The first one, just titled "Monsters", is a great little indi/low-budget scifi. You should check it out. I avoided the sequel because I heard it was bad, but now you bastards are throwing out comparisons to Black Hawk Down (one of my fav movies) and The Hurt Locker, so now I really want to watch it.

Don't. Almost nothing actually happens. I mean, it isn't the worst movie I've ever watched, but it wasn't something I'll ever watch again either, and I won't miss it if it completely vanishes from my memory.
EDIT: Yes, I saw the first one as well, and liked the first one much more. Still not great, but a decent watch. Second one, not so much.

just watched it. Same.
Thought the name looked familiar, didnt connect it to the first one, till you guys talking. I had skipped over it, due to the 1 star rating netflix was listing for me.
so watched it after being talked up here. its.. .ok. not much happens. Sortof a more military, no shitty ass shakeycam Cloverfield. Great FX. the 1 star rating is lower then it should be. but the movie itself is kindof boring, and not super memorable, so would not actually recommend it.

I really enjoyed that movie. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned here or on FoH, which got me to watch it, and I was pleasantly surprised. Subtitles, if you don't like those, but other than that well worth the watch.

I will chime in on These Final Hours.
Thought it was going to be an apocalyptic violence fest and while it has some of that, it is much more emotional and tied to the 'growth' of the main character as a person during the end of the world. Lots of boobies during the party scene as well! (Note: There is a child that whines/complains/asks for help in about 75% of the movie - Not as bad as the little boy from the Babadook. Just put this in here because some people lost their shit over that kid.)

It's like a "children's" movie was written in the 80s with awesome scores and great story and time warped to 2007. I loved it.

Helps that it's from a Neil Gaiman novel as well since, well just about everything he does is awesome.

Was just scrolling through Netflix on the Recently Added section. Looked interesting. Really glad I watched it. It's totally performance/story based. It's an indie film from Australia about the world coming to an end very shortly. Really good performances, especially by the lead, and a very classy and touching take on apocalypse.

"The One I Love", Mark Duplass and Elizabeth Moss with a small role by Ted Danson.
Not at all what I expected. It's tagged as a comedy/drama. I didn't think it was a comedy at all. You can't tell this by the description but it's a sci-fi? Fantasy? Ambiguous.
I liked it either way.

Just watched Stardust after you guys talked about it in this thread and it was great. Can't believe I missed it back when it came out, now i'm gonna have to do some extensive digging and see if there are any more movies I missed that I shouldn't have.
I don't think there is a similar thread for HBO Go titles, but I watched a movie on there called Coffee Town that I thought was hilarious. It has Glenn Howerton (Dennis from Always Sunny...), Ben Schwartz (Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Rec) and Steve Little (Stevie Janowski from Eastbound and Down). It also has the insanely hot Adrienne Palicki, who regrettably, does not get naked. Josh Groban was pretty funny in it as well.

Turns out that it was shot for $7,000 dollars. They made one of the top 10 (arguably top 5) sci-fi movies of the last 15 years for less than what a bunch of us earn in a month. Astounding.
