Tom Mangan recommended Dersu Uzala, so I added it to our Netflix Queue.

Funny, Netflix isn’t quite sure what other movies are like Dersu Uzala. I don’t really blame them — what is like a masterpiece?

I guess the list illuminates aspects of the film. These are the films it showed after I added Dersu Uzala to our queue:

• Little Big Man
• Deliverance
• Solaris (Andrei Tarkovsky, not Steven Soderbergh)
• Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears
• Stalker (more Tarkovsky)
• Shogun Assassin
• The Return
• Metropolis
• Earth
• Never Cry Wolf

Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Fritz Lang, and Burt Reynolds, no place but Netflix.
