and shows?
 Yes.
 No.
 They should make a tiered pay system, you can add more money to get newer and higher quality films.
 It is fine the way it is.
 They should make the movie browsing/finding experience faster and easier to use.

Hello everyone! :D

When I go on Netflix, I always end up scrolling for hours through corny and B movies, eventually ending up with a movie that is just for entertainment value.

This thread will be dedicated to this problem; if you have found a movie worth watching that steams instantly on Netflix, leave it on this thread and I will edit it into the main post so everyone can see it easier.

I will root through this thread every once in awhile and root out movies that have been removed from instant streaming service on Netflix.

Thanks to user AnotherOne, you can use this website instead of this thread:

Enjoy! Here are a few that are good that I have seen:

TV (Tell Lie Vision :P) Shows:
Lost - This is a TV show that I highly recommend everyone watches. It is a very good show, you WILL be hooked on it, endlessly watching it for days.
Good characters, good story line, and all around the only TV show that I have found worth watching to the end. Truly great show. Some people seem lose interest around seasons 4+, but it is still good.

Prison Break - This show was good, I did not finish the entire thing but it is good entertainment and decently written. "Will they escape?" is the main driving point psychologically, and it is pretty intense throughout.

Jericho - THIS SHOW IS NOT BEING PRODUCED ANYMORE.
A decent show that is quite doom-filled, caters well to GLP audience. The first season or so of the show is pretty good, but it has been taken off the air and production has stopped, so the show will not end if you choose to watch it.

The X Files - Classic show that everyone using this website is sure to have watched and studied, everything from UFOs to near death experiences, creatures and monsters galore, the show follows federal agents Fox and Scully as they solve so called "X files" and travel in search of the ultimate truth.

Movies

Terminator (1 & 2) [5 stars] - Very good classic action movies, these are really great. The 2nd one is on Netflix streaming, the first one is not.

The Thing [5 stars] - This movie is great, the 1982 remake of it is available on Netflix streaming, the 2011 version and the old original versions are not. The movie is psychologically gripping, and the monster is original and very scary. Well worth your time to watch.

The Grey [3 stars] - While this movie has a LOT of unessecary foul language, it is gripping and intense. It is also highly unrealistic and the ending is just "meh..." It is intense, entertaining and has good CGI, but that is about it.

Will add more, thanks to anyone who adds some!

Re: GOOD Netflix Movies Thread! Find quality Streaming movies!
Just cancelled Netflix a few days ago, and yes, we got tired of sifting through movies trying to find a good one.

They need to have a rating system that everyone can see what everyone else has voted for, with comments. Other places do this like Redbox, although you can never 100% trust the ratings, it is a great start!

With us it always seemed that everything we wanted to watch was by mail only, even old shit wasn't streaming. Just got tired of it.

Goodbye Netflix.

Thanks for reminding me of the X Files, that is a good show and caters to GLP quite well, haha :D

I used to use Netflix to watch some series and films, but I noticed they haven't had much in the last year in the way of new, quality stuff. They used to be pretty good, it's a shame.

I think one of the last things I watched on there was Red Dwarf, most of the seasons, I'm not sure if it's still on there, though. hf

Hooked on Dr. Who on netflix right now. Seems like netflix streaming is best for catching entire TV shows that you want to watch. I don't watch TV normally, but I will watch the occasional show on netflix.

I have Roku on my T.V however if you want to order a Movie on Amazon which they have a better selection than Netflix they are like 14.99! forget it, I broke down the other night and watched Flight with Denzel Washington for 4.99 on demand..

it was okay..He plays a rip roaring alcoholic in the movie, however paying to watch movies all the time is crazy!

My daughter likes the series "Sherlock" which is available on Netflix, I've heard it's pretty good, haven't watched it yet, though.

Oh yes, Sherlock is excellent. I'm also a big fan of the old Jeremy Brett "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" which is also on there.
