Essential Official Netflix Thread

[porque]

Really good indie flick that hit home with me. I worked in a mental hospital for 4 years. So I came across a bunch of sad cases from the young and mentally ill.

I saw this based on a recommendation in the Movie Suggestions thread and I truly loved it, its my kind of movie

Glad it's on Netflix so other people can catch up easier.

On Monday, the third season of Sherlock will become available for streaming exclusively on Netflix. The service will also stream Sherlock Uncovered, a set of three half-hour making-of specials following each episode, and Unlocking Sherlock, a one-hour behind-the-scenes feature about the making of the series. To mark the occasion, Vulture caught up briefly with executive producer Steven Moffat and his wife, producer Sue Vertue, who told us a rewatch could prove enlightening (even after we’ve thoroughly picked apart all the juiciest bits with Moffat). Spoilers ahead for those who have not yet watched season three:

You could go hunting for all the clues they dropped early on about Mary's real identity, for starters. “When Sherlock’s first looking at Mary in the first episode, and all those words go around, in fact, the word liar is there, but you don’t notice it the first time,” Vertue said. Moffat added that those rooting for a Molly-Sherlock hookup might also luxuriate in a second look at the finale, “The Last Vow,” and how prevalent the specialist registrar is in Sherlock’s mind palace. Shockingly, neither Moffat nor Vertue were aware that in May the Oxford English Dictionary added a new definition to the word ship, and included the following as an example of how to use it as a verb: “I will always ship Sherlock and Molly,” but Moffat pronounced it “lovely.” Three cheers for Mollylock!

It’s still anyone’s guess when we might see new episodes. “We’re literally in the middle of working out what we’re doing and the dates we’ve got. It’s a bit of a watch-this-space, I’m afraid,” Vertue said. They were doubly mum on the potential Sherlock standalone special Martin Freeman described as “a mouth-watering idea” last month. “It’s all going in the right direction. There’s nothing to worry about. Everyone’s very willing to make it work. I’m sorry — that’s all you’re getting for now,” Moffat said.

At the beginning of (and throughout) every month, Netflix Streaming adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Here is a quick list of several that you might be interested in. Some of these were added halfway through or near the end of May, but we're going to include them in this roundup anyway, since you may have missed them. Some may also have previously been on Netflix, only to have been removed and then added back. Feel free to note anything we've left out in the comments below.

Orange Is the New Black (Season two available June 6)
Piper, Alex, Red, Crazy Eyes, Nicky, and Pornstache return for another round of prison-based dramedy. We've collated everything you could want to devour in preparation: Exclusive posters, interviews, prison survival tips, and video of the OITNB cast facing off in trivia against their Brooklyn Nine-Nine rivals. Can you tell we like this show?


Lawless (Available June 29)
Put aside your grievances with Shia LaBeouf: John Hillcoat's crime drama distills Prohibition-era warring down to one moonshining family's brutal escapades. Hillcoat's action is electrifying, Nick Cave's raw bluegrass roars, and Tom Hardy redefines normcore with his cardigan-heavy wardrobe. Completely underappreciated during its 2012 release.


The Triplets of Belleville
Will there ever be a CG cartoon as stunning as the handcrafted work in 2-D animated films? Even Pixar's finest lag behind Sylvain Chomet's 2003 musical caper, a mosaic of comic caricatures, 1930s French jazz, and silent-era slapstick. For audiences of all ages, without feeling manufactured for any of them.


Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me (Available June 24)
Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Nathan Lane, John Turturro, Harold Prince, and the late James Gandolfini all lend their talking heads to a fitting, cheeky tribute to the Broadway and film legend. At the very least, you know Stritch as Jack Donaghy's mother on 30 Rock. But there's a lengthy, fruitful career behind the 89-year-old actress, carefully traced by Shoot Me.


Ever After: A Cinderella Story
With Maleficent in theaters, check out the best-case scenario for a revisionist fairy tale. Pre-Blended Drew Barrymore (that's how we mark time now) stars as “the real” Cinderella, a servant in 16th-century France who finds herself entangled in a forbidden love affair with a hunky prince (Dougray Scott). It's not quite Romeo + Juliet, but it'll do.


The Pirate Fairy (Available June 15)
And for parents looking for a movie to enjoy with the kids, there's Disney's The Pirate Fairy, which touts Parenthood's Mae Whitman as Tinker Bell and Tom Hiddleston as a singing pirate. Yes, he sings too:


El Dorado
Netflix has always been light on the classic Westerns, making the addition of Howard Hawks's reunion with John Wayne required viewing. In El Dorado, Wayne plays a gun-for-hire who finds himself on the right side of the law when a town sheriff in need (Robert Mitchum) turns out to be an old friend. Together they defend a rancher from a violent adversary, and do what they do best: squint, drawl, ride, and shoot.


At the Earth's Core
Before there was John Carter, there was this 1976 Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation. A movie that demands your Mystery Science Theater 3000–style commentary. Look at these monsters:

It was my favorite film of last year. Of all the movies that I saw, which was most of them.

Do you think I'm lying about my opinion?

Why did you like the movie??

Why did you like the movie??

Loved the performances, the story, the characters...everything felt real and honest.

I'm a sucker for movies with great child characters and performances, so this was right up my alley.

It also had possibly the best rap verse of the year in it

 

[ECA]

For someone that works in the mental health field, Short Term 12 hit pretty close to home. Excellent movie. #BrieLarson4MaryJane

[N*E*R*D]

Loved it...definitely inspirational for those of us who need to lose weight.

 

[Brandeezy]

Adventures in Babysitting, one of my fav movies from when i was in middle school

The Story Of Luke Is pretty good if you enjoyed Short Term 12

Looking for some hidden gems right now...

 

[robb]

This documentary right here is something else. Don't want to reveal too much, but most of us remember getting fooled on-line back in the AOL days. People would send out pics of sexy people that wasn't them. This documentary is almost too hard to believe. If you haven't seen it check it out immediately.

good flick..just saw it...remind me of the good old aol golden era days......
the fukkery bytches did just to get my attention at times...and the fantasy worlds they lived in.
this is on some ultimate level of catfish catfishing a catfish type shyt.
