What's in your queue?

The Pajibas are starting a new pickup-line game. But being the dork that I am, I am Q-less. So I leave it to you Netflix cretins to carry the flag.

And no, I'm not interested in signing up. Again with the red envelopes!

Yips! from Robbo: Red envelopes rule! As you can see, my queue is all over the map at the moment -

1. Ghostbusters
2. Heathers
3. Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You For The Last Time…
4. The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming
5. Victor Borge's Funniest Moments
6. Dennis Miller: All In
7. The Matrix
8. The Mummy Returns
9. Fargo
10. Rio Bravo
11. The Comancheros
12. Amadeus
13. Persuasion
14. Idiocracy
15. Casino Royale

Nos. 6, 9, 14 & 15 are new to me. The rest I've seen, most of them many times.

Yips! from Gary: I'm kind of on a Star Trek:TNG and Monty Python original series binge right now, but after that mine goes like this -

1. Stranger Than Fiction
2. Hysterical
3. Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (disc one)
4. Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder (disc two)
5. Ed Wood
6. Murder By Death
7. Capricorn One
8. Westworld
9. The Hollywood Knights
10. Wholly Moses
11. Election
12. Silent Movie
13. The Big Red One: Special Edition
14. Over The Edge
15. The Odessa File
16. The Secret of Roan Inish
17. The Best of Triumph The Insult Comic Dog
18. The Last Detail
19. Parenthood
20. You Can't Take It With You

1, 3-4, 5, 11, 15, 17 & 18 fall under the "never seen" category. #13 has a lot of footage added back (like "Apocalypse Now: Redux") so technically I haven't seen the whole thing. I've seen parts of #17 (most notably the Bon Jovi Tour and the Star Wars Geeks in Line bits).

Overall pretty obscure stuff. Especially if you're under 35 or didn't have cable until the mid-80's.

Don't get discouraged when Bond doesn't nail some chick within the first, oh, twenty minutes or so. This ain't the Bond we grew up with.

Well, if you're an orgle fan, that goes without saying.

OrgleFan is interested in broads? Me too, but his (her?) list is seriously lacking in that regard.

The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming. A classic. When things go wrong 'Emergency! Everybody to get from street!' is known to pop into my head. That the reasonable reaction the islanders have to a crisis -- 'Nah-mahn! They're openin' up the bah!'. Ah, its all coming back...

Capricorn One is the reason my sister believes the moon landing was faked by NASA. That movie is a classic among cheesy classics.
