Sleeper is very funny. Take the Money and Run is very funny. Bananas is pretty funny. Annie Hall is the best romantic comedy ever made. Radio Days is funny, but more a nostalgic look at New York and, well, radio.

These are probably the only Woody Allen movies I'd recommend to a non-fan or someone who wants to give Woody Allen a try and needs a place to start. Take the Money and Run and Sleeper are probably the best ones to start with.

Being There is really good, but may be a bit slow. Man, I used to LOVE Time After Time, but I wonder how it holds up after so many years. The Killing Fields is still a great movie. And The Time Machine (I'm guessing this is the 1960 Rod Taylor version) is a classic and still fun to watch.

A few old movies worth watching if they're on the list of what's available (how come I can't just browse the whole list without signing up?) :

On The Waterfront
The Misfits
Hud
Midnight Cowboy
Paper Moon

Those are all amazing movies.

And a few old comedies that I love: Father Goose, Mr. Roberts, and Operation Petticoat. Check 'em out.

The Office (BBC) complete series
Vertigo
Revolver
Full Metal Jacket
30 Days of Night

Dial M For Murder is a great Hitchcock movie. They also have S1 of The Twilight Zone (I wish they had them all).

I really wish they had more older films on it.

I haven't seen this one yet, but I've liked other Klaus Kinski/Werner Herzog films:
Aguirre: The Wrath of God

(it's only up until February 1st)

The best part about Watch Instantly is how many true question marks there are out there; I've never heard of half this stuff!

A solid, 3-star "question mark" is the Ray Stevenson film Outpost. Surprisingly creepy, it's worth the free rental, especially if you're into zombie Nazis!!!
