Ok. I'll pop it in the instant que then and watch it when I can.

Really? I thought the movies achieved a lot more depth, or forced you to make more inferences. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the first one, at least. The shows obviously cover more distance, but superficially.
Plus, what's on Netflix streaming all the anime is dubbed, which is distracting for me.

The movies explored more, but unfortunately with Mamoru Oshii at the helm of it all the dialogue gets long and obscure and the pacing can sometimes get absurd. That said, both movies are a very fine spectacle, Kenji Kawai makes both chilling, and whatever action there is in the second one is fun because they weave in detective mystery well up until the mindfuck (literally yay) sequence.
In my opinion SAC was much more subtler. Not always, but the philosophy wasn't in-your-face and read out for you as much. Some of the early Stand Alone episodes really shine in this respect, as well as a lot of the Complex episodes.

And for Kenji's fans - From his only live concert from last year.

His Ghost in the Shell work is my absolute favorites of what he's done. This and also the final track from Innocence chilled me to my fucking spine.
