A few more mumblecore films that are on Netflix that I haven't yet seen:
Medicine for Melancholy
Red Flag
Somebody Up There Likes Me
The Off Hours (heard it's not great though)
A couple mumblecore films I've watched recently on Netflix that were not bad:
The Lie (directed by and starring Joshua Leonard, "Josh" from Blair Witch)
Nobody Walks (stars John Krasinski from The Office)
A few I've watched recently, not on Netflix:
The GoodTimesKid -- pretty unique style for mumblecore, not much mumbling.
A few Joe Swanberg films, who IMO is the most purist of the mumblecore directors, and a bit disturbing in a kinda creepy guy way. He's acted in a few mumblegore films (which tend not to be pure mumblecore, but related in one way or another) - V/H/S, A Horrible Way to Die, You're Next.
Alexander the Last - features Jess Weixler from "Teeth", explores themes of jealousy and the blurring of fiction and reality for actors.
Silver Bullets - similar in theme to Alexander, but darker and more art house. Psychologically tense and unnerving at times. Not really a horror film / mumblegore, as it's sometimes classified as. It's drama.
Uncle Kent - this one was the most affecting to me, really awkward and believable. You don't know whether to love or hate the guy, and the fact that you might relate to him somehow is a bit depressing, but the reason the film is so good.
