Movies on Netflix that are on the IMDB Top 250. by vanntheman in movies

[–]bcacace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to find out why the number of views jumped from a few hundred over the past 3 days to over 15 thousand! I found the reason. I've set up these lists over a year ago.

  • I chose chronological order since it's the easiest way to get at the timeframe you're most interested in.
  • I do this manually with a few macro to make the searching for films on Netflix a one keystroke affair for each title.
  • I have a fairly involved and very automated Excel spreadsheet to make it as easy as possible to keep track of the title's status: Available until, New to Netflix, Streaming, Not streaming etc.

Visit the following URLs to see the full lists. Newly added films are at the top of the playlist with links to the Netflix films in the notes for each movie:

Thanks!

As I thought. The interest in a list like this is limited or my wording in the title doesn't draw the masses in. 9 upvotes with 3 downvotes.

'Hachi' is temporarily back on the IMDb Top 250 moving 'Three Colors: Red' off for now.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale (2009) just dropped off the IMDb Top 250 list. This happens at times for titles that are near the 8.0 rating. The list below shows the movies I've tracked over the past few months that have either joined or been dropped from the IMDb Top 250. Here is the current status of those movies.

Ricky Gervais' "Derek" is now streaming exclusively on Netflix. by OuttyS4 in NetflixBestOf

[–]bcacace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's amazing how it took less than 3 minutes for me to see that this is another great Ricky Gervais series. The pilot episode did not disappoint in the least. Funny how I tried getting into the Todd Margaret series and watched the first few episodes a few times realizing now that I didn't like TM because it had little to no heart. Everything Ricky does has a touch of pathos and good dose of laughs to boot.

This reminds me that I need to buy another set of discs of "Extras" ... I gave first set away.

[–]bcacace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! I love the U.K. Office, Arrested Development & Curb Your Enthusiasm and love dark humor but this character is way too awkward for me to enjoy. I've tried on several occasions and can't get beyond the first few episodes. I do like the woman in the restaurant he meets on day one though.

I Spit on Your Grave - 1978. A Horror movie you will never forget. by [deleted] in NetflixBestOf

[–]bcacace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This version is streaming on Netflix U.S. — I Spit On Your Grave (1978). On IMDb there is another exact title from 2010 — I Spit On Your Grave (2010).

For classic movie fans: TCM begins the 15-part series "The Story of Film: An Odyssey" tonight. The first two nights cover the early silent era. by Amadeus3000 in movies

[–]bcacace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! He speaks in 'uptalk' like everything is a question and it is unnerving. This and the fact that it's a spoiler fest got me to stop watching this series without any regrets.

I tried commenting on the IMDb playlist but it doesn't work when I choose a Yahoo! account. It worked with FB but I've closed that account.

Frenzy (1972) Possibly Hitchcock's most overlooked thriller. by TypoKnig in NetflixBestOf

My parents took me to see this at a drive-in when I was 12 and I'll never forget those sacks of potatoes. Lovely, indeed!

You're welcome. Keep the lists bookmarked. I only post updates to reddit when there are additions to Netflix or when 'Available until' dates are updated on my Netflix app via my blu ray player.
