Reptile. I hadn't seen anyone mention this movie, so I thought I would recommend it. One of those movies where you wait for the end credits so you can figure out who the cinematographer is.

I've been watching movies on Kanopy. It's through the library system so you sign up with your library card. They have a massive and bizarre catalog that runs the gamut of B-movies, documentaries, erotica but also award circuit art house films, classic European and Asian Criterion type stuff, and classic 80's goofball comedies.
I finally caught up on Killing of a Sacred Deer (not fully successful but memorable and delightfully weird), and The Green Knight (I thought it was awesome, took some pages from The Northman or The Last Duel- like wait, Disney was wrong Medieval times were gritty!).

I use Kanopy, great platform. Always interested in hearing about good stuff on there, will add these to my list.
I can recommend The Velvet Queen, watched recently on there..

Kanopy is fantastic. Been using it for years. Just the music docs it has (and had) make it outstanding. A recent watch was Possessor by son of Cronenberg. Enjoyed it. Plus where else you finding 90's indie rock schlock like Half Cocked?
Just some of what I have watched on it and in queue.
On Netflix check out Fall of the House of Usher. The wife and I liked it a lot.

I found a Nelson Algren documentary on Kanopy when I had access some time ago. It was impossible to find anywhere else.

The Killer. It's an empty stylistic exercise, but a well-executed one. There are worse ways to kill a couple of hours.

I was hyped for that^^ and then people started linking to articles saying he beat the shit out of his girlfriend in 2009.
I am no longer hyped.

Blue Eye Samurai was pretty good for the type of thing I'm usually not into at all.
