A thread to recommend decent movies on Netflix / Amazon Prime?

Jessica Jones is back.

Be still my beating heart.

I thought I’d seen all of the first two seasons. Just checked and I still have the last four episodes of season two to watch! Wonder what happened there?

Maybe you swooned and had amnesia?

Stephen

 

[garyi]

Maybe because it was so utterly boring you left the last four?

 

[Wolfmancatsup]

Two likely scenarios there, although I'm tending more to Stephen's suggestion!

Has anyone already mentioned NOS4A2.
I wasn't convinced at first but it turned out quite well.
Binge watched it on the dodgy streamers.

Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese - Netflix 12th of June.

As a fan of his Bobness I’m looking forward to this.

Have just finished it - excellent. Though we watched it in chunks, as it is a bit long. The moment when Joni Mitchell sings Coyote is absolutely extraordinary. It took me years to realise what an incredible artist she is.

Have only watched two or three of the latest Black Mirror, I'm not keen on the ambiguous/cut to black screen endings, I hope they're all not like it. I know you're supposed to be all creative and imagine the ending for yourself but I'm a bit OCD and prefer a definitive ending, seems a bit of a cop out.

There are only three it seems. Plus Bandersnatch a few months ago. I quite liked them. Bit of nine inch nails at the end of the last one.

I've seen up to and including the Miley Cyrus one, is that it then?

 

[Swamp Thing]

Yep. That's yer lot mate.

Black Mirror is entertaining enough.

But it’s basically Ballard and Dick for those who don’t read SF.

If you like BM you might also like Love, Death and Robots (mentioned earlier in the thread.)

Not new but excellent John Romer Ancient Lives Documentaries on you tube If you like Egyptology these are about as good as it gets.

Spacewalkers on Prime, mildly romanticised account of the Leonov spacewalk but rather good.

Excellent, added that one to the watch next list. I’d highly recommend Salyut 7, also on Prime, if you’ve not seen it. An amazing film!

Stranger Things season 3 is out now for those who have not seen it its about a group of kids in small town america and a monster that comes to prey upon them. Good fun with great characters.
Also watching Deutschland 83 which looks promising

 

[Bob McC]

Binged all of Designated Survivor 3 and started Stranger Things 3.

 

[stephen bennett]

ST3 is looking great. Superb music too.

Just finishing last episode of ST as we speak......

 

[Mongeddavid]

I thought it was great as usual

Tuca and Bertie on Netflix looks to be shaping up nicely, very interesting take on anthropomorphic birds with arms (and boobs) — from the production company that brought us Bojack Horseman. It’s more lightweight as well.

Liking Legion Season 3 (final season too, no attempt to milk it) on Fox, superbly surreal. If you read comics, The New Hellions make an appearance albeit as a bunch of stoner hippies — and no “Catseye” and the time traveler, Switch is a girl this time round. Bill Siencewicz is one of my favourite comic book artists and hugely influences my own observations of line and form, and it’s good to see Legion continue the same in terms of cinematography.
