When I say new I mean new to me.
It seems I'm running out of good/interesting movies to rent on Netflix. So I come here asking for your help.
I'm looking for off beat recommendations for the following genres
Action-adventure
Sci-fi/fantasy
Thillers
Psychological
Feel free to combine any of these together
While these are my most favorite genres I do like all others save for chick flicks, all others are good (horror, not so much)
For the most part assume I've seen most of the good ones in each area.
Thanx from a noob in this forums
CT

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.

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.

Boy oh boy! It's the try and guess which movies a total stranger has or hasn't seen game. Sounds like fun, but I'll sit out this round.

Nice, I have only seen 1 of these.
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

So far, I haven't seen most you're all naming.

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.
