Five Really Great Movies on Netflix Right Now
- Safety Not Guaranteed. It may be that I love anything with Mark Duplass, it may be the odd concept, it may be the setting, but this was a unique and enjoyable movie from the early 2010s.
- The Artist. Looking for an old fashioned film to take your grandmother to? Check out this “silent” film that won best picture in 2012.
- Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Taika Waititi is good at many things, but especially good at directing boys in hilarious comedies. This is an excellent example.
- Stranger Than Fiction. Another odd little film about an accountant who suddenly finds himself with a narrator. Top-notch cast and Will Ferrell being the straight man. It charmed me.
- About Time. I resisted this for unknown reasons, but when I sat down and watched it, I fell in love with this time-travel love story. In a year when a lot of us are taking stock, this is a great film to view.
