Top Gun coming soon? YES!!!
You are in for a real treat with Luther.
I will watch it later tonight. I looked up a trailer for it, and it looks like something I would enjoy.
It is a well written show. By the end of the season, you want more. Reason I hate recommending canceled shows lol.
Branch out. That is the beauty of streaming, and the selection. If I took your approach, I would have never had discovered Terriers, Nakita, Supernatural, Portlandia, Weeds, Battlestar Galactica, Vampire Diaries, etc.
Seen all those.
I have literally seen all of the good shows on Netflix. Off the top of my head i have seen (not including the ones you listed)
The Walking Dead
Breaking Bad
Lost
Sons of Anarchy
Alias
Numb3rs
30 Rock
Arrested Development
How i met your mother
Dr Who
Raising Hope
Psych
White Collar
Burn Notice
24
Bones
West Wing
The Office
Always Sunny
The League
Louie
Parenthood
Scrubs
Life
Revenge
Rescue Me
X-Files
Jericho
Warehouse 13
Eureka
I can keep going.. It would probably be easier to list the shows i haven't seen that are on netflix because the list would be incredibly shorter. Some people are movie buff/fanatics, i am a TV buff/fanatic.
Lost Girl
Star Trek (all of the versions)
Ally McBeal
So far those are the only shows that i haven't seen that might interest me from what i just skimmed through.
I have seen pretty much every movie as well lol.Then its time to cut into that movie backlog.
I have a stupid amount of free time. The only movie that i see on netflix as i am skimming through right now is V/H/S and i keep hearing mixed things about it so.. I'm sure i could find some foreign flicks i haven't seen yet but i have to be in a certain mood to want to watch something with subtitles and right now i just don't feel like reading.
EDIT- Jeff Lives at Home, Butter and Guns, Girls and Gambling are some flicks i haven't seen yet.

Ok, I am going to describe the movie and you geniuses come up with the name since I can not recll it. The benefit is that you will find an awesome movie on Netflix!
In short, it is about a cop-killing homicidal maniac. But what really amde me like it is that the maniac kind of had a clock-work orange swagger about him. He was a very happy-go-lucky chap at times while others he was very focused. Anyway, if anyone recalls the name then that would be awesome.

V/H/S is a mixed bag. The first story and the last one are good-some of the others are...ok. And the one in the middle where people go out into the woods is god awful, amateur level shit.

Yep, it comes back to me now. It was Blitz. Did you like it?
You weren't kidding about the shows you have seen lol.
Take a look at: Hells on Wheels, Bob's Burgers, Workaholics, Life on Mars, Mad Men, FlashForward, Nip/Tuck, Better of Ted, Reaper, and Breakout Kings.
I have seen all of those.
Mad Men is the only show on that list that i didn't finish because i found it extremely boring.
I thought it was alright, one of Statham's better films over the past few years but that isn't really saying much.

Hell on Wheels is good. I give it 8/10

I know what you mean. He pumps out a film quarterly. There is nothing else he can do that I would like to see acted out except quitting, lol.
First season i really enjoyed but the new season was um.. Interesting i guess you could say lol.
What about X-Files? I watched it off when it originally aired but never the full thing, i just remembered i never watched the entire series and never got around to re-watching out of fear it doesn't hold up.

Didn't The West Wing get added yesterday on Netflix?
Also, The Fringe should start by next weekend (as soon as the current season ends).

West Wing has actually been up since like late december.

Ah, OK. Thought it was part of yesterday's Warner deal.

I feel the same way about LOST. X-files is mediocre when you watch the occasional show. There are details that build on top of each show that will get you hooked if you have the imagination to run with it.
A lot of people/sites are reporting that but it's been up since late december. I don't know if Netflix added it early on accident or what but yeah it's been there.

Uh, I assume you don't have an US account or something? Because the instant queue seems to be pretty much that.
Instant Queue?

I don't like the Netflix version of Apple Genius. I think its labaled "because you watched *blank*" and then you have to choose from a mound of shite movies to finally find one that is actually somewhat related to the genre you picked in the first place.
Oh, because you've watched Die Hard II, we would now like to recommend the Ya Ya Sisterhood. GTFO!

Star Trek Insurrection is listed for me under "Because you watched Beverly Hills Cop", the others listed mostly make sense.

damnit... when is the new season of The Deadliest Catch coming out?
I need my crab fix! :/

I use a combination of feedflicks.com, and instantwatcher.com.
Also, the op will have a nice list of upcoming releases.

I think the only reason for that is that they are both released by Paramount. I've seen sometimes where the only commonality is the studio that released the film.
Using Unblock-Us but we mainly watch Netflix using the app on our WDTV Live Streaming player.
Just watched Lilyhammer and Bob's Burgers due to the recommendations on the first page, enjoyed both and will continue watching.
I watched the first episode. If you like cheese, shitty CG, and poor acting, it's perfect. Perhaps if you love Buffy the Vampire Slayer or similar shows, you'll also enjoy Lost Girl, but I doubt it.
Actually no, I don't seem to have an instant queue showing even when using Unblock-Us and accessing Netflix.com on the PC either.

If you created the account on a different region it might depend on that. Since I know UK users do not have an Instant Queue even when accessing the US one.
EDIT: I also use Unblock-US and I have an Instant Queue, so it isn't that.

Must watch if you've never seen it.
Also awesome.

This is that show that's similar in a way to X-Files, right? I catch episodes every now and then on the Science Channel. Seems like something I would like, but since I watch the episodes out of order I get lost sometimes with the overall main arch.
Kinda similar to the X-Files, but you have to replace UFOs with alternate universes.
Welcome to Korea Korner, here are your assignments:
Most of those are dark thrillers with some touchy subjects, so keep that in mind. At the very least, you should watch the first three in that list. Other Korean films people might recommend are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and I'm a Cyborg but That's Ok. I personally did not care for any of those.
- Oldboy (probably the most famous Korean movie outside of Korea, but for good reason)
- The Man From Nowhere (just a badass action movie)
- The Chaser (one of my favorite movies of all time)
- Mother
- Castaway on the Moon (a quirky little love story, but worth your time)
- The Yellow Sea (same director as The Chaser)
- Thirst (even if you don't like vampires, it's worth watching)
- The Good, the Bad, the Weird
- I Saw the Devil
- The Host
- Going by the Book (a fun crime/comedy movie that is unexpectedly great)

I'm with you on The Chaser, amazing movie. I just re-subbed and checked out their Korean stuff, and WTF at Attack the Gas Station 2. Had no idea that even existed, the first one is excellent.

Will Justified ever get added to Netflix? Deadwood is one of my favourite tv shows...
Just finished up watching Jericho. Another great show that was canceled before its time. The premise of the show is, 23 American cities are wiped out through use of nuclear bombs. You watch as a small city tries to make sense of it all.
The first season was fantastic. Lots of mysteries that keeps you hooked for the next episode. The acting can be spotty, but overall, I think the cast is good.
Season 2 is rushed, and I think would have been just as good, if given the proper 13/21 season episodes.
If you are into the what-if scenarios, I think you should check the series out.

That damn show just has no luck at all.
Yeah, as much as I like Jericho, I'm not wasting perfectly good nuts.
Although, I get the reference. Didn't know Netflix was close to a deal for season 3.

Mary is gorgeous but a bitch. Sybil is the best of the sisters.
And of course the Dowager Countess is boss. Maggie Smith is so awesome.
I think it's supposed to be the demon trying to shock the Priest or something.
