Whitey and I have a subscription to netflix, and we watch a fuckton of movies sometimes. We watch a lot of things that the average person has not heard of, and some of them are definitely worth a look. Here's a few we've seen over the years that bear mentioning:
Love me if you dare: It's a french subtitled flick... oh go read the damn description already. Definitely worth a watch, and it's a great date night movie.
Punch Drunk Love: This is one of the strangest movies I've ever seen, and one of the best. For those of you who clicked on the link and went "oh, an Adam Sandler movie", you couldn't be further from right. Adam Sandler is indeed in the movie, but this is parsecs away from your usual goofy, slapstick comedy or goofy romantic comedy. It's a romantic drama with a quirky and violent sense of humor and... well fuck it's hard to describe.
The Darjeeling Limited:
This is the most recent in Wes Andersen's Short but brilliant career as a writer/director. A lot of people said this didn't live up to their expectations, but this is my favorite Wes Andersen film. If you're not familiar with Wes Andersen's work, think of a quirky version of reality where Owen Wilson actually fits in and makes sense. I can't stand Owen Wilson in any movie except Wes Andersen movies. In your average movie, Owen makes my skin crawl; I want to walk up and hit him in the face with a two by four for being a quirky, ridiculous dumbass. In Wes Andersen's movies, he is exactly the kind of quirky, ridiculous dumbass that carries the movie and makes the whole fucking thing work. Go figure.
The life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: Another one of Wes Andersen's bizarre and brilliant movies. This one is about Some guys at sea searching after a mystical tiger shark or something. Doesn't make sense? Don't worry, Wes Andersen's premises almost never do. Apparently they don't have to.
Bottle Rocket: Yep, I'm all about kissing Wes' ass today. This is his first movie. It's about... I don't know what the fuck it's about. All I know was when I saw the opening credits I said "Oh my god, two Wilsons in the same fucking movie? This is going to be awful!" and It was ridiculously entertaining.
Run Lola Run: This is a Funky and bizarre movie that highlights how the slightest change in timing or the littlest decision can affect anything and everything in your life. It is short, fast paced, has a girl with pink hair, and a has great soundtrack.
Amelie: This is one of those brilliant and odd little films you don't easily forget. Amelie is about a strange young lady who likes observing behavior in people but hates interacting the conventional sense and how she eventually finds her place in the world.
That's all for now :)
