movie recs sought

[devohoneybee]

So, I recently got a Netflix account. Um, any favorite movies you think I should see? Don't assume I've seen stuff, as I really haven't been to the movies in quite a while.

So far, I've seen Water, Fire (Earth is in the queue), and Perfect Creature (vampire flick with Dougray Scott, yummm). I've got the following in the queue besides Earth: Stardust, the latest Harry Potter, La Vie En Rose, Notes on a Scandal, The Lives of Others, Talk to Her, Crash, Next, 8 1/2, Across the Universe, Things to do Before You're 30 (Dougray Scott again, and Billie Piper), and Anchoress, Existenz, and some Inspector Morse (all for Chris Eccleston).

I just reviewed my Netflix history, and thought of some more :)

The Hudsucker Proxy.
City of Lost Children
Farewell my Concubine
Amilie
Night at the Museum was actually kinda sweet.
Black Snake Moan - wasn't as kinky as it looked, but was much more touching.
Paris is Burning - great docu about the drag culture in NYC and the origin of "Voguing"
Howl's moving castle
ConstantineTipping the Velvet - it's a short-run TV or miniseries, but sweet and gay.
Big Night
The Pillow Book
The House of Yes

Enjoy!

Constantine and Tipping the Velvet should be on separate lines...heh.

spoilers for Black Snake Moan

hey, thanks for this! lots to check out. I adored Black Snake Moan, actually -- it hit exactly my kink, which is more of the emotional part of D/s -- he took control, temporarilly, of her life, in order to help her heal. That big ass chains were involved was the cherry on top, so to speak. Having it NOT be sexual actually made a lot of sense to what their connection was about. I also loved that he handed her over to her boyfriend, with that little symbolic chain.

If Big Night is the Italian restaurant one, then I saw that one, too, but none of the others. Cool! stuff to explore!
