DegasElite Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Stranger Things Mindhunter Dracula Castlevania To name a few… All on Netflix. I do not have Hulu or Amazon Video. Thanks. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 The only streaming service we have at the moment is Disney+. We just finished up "The Imagineers", which as outstanding if you're a Disney parks fan. Next on our list will be DVD's for "Master of None", "Breaking Bad", and probably a switch to CBS All Access to watch Picard.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Disney+ will be releasing Frozen II on it's streaming service 3 months early due to this virus scare. I've got lots of VHS/DVD/and LD movies to fall back on if I need to as well. I've been enjoying Pluto TV and the PD movies at the Internet Archives. Lots of free choices...and free is good.

TrekMD Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'd recommend Voltron: Legendary Defender on Netflix. Very well written and fun to watch, even if you never watched the original.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Call me childish but I've been liking Troll Hunter episodes on Netflix. I usually watch two or three episodes on my Android tablet every night before I go to sleep. I use to watch them on my Wii until Nintendo stopped all Wii online services (damn you Nintendo!).

TrekMD Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Oh,, The Dragon Prince is another animated show that is very well done. Justin 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Labyrinth. Might not exactly be a blockbuster but it was comical. And I don't remember if it was in the late 80's or early 90's but I do remember an NBC movie that attempted to revamp the Knight Rider series called Knight Rider 2000. I always did think that Pontiac Banshee was a cool looking car...but you know, I never seen one in person. You know...I'm not sure if those are on any of the streaming services come to think of it. I only mentioned them because I thought of them LOL. Some of the older stuff is good to watch again.

We had others but they left during the late 1990's. No one wanted to rent movies any more. Or games for that matter. Most of what my area had sold off their inventory and closed shop.

Justin Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I made that Blockbuster Video graphic for our "Atari I/O Movie Club" posts back during 2015-2016. I loved the idea of us having a movie of the month club! I enjoyed it, but it became time consuming with only a few people participating and I had to drop it to focus on larger priorities. This thread reminded me a lot of the Atari I/O Movie Club, maybe it'll become its spiritual successor. I loved the Blockbuster graphic ☺️ RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Did you start Breaking Bad yet @RickR? I really enjoyed The Last Dance & am sad that it's over. I'm trying to work through my backlog of movies I need to see (it's not quite as long as my video game backlog, but it's big) but mainly find myself watching The Office or King of Queens all the time. I cannot wait to watch Hamilton on Disney+ in July!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 No, I haven't started Breaking Bad yet. We did watch "The Last Dance" (one episode left) and loved it. We've done a lot of movies. I'm also super duper excited to see "Hamilton" too, and that's why we've kept our subscription to Disney+. We've also revisited a lot of the Marvel movies. We did "Star Trek: Picard" which was just ok. "Star Trek: Discovery" season 2 -- we loved it. My wife enjoyed it so much, we went back and watched season 1 (which she didn't watch with me before).

- Ω - Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 You can get a lot of FREE stuff at the Roku website. I use an ad blocker so I don't know if they have commercials or or not, but I've never seen any. I just got done watching the old << UFO TV SERIES >> Check it out.

Gianna Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I can't believe this was posted almost a year ago 😓 I recently watched a newer movie on Hulu called Run, it was really good in the beginning, but became obvious and sort of dumb towards the end. I'd recommend the first three seasons of American Horror Story. The first season I've watched multiple times. It's very good! I'm not much of a scary movie/tv person but I really loved it.

Sabertooth Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I recently discovered Warrior on HBO MAX. It's apparently based on the writings of Bruce Lee and focuses on the Tong Wars in San Francisco. Also digging WndaVision. Also, at least we haven't run out of content yet.

nosweargamer Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Disney Plus had been rocking lately. Mandalorian was the best thing in the Star Wars universe since the original trilogy. Wandavision started slow but has become our weekly favorite. Plus they recently posted the 90s TV show Dinosaurs and I believe the original Muppet Show is arriving today. FYI - If you enjoyed The Fantastic Mr Fox, check out Isle of Dogs. Both are on Disney Plus. Sidenote: on the Ghostbusters YouTube channel they are posting episodes of The Real Ghostbusters on Saturday mornings and Ghostbusters Extreme on Wednesdays.

And over on Netflix, we are almost done with Season 3 of Schitt's Creek (which I think is really funny). Star Trek Discovery season 3 was ok. Now that it's done, we've cancelled the CBS service. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 8 minutes ago, nosweargamer said: What did you think of Picard? Picard was hit and miss for me. There are spoilers below. But I've tried to soften them as best I can. On the plus side: It's so cool to have the characters of Jean Luc Picard and Data back. But at the same time, like the modern Star Wars movies...what took so long? Everyone is so old now. No matter. The scenes with Picard and Data are the highlight of the show. Sadly, there aren't enough. There is one absolutely outstanding episode. You'll know which one if you see the whole season. Seven of Nine - WOW! Absolutely the best character on the show. I love what they did with the character. Just my opinion, but the character becomes so much more interesting than she was on Voyager. I love that they got rid of the cat suit. Hugh! Riker/Troi/family - so good. Please give us more in season 2. On the minus side: Picard's current status in Starfleet is not believable. They needed to explore and explain this more. Almost every new character is just ok. There are some pretty far-fetched story ideas here. Especially the twist at the end. They went too far in the grisly aspects. It's more "Game of Thrones" than it should be. They have two very interesting Romulan partners at the beginning of the show. They just disappear after a few episodes. A shame. nosweargamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 FYI I just got an email that Sonic the movie is on Amazon Prime. I may have to finally give it a try.
