I second this. It was a good horror flick with a twist.

John Dies at the End is also available. I thought it was entertaining but didn't knock my socks off. Think the "thing invading the body" genre has been a bit overdone.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins is up. One of my favorite movies of the '80s. Joel Grey is awesome in this.

The action scene by Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
the Statue of Liberty
is amazing. Too bad it's not in HD. If it was available on Blu I'd pick this up in a minute.

The action piece on the Statue of Liberty is not a spoiler in fact it's featured on the movie poster. The scene combines actual footage shot around the Statue of Liberty with a replica of the Statue's torso, head and arm built in Mexico. That said the movie is an entertaining piece of 80's cheese, more nostalgic than anything else. YMMV.

I wish this was better considering the hype.

Has anyone thought about including Amazon Prime Instant here?

It's a fun movie in the style of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" and "Big Trouble in Little China", two more of my alltime favorite films.

That would be a great idea. I wish the majority of the films they add were NOT mediocre animated kiddie shows (Bob The Builder, etc.).

May as well start a new thread....maybe the NOT Netflix instant streaming thread....where would you draw the line with all the various streaming services?

A few I had been planning on recommending ..

30 for 30: Broke .. how rich athletes quickly go broke after retirement

Beauty Is Embarrassing .. a great story on Wayne White who you probably never heard of but know

Lay the Favorite ..

This Must Be the Place .. just a great, off beat Sean Penn performance

Copper .. an excellent BBC 1800's crime series

Why are you shouting? The battery on your hearing aid go out? tongue.gif

That 30 for 30:Broke episode was pretty good. I had rented the disc for Lay the Favorite but waay too much centered on gambling to keep my interest. Have Beauty Is Embarassing in queue, will check out This Must Be the Place, don't think I've seen that.

Although the battery is a little low, if I really wanted to shout, I'd have put it all in caps .. wink.gif ..

Maybe I need a new bifocal script as well .. eek.gif

Speaking of which The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension is available (and has been since March 2012), expiring on June 1st. No HD or 5.1 sound (though it's Super HD in the UK region). Excellent, quirky action adventure sci-fi spoof starring Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd and Jeff Goldblum, all 29 years younger smile.gif.

Strange that no one's mentioned it in this thread and that I missed it being added. I'd have watched if I'd known. I still have the chance smile.gif.

Maybe change the title of the thread to "Streaming Gems and Finds?"

If we're voting, I'd just as soon leave this thread as is ..

But it might make sense to start a new thread called "Streaming Gems and Finds / Amazon / HULU

I would think that Amazon and HULU would be #2 and #3 on the popularity chart ..

A 3-pack Blu-ray release containing all 3 of these films would be nice, with updated audio and re-mastered video of course!

Obviously a minority perspective, but as these forums are used by residents outside of the US, where Amazon Prime is not available, keeping this Netflix only would be beneficial to international users of the forums and this thread.

Buckaroo and Little China are Fox. Remo is Orion (don't know if they still exist or who owns them now.)

If anybody want a good laugh, check out HottieBoombaLottie.

It's kinda an Indie flik that's sooo awkward, it's funny.

It's also in SuperHD and 5.1!

They seem fairly alive to me. Also see this; they have 28 film projects in development. They did file for bankruptcy protection in 2010 but survived as a corporation, emerging from bankruptcy after some restructuring.

Dinotasia was pretty good if you enjoy the CGI dino documentary flicks.

Crawl is a good Australian thriller (apparently the people who rated it don't like Ozzie films). There's some nice cinematography as well as I like the soundtrack (since it wasn't overpowering or playing all the time).
