10 Random Movies To Check Out On Netflix...From The 100 Best Movies Streaming On Netflix Right Now (2014) - http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/...07+2014&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social
Pain and Gain (2013)
Director: Michael Bay
Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Anthony Mackie, Tony Shalhoub, Ed Harris
Deservedly, Michael Bay has earned a not-so-enviable reputation as being a shameless purveyor of hollow, glossy CGI orgies that lack character depth or any other byproducts of good screenwriting. Not that he really gives a shyt, though, since he has a fourth Transformers movie on deck. But there's definitely a part of Bay that'd love to silence the naysayers with a smaller, less computer-generated hit.
Enter Pain and Gain, a dark, violent, and hilarious action-comedy that harkens back to Bay's Bad Boys movies and features Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, and Anthony Mackie hamming it up as three dim-witted and totally ripped bodybuilders on the run from the Miami Police Department. Sure, it didn't win any awards, but tell us that the proposition of watching Wahlberg and The Rock playing bumbling steroid junkies doesn't sound, at the very least, entertaining. (Spoiler: It's incredibly entertaining.)
Sightseers (2013)
Director: Ben Wheatley
Stars: Alice Lowe, Steve Oram
Um, Sightseers is about a new couple, Chris and Tina, (Steve Oram and Alice Oram) who decide to go on a road trip to strengthen their relationship—and along the way Chris turns out to be a sociopath and kills everyone who insults them. So it's not your traditional romance, but it's hilarious. The beauty of Ben Wheatley's film is that you don't even have to be into that sort of dark, messed up thing to enjoy it. When you look past the blood and bludgeoning, it's actually an endearing look into a relationship between a couple of socially awkward messes. All credit goes to careful directing by Ben Wheatley and witty lines crafted by Lowe and Oram.
Gimme the Loot (2013)
Director: Adam Leon
Stars: Ty Hickson, Tashiana Washington, Zoe Lescaze, Meeko, Sam Sighor, Joshua Rivera
There's a moment nearly halfway into writer-director Adam Leon's feature film debut Gimme the Loot where its two leads, teenage NYC graffiti bombers Sophia (Tashiana Washington) and Malcolm (Ty Hickson), debate the efficiency full-member-sized condoms. Malcolm thinks that rubbers should just cover the "head," like a "fitted cap"; Sophia, as in most of their chats, thinks he's full of shyt. It's a funny exchange that doesn't feel scripted, mainly because of the actors' naturalistic performances, and that's what lifts Gimme the Loot above the threshold of excellence as a whole: The film always feels in-the-moment and real.
Living in the Bronx, and, as a result, pledging allegiance to the New York Yankees' pinstripes, Sophia and Malcolm hatch a plan to "tag" the Mets Home Run Ball at the Queens-located Citi Field, an incredibly ambitious scheme that's halted when Sophia gets robbed by members of a rival spray-can-toting gang. The theft inspires Malcolm to hatch a heist of his own, one that involves jacking a case of expensive jewelry from an upper-class floozy (Zoe Lescaze) to whom he recently brought drugs.
In Leon's vibrant, warm, and consistently amusing film, the characters' sticky-fingered, urban adventure itself ranks secondary to Gimme The Loot fluid direction and breathlessly witty dialogue, spoken by a squad of first-time performers who uniformly come off as real-deal people, not fictional creations. It's every bit as authentic in spirit as Larry Clark's similarly presented Kids (1995), only, with its amiability, it's much more accessible. —MB
Frances Ha (2013)
Director: Noah Baumbach
Stars: Greta Gerwig, Mickey Sumner, Adam Driver, Michael Zegen, Grace Gummer, Patrick Heusinger
Noah Baumbach begins many of his movies with a line of dialogue that acts as a kind of summary or central thematic statement. The first words spoken in his divorce drama The Squid and the Whale, for instance, are, "Mom and me versus you and Dad."
Frances Ha, his funny valentine to his girlfriend, Greta Gerwig, opens with a long montage of Frances' life in New York. She's a twenty-something with aspirations to dance, and she lives with her best friend, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), who works in publishing. In the montage, Frances reads aloud to Sophie about attacks on sincerity in art. Those of you who simply hate the social milieu of middle-class white Brooklynites who dream of doing something creative, this is your cue to leave.
