Good shows/movies on Netflix?

I would like some suggestions as to what movies or shows that are on Netflix (instant streaming) that I should watch. Genre doesn't really matter. So, what are some movies or series that you like or would recommend that are on there? I never really notice anything that looks particularly interesting to me, due to my close-mindedness. Also, I don't care how old it is. Anyway, suggestions are appreciated, I assure you.

Exit Through the Gift Shop was really good.

I'm watching Bizzarre Foods right now, it's fun.

The Puffy Chair is a total gem.

The X-Files

If you got the time, you absolutely need to watch Lost. It's the best TV series I've ever seen.

A short list of things on instant I've seen and rated highly:  Full Metal Jacket, Gojira, Jules and Jim, The Big Lebowski, The Red Shoes, Matchstick Men, Brick, Moon, Seven Samurai, Quills, Ong-Bak, The Host, The Good The Bad and The Weird, Heartbreaker, Teeth, Metropolis, Being John Malkovich, Network.   
 
That's enough to get you started. Diverse group, nothing too weird. 

cheech and chongs awww yaaa

For the love of god you must watch Let The Right One In. 
 
One of the best foreign films-- no scratch that, one of the best films I've seen in years, period. It's a Swedish film that really does a fantastic job of portraying the difficulties of childhood and has one of the most authentic love stories to come around in a long time. I think many will be turned off by the fact that it has vampires but I assure you this is not Twilight or just some other "vampire movie". It's awesome, check it out.  
 
EDIT: Also there's the entire series of the Larry Sanders Show. In April, they're adding the complete Twin Peaks series. 

They recently added season 5 of Futurama if that is your cup of tea.

There's a documentary called "Fat Head" which was really funny and quite eye-opening. The premise is this guy who is trying to prove Morgan Spurlock (the guy behind "Supersize Me") wrong. He eats only fast food for a month and actually gets healthier.

If you haven't watched 24, you have to at some point.  It's about the only show that I have every watched every week for several years in a row.  It had a season or two that were weak, but it finished strong.

The entire series of Futurama, including the movies, is available on instant.

All 70 seasons of Scrubs just got "streamed". At a certain point, quantity overwhelms quality and you just don't care how rote the show is.

Goodfellas and Casino are both on streaming, or at least were a couple of weeks ago when I watched them. They're both long, but really well done and fun to watch. I'm not even a huge mob/crime drama kind of guy either.
 
Little Shop of Horrors (1986 version). It's a musical, but the cast is great and it's got good comedy. It inspired Family Guy to do this: 
  

I've become totally hooked on Battlestar Galactica over the past two weeks. Every season is up.

It's so crazy that so many people like Fargo. 
I live here, and can't tell you the amount of times i've told someone that "Fargo" the movie was filmed in Brainerd, MN. 
Nonetheless it is a great film, if a bit exaggerated.
 
Oh and based on an older Screened recommendation, I watched "Thankskilling" .. ridiculous, but funny/horrible!

I was watching The Eiger Sanction earlier on Netflix for the first time in quite awhile. It struck me that most people on Giant Bomb were probably younger than the film itself, and not only that, had probably never even heard of it.

It's worth a watch for the beautiful cinematography in Zion National Park alone..just don't take it too seriously!

I randomly watched Dazed and Confused one night, and being in the mood for something light with an 80s vibe, it really struck a cord. Love that movie.

Take Shelter is fantastic, but I don't know if you can stream it.

Hey Arnold!

Iron Sky

All day

Chuck was a pretty great show for the first couple seasons.

They just recently added the first season of Comedy Bang Bang. Some fun random stuff.

"Cake Boss!"

Rocko's Modern Life - If you ever watched this cartoon as a kid, you will quickly realize of just how cleverly written the show was. Trust me, the show is even more enjoyable as an adult. Especially the scenes with, Really Really Big Man.
