Re: I need recommendations for "new" movies to rent
A good cheesy sci-fi- action movie available on Netflix (not Instant Play) is Robot Jox. I used to watch it all the time on USA back in the early 90's. Willow was a good off beat fantasy and long the same lines would be the Ewok movies, The Caravan of Courage and The Battle for Endor. Of course they aren't Star Wars but for sci-fi they're fun. As for thrillers, do you like Hitchcock style thrillers or newer stuff? If you haven't tried any, Dial M for Murder will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Also, Secret Window and Rope are suspenseful / thrilling.

I love RobotJox, it also had a sort of sequel called RoboWarrior.
Willow is a favourite of many here, including me. |
Re: I need recommendations for "new" movies to rent
Robot Wars: Robot Jox 2. Never seen it because it's not on DVD and the VHS is kind of expensive. That reminds me, I've never seen it but I've heard The Ice Pirates is good.

Do you mean Hitchcock's Rear Window with Jimmy Stewart? Or The Secret Window with Johnny Depp? I liked them both, but they're quite different.

Oh wow I can not believe I did that. Definitely meant Rear Window... I'm ashamed of myself. I was actually thinking of mentioning how bad the Shia LaBeouf ripoff is, Disturbia or something like that.
Seen it a few times. Love it and Grace Kelly

If you don't mind forigen films, you should check out the Hong Kong film Vengence.

Thanx I will look into all of these. Feel free to add more.
I'm surprised some of my weird movies aren't on your lists Delicatessen Naked Lunch - prob the strangest movie of all time IMO Run Lola Run Kafka - not available on netflix I forgot to mention- I love apocalyptic movies and not the ones that turn out with a happy ending. |
Re: I need recommendations for "new" movies to rent
