Thanks for the recommendation bro.

By the way, yesterday I watched a movie called unsane, it is a thriller and the fun thing is that it was filmed using an iPhone :P but that didn't stopped Matt Damon from appearing for 2 minutes in the movie hahah

You're welcome

I checked out that title you mention and I see it's a project directed by Steven Soderbergh, who is one of the more experimental mainstream filmmakers from the USA. Besides stuff like Ocean's Eleven, he has also worked on totally different small projects like the low budget 2005 film Bubble. That's probably the film by him that I enjoyed most.

Thanks for informing me about unsane :>)

Hey, my dear! Thanks for mentioning my name! I never had Netflix and it has been almost 3 years I'm on Mubi...lovely place, some good movies, their description/captions sometimes are a bit lame/racist/imperialistic though. My girlfriend sent 3/4 complain emails... :) Enjoy!

Cool to hear you're also on MUBI. I knew nobody else who uses it, besides me.

Your girlfriend must be the complainer type. She reminds me of my mom ;>)

I had no idea Mubi was a thing, but your title had me immediately jump on in here to find out more. I think I definitely will check it out with the trial once I've had more of a browse through its selection.

Will have to check.it out. Rarely a decent movie on netflix. We have our government funded SBS Australia which plays good foreign and arthouse films for free. Whats a good recent one you have watched recently? No Lynch please 😄💖

I did watch a good one the other day.. a sci fi kinda thing called Endless i think... made on a budget amd good fun..

Finally someone who agrees with me that there's too much crap on Netflix ;>)
I tried to stay polite though, as I don't like to be a negative Nelly.

Talking about good recent arthouse films, that's a tough one. I might need to delve into my letterboxd history for that. FInd me on Discord for more movie recommendations, as I might forget about your question.

Never heard of The Endless. It looks and sounds interesting. I'll put it on my to watch list

Bye for now!

There's a lot of rubbish there for sure. I quite like some of the BBC series though as they are often very well produced, but not enough to really rate Netflix in terms of MOVIES. If you've got a VPN, check out SBS Australia which have a lot of good foreign films. I haven't watched art house per se for a long time though. When we used to go the DVD shop it seemed we had more choice - probably as big companies like Netflix weren't deciding what we watched. Plus, you could pick up the titles physically, peruse the covers, the blurbs, look at the different sections - it was just better for watching a greater range of films and we had a really good local video shop (not blockbuster) - those were the days. It's shut now of course.

Hi @vincentnijman, I'm @checky ! While checking the mentions made in this post I found out that @whatamiding and @gnashster don't exist on Steem. Maybe you made some typos ?

Woah!!! I almost missed out this post. And I understand the feeling of the what to watch and shutting the laptop down after having multiple choices and watching nothing. This is the third day, to be frank, That I have sat down and browsed through but hadn't watched anything. :-(

Let's hope tomorrow to be little different. :-)

I have heard about the MUBI, But It 'sounds' like something that I love.
