Help me.

Other genres too! We really enjoy documentaries as well, but I'm in the mood for some comedies I haven't seen before.

TIA!

Changed title from "comedies" to "movies"......

Not a comedy. Not at all. But I tell everyone they must watch Iron Jawed Angels.

look, i quoted myself! i am so proud.
um...i didn't finish reading your post until AFTER i wrote these.
none of these are comedies...AT ALL. but they are really good.
the docu. is one of those movies that will have you luaghing and crying every two seconds, sometimes at the same time. its just a musical/dance journey from india to spain through the middle east...classic NIP moment during the egyptian scene...and the most beautifully filmed movie ever.
seriously, now i am going to rent it.
maybe i should now quote myself quoting myself....

I'm really interested in latcho drom, but I can't find it on Netflix. They usually have everything. Can you check the spelling for me? Or, who's the director?

We also Netflix a ton of documentaries (nearly 1/2 of our viewing) so I know that need to get away and laugh. We enjoyed Stranger than Fiction and Little Miss Sunshine. Recently viewed more lighthearted documentaries: Wordplay, Dinner for Five series, Danielson: a family movie, and I Like Killing Flies.

i am surprised too. it is a french film, the english translation would be SAFE TRAVELS..
directed by tony gatlif...
google it for more info, i see they are selling it on amazon.
if you have a more indie video store in town they migt have it.

if one doesn't watch it too critically, Trust the Man is queue-worthy.

Thank you for all the replies! Really, truly, I think we'll have movies for weeks and weeks now

We just watched Pan's Labyrinth. I loved it!

We started watching "Sicko" via internet last night.

Me too! And I almost deleted it from my queue because it showed up here on somebody's Most Hated list. To each his own.
