Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations

So my family has Netflix instant, and I know firsthand how tough it can be to sort through all of the junk available and find a good movie to watch. So here are some movies I have found that I enjoyed, hopefully this list will help you next time you’re looking for a film to watch. Listed in no apparent order.

• The Cross and the Switchblade
  • Don’t forget to read the book!
• Gnomeo & Juliet
  • Fluff but all right.
• Howl’s Moving Castle
  • Awesome movie, but again, make sure to read the book
• Astro Boy
  • World similar to Wall-E, robots instead of fat people. Good animation.
• The Iron Giant
  • Classic! At least for my generation.
• Chariots of Fire
  • Haven’t actually gotten around to watching, but classic.
• It Could Happen to You
  • Interesting plot, cute story.
• My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend
  • Surprisingly awesome. Watch all the way to the end, and you’ll most likely want to watch again.
• Alice in Wonderland
  • I’ve watched this twice halfway through… yet to get to the ending =P
• Secretariat
  • Yet to watch to the end, as well…
• Thumbelina!
  • Ha ha! This is a childhood favorite.
• Ponyo
  • Miyazaki is a genius.
• Tangled
  • Best. Day. Ever!

  • Cute love story.
• Funny Girl
  • Absolute classic musical, wonderful songs.
• Arsenic & Old Lace
  • O so funny. “This is turning into a very bad habit..”
• To Sir, With Love
  • Interesting tale of a teacher who makes a huge difference. End song was later on fantastically sung by Glee in a season finale.
• The Last Song
  • Another love story… I don’t know anything about Miley Cyrus but she was good in this film.
• Mansfield Park
  • From what I had heard, I wasn’t expecting this to be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. Good adaptation of Austen’s book.
• Ever After
  • If you are watching this movie on Netflix because you do not already own it, you have my pity.
• Waiting for Forever
  • A well made movie with an indie feel… good, good movie. Break from cliche, bubbly romances.

Shows:
