So, I'm drastically running out of ideas for movies to put on my Netflix list. I'd like everyone to help me out and tell me their top five movies, shows, docs., whatever, with a short description of why it deserves such ranking. Hopefully, it'll start some conflicts of opinion, muahahaha!

All of The West Wing. All of it.

Also, all of Firefly. And Serenity.

You may enjoy The Princess and the Warrior. By the same people who did Run, Lola, Run, but a very different film.

But I'm a Cheerleader is pretty good. So is Hero, if you haven't seen that yet.

Is that enough to be going on with?

Sounds like a good start. I'v heard a lot about the West Wing. I'm not sure if we already have it, though.

Saved is my new obsession. It's about realizing that everything you've been taught is a lie, but finding a way to have faith in spite of that -- which in this case is sorta like watching someone's IQ suddenly go up by 100 points.

House is a brilliant mo'fucking doctor show...and I HATE doctor shows. Hugh Laurie is the sexiest Vicodin-addicted snarky cripple EVAR. Plus sometimes they come up with really really awesome diagnoses. Like syphillis and rabies and (my personal favorite to date) LEPROSY!!!

You'd really like Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. It's romantic without being sappy, and WAY sexy. Like, whoa. I dunno. Maybe I'm just partial to outrageously beautiful Indians of both genders (Ramon Tikaram may look familiarly gorgeous to you if you watch Lost...I don't, but I think he's in the cast).

Mirrormask. Neil Gaiman story + living-moving-breathing-farting Dave McKean artwork + directed by Dave McKean (!) = modern day classic. Someday you will show it your children, along with Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal and Willow and The NeverEnding Story. It's that good.

My most recent 99 cent VHS purchase was The Shaolin Drunken Monk starring Gordon Liu (he was Pai Mei in Kill Bill 2 and he played the Head Crazy 88 in Kill Bill 1 -- he's an old school kung fu guy). It was made in 1982 and the plot is kinda lame, but it's got this incredible synthesizer soundtrack and TONS of kickass kung fu fighting. Plus there's a sex scene, which is unusual for a kung fu movie (in my experience). It's a fun flick, and since the story is sort of irrelevant you can treat it like porn -- fast forward until you get to the ACTION!
