I go through phases where I watch a bunch of movies then go weeks or months without any desire to watch movies, but I still keep my netflix account active even when I'm not in a movie watching mood (ya I know not very cost efficient). I will sometimes see a recommendation for a movie from someone who I think thinks enough like me that even though I might not have otherwise considered some movies, I'll go ahead and add them to my queue to get around to watching eventually, and after doing that just recently, I thought why not blog my netflix queue and see if anyone has comments on what I have in there and if those movies say much of anything about me or not...
The actual queue I have is like over 200 items, but a lot of that is TV series and concerts, so I'll limit it to the top queue items. Some of these were added because someone else recommended them, some just because they looked interesting, and some I don't really know why they are there, but I must have had a reason at some time.
The Fountain
Grosse Pointe Blank - Based on someone else's top movie list
Copying Beethoven - Based on Heart's review of it
Vanilla Sky
Hot Fuzz - Based on someone else's top movie list
The Prestige
Stardust
Michael Clayton
The Final Cut
Identity
Dead Man
Children of Men
Solaris
Minority Report - hard to believe I've never seen it, but I just keep finding other stuff to watch first.
The Illusionist
Ocean's Thirteen
Deterrence
Lost in America
What Dreams May Come
The Princess Bride - Haven't watched it in years, wanted to see it again.
Dexter: Season 1: - Based on comments about in the forums here
A Scanner Darkly
There Will Be Blood - I want to see where that milkshake quote comes from
Amelie - Based on someone else's top movie list
Carnivale: Season 1
Millenium: Season 1
In general, character development, interesting dialog/conversation, plot, and atmosphere, are what are most important to me. I do have a preference for sci-fi and fantasy, but don't care much for a lot of action (most sci-fi movies have more action and less plot than I'd like, but as long as there is enough plot and dialog, I can still enjoy them)
Please feel free to make recommendations based on the above - even if its stuff I've seen, it might benefit someone else reading.
