I've always heard great things about the doc "Man On Wire" but just got around to watching it over the weekend. FUCK it is awesome. If you haven't seen it, definitely put it at the top of your instant queue.

If you guys don't watch Bear Gryll's in Man Vs. Wild, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!!
"The Other Guys" is cracking me up.
Vice Guide to Travel: Pakistan / Bugaria (8 episodes)
The Motorcycle Diaries
Dust to Glory
Baja 1000 Classic
Kinda been on a motorcycle kick, wanting to buy a KLR. Can't hurt to dream eh? All these are well worth the watch.
You need to watch "On Any Sunday" if you haven't already. Classic.Quote:

Yeah, the Liberia one, too. Childhood friend of mine who is now a pediatrician is in Monrovia for a month right now. She just sent out an email, apparently since she arrived, the only full time pediatrician in the whole country just went on vacation, so she is the only one currently in country. :eek:Quote:

Awesome, awesome movie. Found this last night via the best of 2000-2009 list on IMDB and was very impressed. Probably one of the best animated movies I've seen. In fact, I'm going to start a separate thread about it.
"One Week" is another decent bike flick.Quote:

From the "eat like a predator" thread, Fat Head is really good.
Something Wild (,Melanie Griffith-Jeff Daniels)
Tender Mercies (Robert Duvall)
Waterworld (Underrated)
The Pledge (Jack Nicholson)
The Road Home (Yimou director. His imagery is second to none).
Network (I'm as mad as Hell)
Great suggestions
A few I didn't see in here.
+The Worlds Fastest Indian - one of Anthony Hopkins best roles.
+Nova Series - lots of good stuff in there
+The Cosmos - Already mentioned. worth mentioning again.
+On Any Sunday - is in the streaming list and a classic for all two wheel enthusiast. I remember watching this for the first time is probably the reason I like it so much
+Fisher King - Always liked this flick but its too depressing to own.
+Penn and Teller, Bullshit - Some are better than others. The early ones are great, but they get a bit over opinionated after a while.
Oh, and should I watch the swedish version of the Girl who...series or wait for the US versions to come out?....already devoured the books.
I started watching a Showtime(?) series called Brotherhood. Pretty good.
Eureka - Recently finished the 3rd season on instant view. Damn good sci-fi-ey show. Few episodes here and there were obvious filler, but still enjoyable.
the have the entire new run of Dr. Who on there , they just put up season 5.
the best part of the Netflix is the access to a ton of tv shows
Is Dr. Who worth the watch? I thought the Torchwood series was pretty sweet and apparently its a spin off...Quote:

the right stuff
if you like Torchwood you will most likely enjoy the Doctor. Its slightly less cheeseball than Torchwood. I prefer Dr. WHo to Torchwood myself, but admittedly, I haven't put much time into Torchwood to really get into it. If you do start watching it, give it some time, they change the Doctor at season 2 and then again at season 5. Each guy plays it sightly different so you might enjoy one more than the other. I think if you really like torchwood, seasons 2-4 will likely be your favorites.Quote:

And we just watched this last week - it is an awesome reminder that no matter how gutsy you think you are, these dudes were a whole different level. Seriously huge brass balls.Quote:

It took me a bit to get used to Tennant as the new Doctor, but he was really good once he hit his stride (and I got used to him). Though I have to say, having started season 5 I think the new guy might be my favoriteQuote:

Summer doldrums led me to find "The god who wasn't there" documentary on Christianity. I'm areligious, not anti, and no scholar on the subject matter, but found it interesting to watch. It's available on streaming Netflix or can be viewed for free at link below.

Fuck Trail Park Boys is done, I watched them all. Why did they stop?

From Paris With Love- Over the top action flick with Travolta. I was expecting to pick up a book half way through, but the amount of killing kept me watching.
I think that's because of their dispute with Sony, which is supposedly resolved, or being resolved.Quote:

Wonderful world of whites the other day. That's a good one for sure.
Fun vampire movie: daybreakers. Surrogates was a fun sci fi flick.
Loved it. If you like martial arts movies, check out Chocolate. Seriously sick.Quote:

"American: The Bill Hicks Story"
I've been on an action movie kick lately. Here are some of the acceptable action flicks I've come across on netflix:
Robocop
The Crow
Terminator
Black Hawk Down
Iron Man 2
Star Trek (the new one)
Die Hard 1 and 3
Speed
The Universe: Season 3, Episode 2. Seriously mind blowing. You could write 1000 cool sci fi stories from the concepts (and potential ramifications) contained in these 44 minutes.
So I married an Axe Murderer.
Thanks for the rec... watched it and LOVED it. I've been a Bill Hicks fan for a long time - but this was VERY eye opening. That stuff about them sharing a vision while tripping on boomers was wild.Quote:

^yup, just dumped my DVD subscription today.
Just got the email. I'll keep the DVD plan through next month since the pricing change takes effect September 1, but I'll be streaming only after that. I can only assume this move is 100% meant reduce DVD subscribers
