KidsHappen Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I like history, science, sci-fi, mysteries, thrillers, drama, adventure, true crime, a interesting and well told bio and pretty much anything that is so deep it makes your head hurt but only is it has a satisfying conclusion. I hate movies with a stupid ending. I like a lot of things on Discovery channel. Not real big on romantic comedies but I do like really funny comedies and a lot of stand-up. Both TV series or movies are ok. I currently have Torchwood in my on-line viewing cache but very little in my que so I am looking for ideas.

Mynyel Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Sheesh, that's a tough one. I usually pick a genre I like and go through looking at the movie and pick ones that look interesting. Now much help I know, but it is what I do! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, which is a foreign film, and an excellent movie. You can watch it on instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma23peas Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, which is a foreign film, and an excellent movie. You can watch it on instant. I added this because of the high ratings, I liked the premise but it really could have done without about 2-3 violent rape scenes....I would not recommend it. Based on your interests: Dr. Who Season 1-2-3- are instant play, I think, if not, get them added to your queue..the ones startng in the 2005-2006 series....once you get through the first one, it's pretty good..our family LOVED them!! Oh and we loved Brian Regan shows...great clean comedian!! But, still Bean rocks the house! :) I have a penchant for BBC productions... We also loved the most recent Robin Hood series and Merlin series oh and all of Mr. Bean..."The Whole Bean" Enjoy!!!! Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckens Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 "Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story" There was a thread about this a few weeks ago, and I finally got to watch this. I hope that I can be even HALF the mother his mom was! There was also lots of discussion with dd throughout the movie about how much Ben studied and how hard he worked.

Food4Thought Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I could recommend about a thousand different movies, but I'll stick with one little group and let others fill in. If you like the BBC miniseries, there are several fantastic ones on Netflix. North & South Daniel Deronda Wives & Daughters Bleak House Our Mutual Friend Eddie Izzard has a hilarious routine on watch now called Dressed to Kill. If you like standup, you might like him. :) Avatar: The Last Airbender. It seems like a kid's show, but my DH and I enjoyed it even more than the kids. All 3 seasons are on watch now.

Liz CA Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 "Gifted Hands - The Ben Carson Story" (Inspirational, completely clean) "Cranford" Dickenish and very entertaining period piece "The Road to Avonlea" 7 seasons of fun entertainment that has a bit of everything - totally clean if it matters "5 Mile Creek" Western type (also several seasons) set in 1890's Australia also has a bit of everything, suspense, romance and fun (clean as well) "Innerspace" a touch of science fiction, funny, older 80's movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles" comedy with some serious undertones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no can do. I am still tramatized by the relatively tame scene from Billy Jack. I will avoid any show with rape scenes. Based on your interests: Dr. Who Season 1-2-3- are instant play, I think, if not, get them added to your queue..the ones startng in the 2005-2006 series....once you get through the first one, it's pretty good..our family LOVED them!!

Caitilin Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Watch Farscape! The BEST sci-fi we've ever watched. A really good run (although cut short, sniff, sniff) followed by a mini-series to finish things off. :) Leverage is good, and BBC's Hustle is a similar flavor. Dr. Who starting with Christopher Eccleston and continuing to David Tenant as the Doctor is lots of fun. ETA: Eddie Izzard is AWESOME!

Food4Thought Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Ok, I have seen a few mentions of Avatar: The Last Air Bender. Tell me about this please. Also interested in hearing about Bleak House and Our Mutual Friend. Avatar is an American Anime series - it's about this world based on 4 different tribes with powers to move their environments: waterbenders, airbenders, firebenders, & earthbenders. Only the Avatar can learn to bend all 4 elements and keep balance with all the cultures. Sounds like a strange premise, but it is such a wonderful story with great characters and a lot of funny and heartwarming moments. It has a lot of Buddhist/Eastern Mysticist beliefs (meditation & a lesson on chakras come to mind), but as Christians we thought it was tame in those regards. Bleak House & Our Mutual Friend are both based off novels by Charles Dickens - so equal parts depressing and lovely at the same time. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping In Puddles Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 DEXTER!! I am addicted to this show. Dexter is a blood spatter expert for the police dept but he is also a serial killer. :eek: He ONLY kills bad guys though and it is fascinating. It's excellent, you will love it!
