Strangely, some of what I added are not new movies I've seen (although 3 are) but old favorites I watched again this year and decided they have a spot on the list. The bold ones are the new additions.
I did a pretty pisspoor job of getting around to the ones on my dad's and sisters' lists I hadn't seen. I did knock out quite a few, but not as many as I'd wanted. So now my top ten Netflix are...(and yes, I've seen Brazil, but it's been ages and it seems like it should be on the list).
La Cage aux Folles
Babette's Feast (I tried to watch this recently but Netfux sent a broken one)
Logan's Run
Brazil
Howards End
The Browning Version
Breakheart Pass
Becket
Diva
Zorba the Greek

I was obsessed with la confidential in college. i actually wrote 2 paper invovling it as a central theme...
It's a damn near perfect thing, that movie. I read the book after, which is also perfect, and found the movie was actually a BITCHIN well-played adaptation where they chose to cut the right things. SO RARE.
Both "Kicking and Screaming" and "After Hours" are in MY Top 10 too!
Technically they aren't in any order, but I started to make just the top 10 in order, hence those two being in there! Those may even be in my top five...(or at least top six or seven).
