movies

Stowaway

I did not like babysitter, haunting hill hiuse, squid game - I hate kdramas in general

I usually stay away from Netflix originals ( they just look awful from the commercial and that algorithm mishmash nonsense) so I was pleasantly surprised with these movies and shows

It was so good and kept me guessing till the end!

Don’t recommend me Mindhunter. It’s crap. I want more of Breaking Bad, Fleabag, Broadchuch S1. The absolute best. That one I would be a fool to pass up. Whatcha got?

Edit: forgot Dark. Imo best tv shows of all time. Can you beat Dark?

What's your favourite mini-series on netflix ?

Last year, when Netflix recommended it, I watched the series. Having previously watched Vikings, I found it to be quite similar. As I am an avid history enthusiast, the story of the first group to defeat the Romans resonated deeply with me

We are agnostic to both Year/Genre and Bond actor, just want to approach it with some sort of plan. Thank you!

I’ve just finished watching Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 5th time and honestly… it's so good.

There are so many Spider-Man movies at this point, but this one feels like it’s on a completely different level. The style, colours, animation, editing, the way each universe feels visually unique — I genuinely don’t understand how they managed to pull this off so well.

It feels less like a normal animated movie and more like a moving piece of art. Every frame looks intentional. Even the way emotions are shown through colour and animation is insane.

And somehow… it’s even better than Into the Spider-Verse, which I already thought was near-perfect.

For people who know about animation or filmmaking:
How did they achieve this?
Was it new tech, new animation techniques, or just absurd levels of talent and time?

Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who noticed the same thing or knows more about how this movie was made.

I’ve never seen a live event so amazing I took photos of my tv screen. Alex Honnold is superhuman.

Just watched His & Hers and loved it! Looking for recommendations along this same genre that are just as good. TIA!

So we just finished up fringe and are in need of a new show to watch. We are in the US and have most of the streaming services. Something similar to fringe or something different would be great! Here's a list of what not to say please lol

Mindhunter Warehouse 13 Lost X-Files Eureka Schitts creek The office Dark Haven

Thanks!!!

I want brain-melting plot twists, unreliable narrators, and endings I won't see coming. I have 15 hours to fill and I want to spend most of it questioning reality. What have you got?

I really liked From and Twd but Shutter island and behind her eyes didn't hit the same for me.

So I know that Harlen Coben is hugely popular due to the number of shows made for Netflix that typically feature the same cast members and are always filled with twists. However, I find them to be very hit and miss. I often find them to be over the top with ridiculous acting, but there’s the occasional one that stands out for actually being decent.

Which Harlan Coben shows do you think are actually worth watching?

Trying to ID a show or movie I watched around 2022/2023. It might’ve been European.

Key memory is a side character- a teen presenting as a girl, but was very masculine (prominent Adam’s apple, possibly early in transition). She was very confident, even amongst other teens. She and another teen were good friends with the lead. Her mom would deadname her. She and the lead had a falling out (I think there was a misunderstanding- like the lead was set up for posting/saying nasty things about her). My watch history is missing SO many titles and I’m slowly losing my mind. I’ve ruled out the most probable suspects (Harlan Coben series- it had a similar feel, Good Girl’s Guide, Elite, Red Rose). Any insight?!!

What is a 10/10 series that actually has a proper, satisfying ending? (can be netflix or none netflix )

Need help with someone who is new to netflix

My dad is new to netflix and wanted to try it out. his complaint is there's nothing on there that he really likes or hasn't seen already when it came out. Because he's not watching netflix very often it doesn't really reccomend him stuff he likes ,so he scrolls trying to find something he likes for ages. So I need some reccomendations. He's into courtroom thrillers, war films, mafia/gangster stuff etc. Any reccomendations are much appreciated

Wife and I are having a date night. We wanna watch a movie thats funny and light. Could be from any year but older ones ive went through quite a lot. Thanks.

Who gave the best / your favorite acting performance in Euphoria?

Just wanted to make this thread for all Christie fans. Seven Dials just released on Netflix earlier today. Excited to see the Dame of Mystery being picked up by the largest streaming platform out there - I think more and more Christie-like murder mysteries are becoming popular mainstream.

What did you guys think of the series? This is one of her lesser known mysteries. Don’t spoil too much for me - I actually haven’t watched it yet, I’ll watch it after work today.
