Slumdog Millionaire: I don't care how long the drive is. Go. And particularly for screenwriters -- this thing is a swiss watch. Regardless of how you may wind up feeling about the film as a whole (I loved it), there is not a single moment in the story where you don't desperately want to know, have to know, what is going to happen in the next ten seconds. "Open with a mystery", indeed.
Netflix on 360 recommendation-- Planet B-Boy. International break-dancing and father issues.
Yes, the streaming Netflix is my new obsession. Their available films are a weird mix to say the least, but all is forgiven when you discover that they have every season of The Rockford Files available for streaming.
I can watch any episode of Rockford. At any time. Sweet Jesus.
In the Comments -- your most recent best rental/indie viewing pleasure.
Now where the hell's Riptide?

Have you watched Milk yet? Saw it in the theater today. Then I got home and a Fed Ex package was sitting by my door. Yep, it was the screener for Milk. I liked the movie a lot better in the car.
There will be no better film this awards season than Slumdog Millionaire. I don't care how hot Brad Pitt is.
Best picture of the year? In my book, it's still WALL-E. But Slumdog is right up there.
JCVD - a surprisingly good movie that proves he can actually act as long as he plays 'himself'
ps - any thoughts on the current political fun north of the border?
Saw "Synecdoche, New York" while in Seattle a few weeks back with friends and I think I was the only one who unreservedly loved it. I am now convinced that Charlie Kaufman is the American Jean Cocteau. Not bad for a guy who used to write jokes for Dana Carvey.
On the DVD front, I just burned through Fox's new Blu-Ray set of the "Planet of the Apes" movies. Worth it for the new documentary featurettes, the Isolated music score tracks, (Can I get a whoop-whoop from the Goldsmith fans in the house?) and the preview cut for "Conquest" which is way more violent and has the most down ending in the series. And yes I'm counting "Beneath" where Heston (SPOILER ALERT!) nukes the whole damn planet. Recommended for the hard-core faithful. Dilettantes can feel free to stop with "Conquest."
Is it worth my money to see Slumdog Millionaire? Is it true that only two third of the movie has English subtitles and the rest of the dialogue is spoken English? If the subtitled part is not enough to follow the story, then I'll wait for the dvd - dvd has everything including subtitles for spoken English too!
Rockford is some great stuff, but I've just been sold on Netflix because they've got F-Troop.
My return to childhood reruns is nearly complete.
The Lost Room was pretty good, and I'm glad I watched it.
Shame that it was glaringly obvious that the first 2/3 was written as the intro to a full season and the last third was written (a la writer's strike) to finish everything up in one hour. To create such a stunningly simple yet deep universe and start such interesting arcs only to drop everything and write a fairly crap ending, real shame.
Word verification (e-rorschach): singsids, which I assume is a musical about Socratic psychology?
@ Richard Jensen - here's your whoop-whoop from a Goldsmith fan. No matter how bad my day, the end title from The Swarm can always cheer me up. Then I start thinking of the dialogue in the actual movie and start uncontrolably giggling.
In Bruges would be my more recent pick, for those that have not yet seen it. 20 minutes in I was desperately wishing I'd written it myself. In addition to an excellent Farrell & Fiennes, you have the majestic Brendan Gleeson and the insanely adorable Clemence Poesy - it's my joint no.1 of the year with WALL-E.
Is it worth my money to see Slumdog Millionaire? Is it true that only two third of the movie has English subtitles and the rest of the dialogue is spoken English?
Not exactly. The transition to English makes perfect sense and it's very clear and understandable. You won't need subs for it.
Simon:
The Swarm-sweet God, The Swarm!
Say what you want about "Towering Inferno" and "Poseidon Adventure". They may be big blocks o'cheese but they look and move like movies. "The Swarm" on the other hand looks as cheap as a bad episode of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." When you combine a lousy script with a piss poor director and stir in actors desperate to make a Balloon payment, the results are heartbreaking.
And yet, I have this sudden urge to stick it in my Netflix queue, why is that?
I quite liked Let The Right One In. Swedish slice-of-life movie set in a working-class suburb of Stockholm, featuring the losers who live there. WITH VAMPIRE.
Personally, I won't say that there is any sort of justice in the world until Netflix starts stremaing episodes of "Manimal".
The XBox streaming bug has hit me hard, too. Never in my life would I have imagined I'd have a dozen+ Fassbinder movies beamed straight to my TV. It's crazy!
