Netflix Instant Project for 2013

Recommendations for October:

The Ice Harvest
Slacker

Throwing my support behind:
The Wolf Man

Since it's October I figured I'd recommend horror, so here we go
Recommendations for October:
[REC]3: Genesis - www.listal.com/movie/101767
You don't actually need to watch 1 or 2 to get this movie, as it has fairly little connection to the two, instead being sort of a spin-off. Delightfully the idea of it being found footage is thrown out the window at around fifteen minutes in a fashion that is so overtly dramatic I fell in love with it. Otherwise it's a perfectly decent zombie flick.

The Collection - www.listal.com/movie/the-collection-2012
Another sequel that doesn't really require you to watch the original. In this case you might want to though, because it's actually a pretty good movie too. However what it is not is pure insanity, which is what The Collection is. This is just so bat fuck insane in terms of ludicrous gory traps that I can't see how anyone, literally anyone could have a bad time with it. It's the gore traps from Saw taken to the utmost maximum extreme they can be taken to and done in a lovely tongue-in-cheek fashion. Loved it and thinking about raising it's rating all the damn time.

Throwing my support behind:
Room 237

Funniest comedy of the year. Hands down.

List updated! And I threw my support behind The Ice Harvest and Slacker.

Recs for October:
Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Some lighthearted Halloween fun
The Posession of David O'Reilly. Scary WTF film I was really impressed with

Throwing my support behind:
The Wolf Man
The Serpent and the Rainbow

And an addition to the movies to watch for October, The Bothersome Man/Norway of Life/Den Brysomme Mannen (the title keeps changing on Listal) is not quite horror but a very gory dark comedy that would fit pretty well with the scary theme this month.

Updated again. And I've added The Bothersome Man to my IQ, but we'll see whether I watch it this month.

Since I'm working on my Netflix Horrorthon and due to my lack of knowledge of good horror films that have ratings under 300, I haven't been able to participate in this month's Instant Project until now. However, since there is films here I plan to watch in my Horrorthon. I decided I might as well do it now. So, here's my contribution this month so far.

Recommendations for October:
Creepshow 2- Not the greatest sequel ever and I think the first one is superior. However, it is still an enjoyably decent horror anthology that is supposed a fun film to watch once.

The Invisible Man- an underappreciated horror classic made during the beloved Universal Studios horror monster run that features an astounding performance from Claude Rains as the titular character that is on par with the other classic performances.

Throwing my support behind:
The Wolf Man
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
The Stuff

List updated & I threw my support behind The Invisible Man.

Throwing my support behind:
The Invisible Man
Creepshow 2

The first is pretty much the best of those overrated Universal monster movies along with Frankenstein, and Creepshow 2 is just so friggin' stupid. The first story sucks, but everything after is cool.

Updated. :)

(One more film I want to support that isn't Halloween-related)

Throwing my support behind:
Slacker

Throwing my support behind:
Antiviral
The Stuff

List has been updated.

Throwing my support behind:
Antiviral
Creepshow 2- Although I wasn't a fan of it, it did have it's moments, so I'll go ahead and support it.

Updated.

For October:

Burke and Hare: www.listal.com/movie/burke-and-hare

Best Worst Movie: www.listal.com/movie/best-worst-movie

And throwing my support behind:

The Wolf Man
The Invisible Man
Rec 3
Indie Game The Movie
These Amazing Shadows
Side by Side

Updated. And good to know Burke & Hare is on Netflix...I'd been wanting to check it out.

Throwing my support behind:
Best Worst Movie

Sure, that's an alright movie.

Throwing my support behind:
The American Scream

Fairly close to not liking this movie, but I'll do this for the children.

Recommendations for October:
The Trial
The Phantom of the Opera

Throwing my support behind:
Slacker

List is updated & I've thrown my support behind The Trial.

Throwing my support behind: The Bay

Also a heads up that The Grapes of Wrath and Trees Lounge leave Instant on Nov. 1st.

Throwing my support behind:
Creepshow 2
Demon Knight

Recommendation for November:
Maniac - www.listal.com/movie/maniac-2013

The Maniac-remake is the best horror film of the year. You should watch it. Does to horror what Drive did to car-action.

VHS 2 - www.listal.com/movie/vhs2

So unlike the first VHS, this isn't a 100% of solid material, but the third short is on a level of quality beyond any anthology horror I've ever seen and will have you jumping out your seat in gleeful joy.

Recommendations for November:
Bay of Blood (Twitch of the Death Nerve)
The Call of Cthulhu

List is updated.

I'll recommend both of Giraffes selections. Bay of Blood I've spouted praise over on occasion in the past. Call of Cthulhu, while failing to approach what it attempts to and occasionally coming off as rather boring, it's still an interesting curiosity and the claymation in the end is admirable.

Cool. Updated again. :)

Recommendations for November:
The Mummy's Hand
An underrated film from the original Universal Horror lineup. It is more adventure and comedy driven compared to the other more well-known films from that time but it still very entertaining. I prefer it to the original Mummy film.

Throwing my support behind:
John Dies At The End
I have three films left for my Horrorthon that I'll try to get done by early November and this was one of the three that I missed out on. So, I decided to support it now.

Recommendations for November:

Clockers
King of New York

Updated.

Hi all

Recommendations for November:
Snow On Tha Bluff - Life in the ghetto found-footage style
The Horseman - A good old violent revenge flick

Throwing my support behind
Clockers
King of New York
Maniac
Pumpkinhead
Slacker

Updated again.

Recommendations for November:
Joe
Made during the height of the Hippie Movement, Joe shows the parent/blue-collar perspective on these acts which shows how dirty, selfish, and ungrateful these people had been. It starts out slow and is kind of dated but well portrays a rather interesting morality and character piece that is definitely worth a watch.

Throwing my support behind:
Apollo 13

Added.

And I see Batman: The Movie is leaving Dec. 1st, if anyone wants to catch it. Unsure at the moment if there are others.

So, unsure about this one, but when I was browsing my queue on my TV last night it claimed The Brother from Another Planet leaves Oct. 20th. When I pull the film up on Netflix there's nothing backing that up. So it could be an error, but just in case it IS disappearing I thought I'd mention it for anyone interested.

Throwing my support behind: The Brother from Another Planet

Throwing my support behind: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Welcome, JRank. The list is updated. :)

Recommendations for December:
The Wild Geese
White Christmas

Recommendations for December:
Truck Turner - www.listal.com/movie/truck-turner-1974

This is the best blaxploitation-film. It's utterly hilarious, immoral, action-packed and full of pimps and hustlas. Isaac Hayes is astonishing.

Targets - www.listal.com/movie/targets
I haven't actually seen this film in ages. It's Bogdanovich's best work and the best role in Karloff's career. One of the most overlooked films of all time probably.

Recommendations for December:
Wrong
A Band Called Death

Off now to update the list. And for the record I don't plan to participate in watching any recommendations this month. December will be spent focusing mainly on the DVDs sitting in my home, though I suppose if something awesome leaves Netflix I'll attempt to give it a look before it's gone.

Recommendations for December:

Where the Buffalo Roam
A Shot in the Dark

Throwing my support behind A Shot in the Dark and Where the Buffalo Roam. List updated.

Recommendations for December:
Tales from the Script
One of the first films I've seen on Netflix. A nice documentary about screenwriters that is informative and interesting.

Throwing my support behind:
White Christmas

Updated. :)
