Not sure what Netflix is, but... I just ordered John Woo's Hardboiled from Amazon. It's a great movie and I can't wait to re-watch it.
Otherwise... Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Downfall (Der Untergang), Pan's Labyrinth, The Professional (aka Leon), and Planet Terror are some good ones you don't hear about everyday.

Netflix is an internet rental website. You give them your address and pay a monthly fee and you can have X number of DVDs shipped to you where X is the amount you pay monthly. The value comes with how much you watch. As for the movie suggestions. I actually own the Professional, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Pan's Labyrinth, so you're on the right track. And, have good taste in movies in my opinion I'll have to check the others out! ThanksSturmdolch said:
Alot less of those I have seen. I will have to check these out. I have never seen seven. that's the problem with Netflix, it's a kid in a HUGE candy shop. No matter how many rare, exotic, and otherwise delicious candy there is, I go for the Hershey's bar.D Bones said:
Both of those are AWESOME movies. Wow, I think i might be getting to a never-ending list of netflix movies if I can keep this going.IdealistCommi said:
Chrysalis and Immortal are some good, scifi french movies.
Let's see... The Horseman on the Roof is good, (also French) and um...
If you haven't seen the show Weeds, Pushing Daisies, or Dead Like Me yet, you really should. Also, if you know anyone in healthcare, you'll get a kick out of Nurse Jackie.
There's also The Fall, which is just visually stunning, and features Charles Darwin kicking ass.
I'm trying to think of things you've probably not seen before, but my taste in movies may be too girly for you, probably. Still, the ones I've posted here are above average movies, if not to your taste.

just get every movie by Wes Anderson and just go on a binge.
That or really just pick out crazy things that look kind of interesting, then weed through the final list.

Don't know if it's available, but you should check out "The Gods Must Be Crazy" if you haven't seen it.
I'm just gonna name an array of genres and movies I like or are at least interesting (I'm also going to avoid most fairly recent movies, as I am assuming you have seen most of them):
