Recommend me a Netflix movie or two...

Ready - Set - GO

Difficulty, I've already recently seen Captain America and Act of Valor. Hint, if you've not seen Act of Valor, I highly recommend it. The actING leaves much to be desired, but the actION is fantastic. Keep in mind that the actors aren't actors and it shows.

Cocaine Cowboys if you've not seen it. It's a documentary. Very interesting

 

[sharkey]

True Grit. Both of them.

Goon is a good one

 

[Darral27]

Just brought it up in another thread but "Rampage" is a pretty good movie on Netflix.

 

[AllenM]

Also I enjoyed Blood and Bone.

 

[indyjohn]

The Avengers is a pretty good "feel good about the good guys" movie.

I got it at Red Box but I've gotta believe Netflix has it too?

 

[AllenM]

Sorry I am going to chime in again. it takes me a while to remember things.

If you are into TV series "Life on Mars" is pretty good but you have to watch it through to the final episode. It actually has a conclusion and seems like the last episode was wrote first then worked backwards

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Thanks for the recommendations, folks!

Of them, I've only seen the newer True Grit.

Try some of the TV series, too. Sons of Anarchy is a great series. Well worth the time to watch it! Sherlock, from the BBC, was really good. So was Jekyll. As jimbob said, try the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. A bit out there and spoofy, but a real hoot from the 80's.

My Way (WWII based movie about a korean and japanese man in the Japanese army. They are taken prisoner by soviets. They end up fighting Germans then end up in the German army and run into each other on D-Day. Based on actual events.)
Beneath Hill 60 (WWI based movie about miners in the Australian army who dig tunnels under the enemy trenches and blow them up from underneath. Based on actual events.)
The Grey (somewhat of a "scary" movie about a guy working for a oil company in alaska. On his way back home the plane crashes and he and his fellow workers are stranded in the middle of Alaskan wilderness with vicious wolves.)

Enjoy!

Not opposed to TV series... But I RARELY have the time to devote.

I've just now finished the British Top Gear. I've started the American version of TG as well - along with the British 5th Gear. Also running through The A-Team, He-Man, and G.I.Joe.

Red Dawn was not on there. I was looking for it last night.

I would say Tucker and Dale vs Evil and also Rampage.

The Ghost and the Darkness

 

[Bigc177]

"The Machine Gun Preacher" is an excellent flick. Based on a true story of an ex-con that finds the Lord and decides to go on a missionary trip to the Sudan to help orphans in the area. I'll leave it at that, don't want to spoil the movie, and yes it has PLENTY of in it too!

 

[ZombieApocolypse]

Boiler Room .... Vin Diesel plays a mobster who chooses to represent himself in court, i think this was based off a true story

 

[breas1]

Land of the Dead. Good zombie movie.
