As a side note to complain about, I hate how your recently watched is right there to rat you out to the wife. Yes honey, I was watching random bizarre anime's with girls scantily clad as the picture. Nevermind that most fo them have nothing to do with that but its a conversation I'd rather not have. Why can't we delete that history?!

Dude, this is infringing on my rights to watch R rated nudity in the privacy of my own home."Honey, can we watch Cosmos now? Great. Here we go...wait...what the hell is 'Sex Drive'?"
Insein

Exactly. It rats you out. Its nothing compared to what you can find on the internet but still it's just something you don't feel like talking about when you get home from work. Plus it selectively keeps stuff in there. I have a documentary in there I watched from day 1 but stuff I've seen since seems to have disappeared from the recently watched. Are they trying to get me in trouble, lol.

This is why I have stayed away from the anime, for now. It does make for some fun, on that rare occasion, when my sister-in-law and her husband come over to babysit for us. After we get back and they leave, the wife and I play "What did he watch after everyone else fell asleep?"

Yeah, it's like there's this script that runs with the sole purpose of deleting benign stuff and keeping the stuff that'll get you in trouble.Exactly. It rats you out.

Yep, watched it yesterday. Funny "aha" moment, after watching Scarlett Johansson be pretty freakin sexy in Iron Man 2, I come home from the store to find my son watching Home Alone 3 (and LOVING it). In that movie, Scarlett plays the sister and is almost not recognizable. She grew up good.

Can a few people get me a list of say 5-10 foreign movies to check out please?
Just saw Sin Nombre last night.
Liked it a good deal.
Also saw "the secret in their eyes"
That was really good as well.
Wanted to catch some more of these.
I'm open to anything, but been in the mood for something that sets in Europe, with preferably good scenery?
Any help?
Thanks
ETA: Watch instantly would be preferable.
I am in the middle of getting through Dexter, then I want to do The Wire, so it could be a while before i get any movies in the mail.

Woody Allen's "Vicky Christina Barcelona" isn't foreign, per se. But the European scenery and the women are beautiful.Don't know if these foreign films are all available to watch instantly, but they're all fantastic:The Lives of OthersThe ItalianThe Story of the Weeping CamelMongolSexy BeastThe Diving Bell and the ButterflyBarbarians At The GateThe Unbearableble Lightness of BeingDownfall

Agree. ...with the warning that you may want your mommy when watching the movie. Caveat emptor.

not even close to Ichi The Killer territory. :X
It's part of their deal with Starz. Anything currently in the rotation on Starz is available on netflix. That's why Hot Tub Time Machine, The Other Guys, Shutter Island and some other random newer movies are available.
Insein
Footballguy
That makes sense then. I always wondered why I saw Starz on everything.

I wouldnt consider Sexy Beast a foreign film, but its awesome nonetheless. Kingsley hits it out the park.

The Man from Nowhere is another great foreign film. Superb action piece. The plot is straightforward but entertaining enough to keep you engaged for the full two hours.

I understand that it's all in English. But the cast and the director are all British, though.

At least you didn't get caught watching A Good Day to be Black & Sexy.

Life is Beautiful was a quality foreign flick. Real gut-wrencher, but I thought it was well done.

Buffalo '66 is great. If I didnt put it on my Top 100 movies list, I should have.Michael Collins has been on my want to see list for awhile, might finally be time.According to my queue, Rosewood, Rubber, and Let Me In also all will be available on instant watch tomorrow. Ive seen Rosewood before, definitely recommend it. Ving Rhames is badass, Jon Voight is a racist, and Don Cheadle has a good performance before he was the cool actor to like. Rubber looks......interesting (its about a tire that kills people).

I didn't like the "old guy face". Felt a bit too mean-spirited considering the defenseless target.I would not have watched this without the good word giving here and so glad I did. That old guy part at the end had me seriously in pain laughing with tears rolling down my eyes and still was making me laugh at work the next day thinking about it.Just got done watching this. I loved the end part talking about the old guys. Hilarious!!!Almost peed myself watching this the other night. Hilarious.Bill Burr..knocks it outta the park
In before "what are you, a FAAAG?!?!".
