What Movies Should I Put on My Netflix List????

I posted this in the wrong place. I'm still learning my way around here.

I'm a Netflix junkie! And since I'm a teacher and off for the summer, I've had plenty of time to log a lot of movies each night after DS goes to bed and DH falls asleep on the couch--I'll never understand why he doesn't just go to bed....I think he just enjoys being in the same room with me.

Anyway, I would say out of all the movies I've watched this summer so far my favorites are Deja Vu and The Holiday.

Soooo, what are you most recent favs? I need to add some more movies to my list on Netflix.

My all time favorite obscure Netflix movie is Kolya- the backstory- Kolya is the Russian diminutive of Nikolai and our son is adopted from Russia. Even now when I need him to focus, rather than saying, "Nikolai", I say, "Kolya!" and he snaps to attention.

It's a Czech movie-fully subtitled. It just demonstrates the basic BS that every average Russian has to go through, even now. but it's a happy movie at it's core.

and the little boy who plays Kolya is nearly identical to my Kolya. another reason why I love it so.

We recently watched The Painted Veil and both DH and I enjoyed it. It is a drama. It is a little slow at times but I have a thing for movies filmed in China. Are you looking for a particular genre? We mostly watch dramas/action (that's for DH). Recently we have watched: Letters from Iwa Jima, Flags of our Fathers, Breach, Apocalypto, Alpha Dog, Dreamgirls, The Last King of Scotland, and Lucky Number Slevin. I enjoyed all of these. I didn't really care for The Good Shepard (too slow and I am not a big Matt fan) or You, Me, and Dupree (Wilson's nose bugs me). The Queen was very slow but I found it intesting. Catch and Release was kind of a cute movie too.
My all time favorite comedy that I can watch over and over again is 40 year old Virgin. Happy Netflixing....

I like comedies and thrillers mostly. I do want to see The Queen. I need to add that to my list. It's probably a good movie to watch when DH is on-call. I doubt he'll want to watch it...but sometimes he surprises me!

The Boondock Saints

I have never seen this movie but it is some of DH's fraternity brothers' favorite movie. In the past, I have heard references to this movie a gagilion times. Let me know if it is any good.

The Boondock Saints

One of DH's favorite movies. I've seen it several times and it's very good, but too gory to make my list.

Oh, some of the movies we've seen recently...

The Queen
V for Vendetta
Little Children

Suzanne and I will happily hang out at our imaginary Art Film theater in the semi-dicey neighborhood with all of the artistes and film nerds.

Thanks for all the great movie suggestions!

We just saw the Last King of Scotland. It was excellent. We also just watched Letters to Ima Jima, which was surprisingly very good. I usually hate war movies. Little Children was not as good as I thought it would be.

We have decided to cancel our cable and upgrade the Netflix membership. I'm loving the Netflix, hating the TV!

My last three:

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Deja Vu
Breach

And I strongly, strongly concur on Arrested Development.

Netflix rocks for staying entertained while the significant other is off doing medical things.