Like a great episode of Girls (minus the body art), Frances Ha examines friendship between young women in New York, 2013. Baumbach cares for Gerwig, and it's clear in the film. Though the characters around Frances make comments that skewer themselves and their specific sub-culture (shout out to everyone working on a Gremlins 3 screenplay), her own faults are celebrated. Frances is socially awkward and self-sabotaging, and she is lovely and loved by the film's camera and screenplay (which Gerwig wrote with Baumbach). In the hands of other filmmakers and stars, this could become numbing satire or something equally lifeless. Instead, it's exuberant, a pristine black-and-white snapshot of love and the city. —RS
Adventureland (2009)
Director: Greg Mottola
Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Ryan Reynolds, Kelsey Ford, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader
It's hard to believe that this star-studded cast wasn't handpicked by a major studio, but Adventureland premiered at Sundance in 2009. Set in 1987 and filmed in Pittsburgh, this comedy follows virginal college graduate James, played by the ever-awkward Eisenberg, as he deals with working at his hometown's theme park. There, he meets Em, played Kristen Stewart to such effect that she earned High Times Magazine's Stonette of the Year award.
The two twentysomethings drink, smoke, and fight off the monotony of their lives, all while falling in love as they work the game booths.
In the Loop (2009)
Director: Armando Iannucci
Stars: Tom Hollander, James Gandolfini, David Rasche, Mimi Kennedy, Chris Addison, Peter Capaldi, Steve Coogan, Anna Chlumsky, Gina McKee, Paul Higgins
If all politicians, military officials, and political reporters were as funny as the men and woman in Armando Iannucci's hilarious satire In The Loop, we'd probably be more willing to root for undesirables like Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney.
They're not, of course, but who could really expect them to be? Hardly many popular comedy screenwriters themselves are as humorously on-point as Scottish comedian/writer/filmmaker Iannucci, whose spoofing of pre-war turmoil ranks as one of the best laugh-fests of the last decade, although you'd have to be a die-hard cinephile to know as much.
Amelie (2001)
Director: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Stars: Andre Dussollier, Audrey Tautou, Mathieu Kassovitz, Rufus, Serge Merlin
We’ll be the first to admit that Amélie is not a film suited to everyone’s taste. With its whimsical style and cute-as-a-button leading lady (Audrey Tatou), it’s a Disneyfied version of life in Paris’ Montmartre neighborhood. One where young Amélie works as a waitress on a mission to make life happier for those around her, concocting a number of elaborate schemes in order to manipulate joy from the strangers who surround her. Until she eventually realizes that it is she who is need of a personal pick-me-up.
Though dismissed by some for being too cutesy (it was famously rejected from screening at Cannes when a programmer described it as being “uninteresting”), the film’s fanciful depiction of The City of Light conjured up more than $30 million at the box office, making it the most successful French film to hit American shores.
The Grandmaster (2013)
Director: Wong Kar-wai
Stars: Tony Leung, Zhang Ziyi, Chang Chen, Zhao Benshan, Song Hye-kyo, Wang Qingxiang
Hong Kong's Wong Kar-wai has made some of the prettiest movies (In the Mood for Love, 2046) in recent memory. His latest is The Grandmaster, a biopic about legendary martial arts instructor Ip Man (Tony Leung). Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film, it's a dreamy, meditative take on the kung fu epic, just as invested in love and character as the work of foot and fist.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Director: John Hughes
Stars: Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara
No '80s film could inspire you to live out your youth to its extreme more than Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's the perfect amalgam of everything you fantasized about while stuck in homeroom. If a joy ride in a Ferrari with your best friend and beautiful girlfriend wasn't already a mind-blowing idea to you, toss in a downtown parade where you perform "Twist and Shout," a free lunch at a fancy restaurant, and the image of your crusty, pornstached principal getting chewed out by your dog. Heaven was never represented so accurately in the movies.
Drinking Buddies (2013)
Director: Joe Swanberg
Stars: Olivia Wilde, Anna Kendrick, Jake Johnson, Ron Livingston, Ti West
Fans of tradition will hate Drinking Buddies. If you go into this expecting a Shop Around the Corner-type story, then sorry 'bout it, you're shyt outta luck. Sure, the IMDB synopsis mentions that the film is about a couple of craft brewery co-workers (Olivia Wilde and Jake Johnson) who flirt and clearly have more chemistry than the people they're actually dating (Ron Livingston and Anna Kendrick, respectively). But given this, know that Drinking Buddies doesn't follow the tried and true beat of a romcom, which is something you'd expect if you're familiar with director Joe Swanberg's work.
Considering all the lines are entirely improvised by the cast (within a story outline, provided by Swanberg), the nuanced portrayal of modern relationships in the movie comes from a very real place. It's a reminder that what's obvious and what's right in a fairytale land doesn't matter because real life isn't that cut and dry. Real life, as examined in Drinking Buddies, is essentially a compilation of lies and excuses we tell ourselves to make the day easier. Now who's up for a beer?

Is there a way i can do it on my ps3? i followed shyt on youtube but it never works breh
Personally I have the app on my smart tv, but i know for a fact it works on ps3 as my friends do it.
Maybe give it another try googling it. The american selection is wayyyyyy better though.

Apparently some dns codes get over used and stop working so that could be a reason it didnt work for you before. Maybe try a few different ones.
