    Not sure if this thread is for films only but if anyone hasn't watched Sons of Anarchy yet, I'd recommend it. The first season isn't incredible but apparently it improves twofold from the second season onward.

    The main character is a bit of a knob, but there's a strong supporting cast and some very familiar faces.

    the third season was nearly a showkiller for me, it picks up again in the 4th though

    Finished season 1 of Friday Night Lights last week. Very enjoyable. Heard season 2 is pretty poor though, is it worth watching the rest of it anyone?

    Absolutely. Season 2 is fairly soapier in search of ratings but there are some great moments towards the end of the season.

    Season 3 is incredible and 4 and 5 are excellent.

    Watched the Killer inside me last night. Thought it was a very good film Casey Affleck played the part extremely well.

    Reno 911 is absolutely gas. Pay no heed to the movie if you've seen it, that's awful.

    Unfortunately, only the first season is up (12 eps.).

    Season 2 was during the writers strike, its not godawful but its more melodramatic and there's a story arc thats terrible in it, it gets much better in the later seasons though, some really emotional stuff in there.

    was a pretty big update on the US one from what I can see, The Thing (the Carpenter 1982 one) is on there now, yay, the dvd wasnt anamorphic and I never got it on blu-ray so this will suffice.

    Iron Man 2 has been added to the Irish catalogue. Been meaning to watch it again since I only saw it once.

    Private Parts, the Howard Stern biopic, is on the US one now as well, worth a watch, he plays himself in it.

    The rest of the series are watchable but every series is a repeat of series 1, you wouldn't be missing too much.

    i'm on the irish netflix and i seem to spend an age searching for a decent movie to watch

    over the last two nights I have however found two movies I enjoyed, so all the searching paid off (jesus it seems i spend almost as much time searching the netflix database as watching stuff, why can't we filter searches????)

    anyway the movies were

    machine gun preacher, not a great fan of butler but the movie was entertaining

    the painted veil, didn't expect to like it as much as i did, not a huge fan of period pieces, but this was good, unusual plot, two good actors with good supporting cast, never goes down the sentimental route but at the same time is deeply affecting by the end

    Wouldn't it be easier to just direct people to the Instantwatcher website which has all of the on it home page instead of copying and pasting them on here.. Just a thought..

    It's a shame there's no way of getting regionalised versions of Instantwatcher's data - every time I've used it it's pointed me at a load of stuff only available on Netflix US, and I don't want to be mucking around with any of the various workarounds to get at US netflix.

    There was a very basic one for the UK selection but the link went dead some time ago and i havn't been able to find an alternative. They did add a "Recently Added" tab to the website not long ago though so that's better then nothing and they also post highlights up on their facebook page.

    Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but the "30 for 30" sports docs that were produced by ESPN are up on US netflix. I have seen a fair few, and would recommend "Catching Hell", "17 June 1994" and one other one about the rival American Football league that was set up to compete with NFL (not the XFL thing, this one was from the late 80's).
