If you liked Children of Men, Sunshine and Primer... you might also like what?→[More:]
In Netflix's "More Like This..." those movies link to each other in each case for me... Problem is, I've seen them all. But I want more like those! Any ideas?

(I've seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and 28 Days Later as well.)

Because they suck. Suck ass. I've never had more than 10 suggestions from them.

Contact, maybe. No, the alien isn't her father. It says so clearly and distinctly.

Akira? Ghost in the Shell?

Ooooh.. Lots of great ones I've seen, but also a bunch I haven't. Thanks

That's crazy. I have 1407 Suggestions from 452 ratings.

Which is far too much to sort through.

I've found some real gems based on the Netflix recommends pages (although it sometimes has recos for some really shitty films for me).

I had no idea that I'd really like Korean thriller/revenge flicks like Old Boy, Lady Vengeance and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.

I also liked the Korean monster flick the Host.

The Machinist? Brazil? Delicatessen? Also how cool was Primer? Buckets of cool.
