You are right there. Unless you have endless hours for US 'boxed sets', the movie choice is lacking, and will get worse now a deal with some studios has finished or due to finish. I cancelled my Netflix earlier this month, and now just use Amazon on a pay as you watch basis. Like Blockbuster, without the travel to the shop.For me Netflix is about the TV content, not the movies.
The only thing I can think of that might appeal is Sabotage, featuring a really old and haggard Schwarzenegger. Nasty and brutal, but the best he's done for ages.No not being ironic, but I find myself in same position as you wading through for 20 minutes then giving up - hence the thread there must be some good stuff across the 2 providers.
I tend to like:
Good sci-fi (but I don't think they make it anymore?) Blade Runner, Alien, 2001, The empire strikes back etc
All the usual stuff in no particular order and off the top of my head - Fargo, Casino, Goodfellows, LA Confidential, Lawrence of Arabia, Apocalypse Now, Annie Hall, Manhattan, The Road, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Schindlers List, Close Encounters of the third kind, Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Godfather, The Apartment, Schindlers List, The Dark Knight, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Some like it hot, Pulp fiction, lots of others!
I watched Black Book last night and it's a great film about NAZI occupation of Holland and the lead actress was superb.
