Since I live in a cave on my own, I don't know many movies to get from Netflix. Can anyone think of some good films I might want to receive in the mail? Almost any options are possible.

You'd be surprised how I've seen just about all of them. I added Snatch and the Machinist. I also saw Touching the Void twice.

"The Canyon" (2009) About a couple who get chased by wolves on a trip to Grand Canyon. So its pretty inaccurate, everyone knows the canyon wolves are friendly.
"Shoot to Kill" 1988 Nice hiking scenery, shot in British Columbia

For a good laugh get the "Re-Animator" series (3 of them). Horror, but if you try to take them seriously you'll be disappointed. So poorly done (on purpose?) that they're really humorous!

Here's one that you might not be able to find any other way: The Long Good Friday (the original 1980 version starring Bob Hoskins and Hellen Mirren). It's my all-time favorite gangster movie.