That said, Little Otik is another rare gem available on the netflix streaming that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I just watched the doc YOUNG @ HEART and it was fantastic ... funny and witty and heartbreaking and moves like a freight train ... it's on rental, check it out ...
I tend to agree with Anonymous.
Anyway, got the spouse to watch the first season of (new) Doctor Who streaming Netflix to my laptop one ep at a time as we were in bed before sleep. Now she's hooked!
Tremendously enjoyed "In Bruges". There's a lot of layered medievality in that movie.
Finally got around to watching "Primer" based on recommendations here. Afterwards, my brain exploded and I had to sit around for three days trying to put it back together.
My vote for old school TV goes to Night Court. Pre-sexual-harassment comedy FTW.
Gould's Marlowe in The Long Goodbye is an excellent compliment to Rockford.
Haven't seen Milk or Burn After Reading, but I have read the screenplays, which are available on this Focus Features Oscar promo site, if you root around a little. Well worth the read, both.
Let the Right One In is a marvel. A shocking, beautiful, heartbreaking marvel.
I have two good indies - both of which are a little old, but I still loved them... Be Kind Rewind. I loved it! It was funny and heartbreaking at the same time. And, Son of Rambow. Though I don't know if Rambow's is an Indie or not, just might be British. It was pretty clever and nice to watch. I like when films look like they might end one and then they surprise me in the end with something different.
I haven't seen Slumdog yet... I live in the Midwest and I don't think it has come yet. But, I definitely want to watch it!
Dude -
NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD
SPLINTER
The power of the pulp compels you. The power of the pulp compels you...
I would love to watch a video of John Rogers now Famous John...When He came home To Coyle to do his stand up routine...miss you Johnmodqpz
I think this counts. "Strings". I don't know if its streaming but it is available through Netflix. It's a Scandinavian fantasy epic done entirely with marionettes.
Yep.
Finally watched "The Counterfeiters" last night, which I'd had laying around since the beginning of October. Very good movie, the true story of Jewish artisans being forced by the Nazis to create counterfeit pounds and dollars so the Nazis can ruin the western economy.
And I think I'm going to see "Let the Right One In" tonight. Swedish vampires, what's not to like, right?
I squeee like a little girl at the thought of ALL of Rockford -- not just for the Gretchen Corbett lust, but for those two hilarious episodes with Tom Selleck (I hope I just reminded you of those right now, Rogers, and you will go watch them!).
Any Gerry Anderson on there? They got New Captain Scarlet?
And, oh, have you seen the new take on Terry Nation's Survivors yet?
And while I'm bugging you: Will you actually *watch* Leverage on TNT or would that be Been There, Done That?
Oh damn. Sorry for second post.
Yes, as Stuart said: Strings I recommend too
your most recent best rental/indie viewing pleasure? does Cache count? i just watched it recently and loved it. there's a scene in it that i was not expecting. i actually gasped aloud, my hand covering my mouth. wowza!
Le Doulos [1963] on BFI 75th Anniversary DVD. Not exactly new but not one I'd ever heard of and its an interesting idea - focus on the snitch rather than the cops or the robbers.
The Host. Because I love me some Korean monster movie action.
And Netflix can suck on a smoke evacuator, their streaming stuff doesn't work on Mac platforms.

And about damn time too!
The picture quality isn't that great but that's more an issue with my available internet connections than with Netflix.
The upside, I was able to stream a bunch of old school Tom Baker "Doctor Who's".
The down side is now I'm one step closer to becoming a total shut in. DAMN YOU INTERNET! WHY MUST YOU BE SO TASTY?!!
Gould's Marlowe in The Long Goodbye is an excellent compliment to Rockford.
And in a different way, so is Garner's Marlowe in Marlowe. Think of it as sort of a trial run for Rockford Files. (Brett Maverick + Philip Marlowe = Jim Rockford.)

You need the Intel-based Mac.
No love for the old school. :(
Best recent viewing? Finally got around to Lars and the Real Girl. Had no idea a film with such an apparently silly premise would be so moving.
And, yeah, Slumdog is my pick for best pic. If only I'd invited Mr. Boyle to join us for breakfast in Austin. But he's a fast eater.
The best movie I've seen this year was Downfall, a German language film about Hitler's final days.
Guillermo DelTorro's commentary track on The Devil's Backbone is worth the price of admission all by itself.
I can watch any episode of Rockford. At any time. Sweet Jesus.
I love you. Marry me.
