Netflix Hidden Gems

If it hasn't already been mentioned, Safety Not Guarenteed, The Giant Mechanical Man (absolutely beautiful movie), and A Little Help -- all fabulous movies.

I just finished binge watching Orange Is The New Black. I wasn't sure it would be something I would like, but it was soooo addictive! Well acted, and the story lines were interesting. I am looking forward to Season 2 already. Long wait though!

Thanks for the suggestion! I loved The Giant Mechanical Man

So many movies/series to watch now! Thanks guys!


I second Sherlock-- BBC series. It's really a must watch!


I like crime series so here are some of my favorite series:
Bones
Monk
The Finder
Burn Notice
Lie to Me

Not a very well known one, even among fans of Terry Prachett since many light fans don't realize there's movies, but my vote goes for Hogfather! Love it, and it has one of the quotes that is my favorite quote of all (Warning, it's a long one):

Susan: All right. I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable.
Death: Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?
Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.
Susan: They're not the same at all.
Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet, you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some, some rightness in the universe, by which it may be judged.
Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?
Death: You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?

I don't think my other favorite quote from the book is in the movie though:
“Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.”

I highly recommend Hogfather. Going Postal is pretty awesome too. ^_^

We watched The Perfect Host yesterday. That was a good one!

I'll post a serious response:

best movie I've seen on Netflix that nobody has ever heard of before: One Week starring Joshua Jackson. Great flick.

Was that the one where he did the cross Canada tour? Most of it was filmed in Alberta (and my home town) that was a great movie, and no one has heard of it.
