I would like to compile a comprehensive list of good movies/documentaries to watch on this since so many threads are started about the feature. I will update below with suggestions...unless they suck. I want to leave TV shows out of this because there are so many and to each his own.
Feel free to ask about/discuss any of the following.

The Fisher King
Kicking and Screaming (1995)
Gonzo
Super Size Me

Cashback
The Ghost and the Darkness
Dirty Work
Serenity
Moon
Donnie Darko
Caddyshack
Beavis and Butthead Do America
Raising Arizona
The Big Lebowski
Barry Lyndon
Fanny and Alexander (IMO Bergman's best and Instant Watch's best; watch in chunks if you don't have over 3 spare hours)
The 400 Blows
Pan's Labyrinth
Amarcord
Cool Hand Luke
Vertigo
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
M
The Twilight Samurai
Glory

This list will be enourmous. Your best bet is to rate as many movies as you can on their site, and let them add them to the Movies You'll Heart section. They haven't let me down yet.

They have so many and it's great because you don't have to wait for 4 or 5 different discs in the mail.

I know you don't want to include tv shows, but suggesting Serenity without a parenthetical to suggest watching the "Firefly" series first is a major fail.

I tend to only use instant when it's something they don't have on disc. Last week it was Looking for Mr. Goodbar this week it's gonna be Walkabout.

I think we can nail down the better movies to watch on there. Please don't put anything that YOU would not rate FOUR stars or higher.
The list will be ever changing due to additions and subtractions, but this should be a good guide for anyone who does not want to sift through the 10,000 movies or rate over 200 to whittle your heart list down.

for someone who does not want to get into the series...I thought the movie was excellent...quite a surprise.
But you are right, the Firefly series is great.
DO NOT wait on your friends to watch this movie with you...you will thoroughly enjoy it alone.

I wholeheartedly endorse this idea (the sticky). I almost started this thread the other night but crawfished at the last minute.
