Netflix - What gems have you found?

21 Days under the Sky

4 young bikers(touch of the hipster about them) ride 60s/70s Harley choppers across America. A little lacking in PH detail and a long way away from "Long Way Round" but beautifully shot and simply told

Just started watching "Narcos" at the weekend.

The original 1974 'Taking of Pelham 123' still good after all these years.

'Lost in Translation' is brilliant, you watch it wondering when it's going to get started and after it's finished you realise how excellent it was all the way through.

I see 'Natural Born Killers' is on there now, might give that a watch soon, haven't seen it since it first came out.

Watched 'Legend of Barney Thomson' recently. Excellent turn from Emma Thompson playing well against type.

Look who's back. Not what I expected and messes with your head a little.

Yes, very good film and does mess with your head. Quite a believable character, on more than a few occasions sat there in agreement with him.

Just watched trash, not a bad watch.

Quick question for you avid Netflickers:

Holiday in Greece this week - will I be able to plug my Amazon Firestick into the hotel TV and watch Netflix and Amazon Prime as per my normal UK subscriptions?

It will load up whatever content is available in Greece based on rights restrictions so you may find one of two things. Either more content before or less.

"Valley Uprising". A brilliant documentary on climbing in Yosemite over the decades, the achievements and the rivalries.
"Generations of beatniks and madmen drop out of society and take up a life of rock climbing on the massive granite walls of Yosemite National Park."

Thanks. I'll find out tomorrow I suppose, but will stuff generally be in English audio with Greek subtitles?

Not sure about the subtitles but it should all still be in English audio unless it's a foreign film obviously

The Champions

Short but heartwarming documentary about pit bulls rescued from an NFL player obsessed with dog fighting, even though its mainly positive the room may become dusty at times...

Withe The Green Room arriving in cinemas and gaining positive reviews for its "unbearable tension", I noticed that the director's previous film, Blue Ruin, is on Netflix. Worth a watch?

yes.
there is no unbearable tension to speak of, but its a great story, well filmed, and done SUPER cheap! the lead actor is the director's mate..

Seconded.

Caught an excellent French police/drug mob drama set in Marseilles between 1975 - 81 'The Connection'. Made in 2014, it is a typical French production - strong characters and no smaltz. Some good period cars, too. The main protagonists drive a DS21 and armoured Merc 450 SEL 6.9. Great music soundtrack, too. Worth seeking out.

[FWIW]

Season 2 of Chefs Table recently added. Really enjoyed S1, hope this is as good.

It's loosely the French side of the film 'The French Connection'. Loosely as in no relation to the original in anything but premise. But good.

I fully recommend Detectorists for anyone who hasn't seen it!
