The Netflix Streaming Recommendation Thread
Please use this thread to share the awesome things you found on Netflix's streaming service ONLY. Doesn't matter if it's episodes of a recent TV series or the complete collection of an old one, a just-released documentary, an ancient silent film or a classic epic... as long as it streams, and you liked it, post it! Thanks!  I'm a documentary fanatic, so going forward you'll get a lot of doccos from moi. Resurrect Dead: Mystery of Toynbee Tiles. A great documentary on the mysterious tiles found embedded in the pavement in various parts of the US (and some as far as South America). Aaltra. A pitch-black Scandinavian "comedy" about two deeply unpleasant characters who almost immediately become deeply unpleasant wheelchair-bound characters. And Everything Is Going Fine. Steven Soderbergh's awesome tribute to/biography of the late monologuist/actor Spalding Gray, told, appropriately, entirely in SG's own words. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth. Stunning, deeply affecting doc on the infamous St. Louis housing projects, told primarily via recollections from former residents.

No--it's not a fetish flick... It's a documentary/Interview with 2 weekend mountain climbers from England who decide to climb a mountain face that NEVER been successfully traversed. It's a story of incredible survival instinct. And that's not a spoiler--they interview the 2 dudes from the start, so you know they make it. But you are still left wondering HOW they made it... If you like quirky, witty TV, try Better Off Ted. Jul 06 12 10:52 am Link Castaway On The Moon. One of the best films I have seen. Wonderfully done. War Of The Arrows. The Chaser.
