Give them a go?
I'd say there's a few stinkers in there (chef, goon, etc) but would recommend The Hunt, The House I Live In, Blackfish, Headhunters. The Imposter and Omar were ok too.
Haven't had Netflix for a while but off the top of my head would also recommend City of God, Secret in Their Eyes (2009), Flame & Citron, West of Memphis, Rififi, etc if they are all still available on there at the moment.
I've searched on UK Netflix and very few are on there. Perhaps your list is old or available on Netflix outside the UK.
It did come from an international website, so perhaps some are not available in the U.K.?
Fortunately we have a few more added above to look out for
Headhunters is pretty good if you like dark, Scandinavian thrillers - it is based on a Jo Nesbo novel. The female lead - Synnove Macody Lund is very easy on the eye.
Sounds great to me. Will put it top of my list to watch.Originally Posted by SimonK
Is The Lives of Others still available? Excellent film
I got rid of Netflix a while back due to lack of usage.
Just checked, and it is presently available in the U.K.
I heartily recommend it then. Rented it by mistake in the olden days from Blockbuster. Great film
Another +1 for that.
Also watched The Big Short last night. Fascinating insight into the crash of 2007/8. Apparently the characters in it are true. Tells the story about just how corrupt the banking and mortgage system was leading up to the crash and how the failures in the US reverberated around the rest of the world i.e. the rest of the world was pulled into the all the hype and hysteria and purchased these fake articles and products the US was churning out. It got a nearly 10/10 rating.
Out of that list Blackfish is the standout for me; just one of an excellent selection of well made documentaries available on uk Netflix.
Yep good... watched it at Christmas on terrestrial TV.
Sicario.....
DEA agent joins CIA task force with very questionable tactics....
Very good ...violent and not typical American sentimentality.....
Director is doing the Bladerunner sequel and I'm a little happier knowing it's probably in capable hands....
Watched 'the big short' the other night. All about the housing market crash in the US. Very good

Yes I have to agree, great film.
would add 'the devil's double' to that list.
Thanks, I'll have a look at some of them as I'm currently laid up and off work for another 4 and a half weeks :)
Fab. I shall list that.
Dont know if ive said before but in order of disappearance is a good scandi on Netflix.
I really enjoyed "In Order of Disappearance" too but was amazed it came up in the comedies section. Either someone likes to mess with the Netflix recommendation process or they have a very different sense of humour to me. It's a great watch, just don't expect sore ribs from laughing!
Not that I had anything to do with which section that film appears in, however I thought it was a brilliant, intentionally black, comedy myself
That said, I am often accused of having a somewhat unusual sense of humour! And I agree, one of the better films on there I have seen recently.
