It’s time for another post about Netflix movies! ย Thanks for all of your movie recommendations on my last Netflix suggestion post here. Of course there were a few movies I couldn’t find (as we can always find Netflix while has an array of things seems to lack the things we really want to watch!) ย But, for the cheap monthly rate, I found some more decent movies to enjoy since I was home with my cable-free parents and now I am excited to share them with you.
The Intouchables *MUST SEE*
The Intouchables is based upon a true story. ย A rich man becomes a quadriplegic after a paragliding incident and hires a young man from the hood to assist him. ย It’s entirely in French with subtitles. ย Verdict: ย This movie came as a recommendation from a girlfriend of mine, and I’m SO glad. ย I wasn’t sure how reading an entire movie would be fun, but I loved it! ย I laughed so hard I was crying tears, the sense of humor translates so well, and the reading is light. ย There are a few curse words that flash on the screen so be aware if you have readers in the home, but since the entire movie in French I couldn’t tell – the beauty of the French language. This is one of my favorite movies now, I believe it received 4.5 stars by Netflix viewers. Also, I would advise not seeing the trailer as to not spoil the movie, so I’m not going to link it.
My Best Enemy
In My Best Enemy, ย a Jew and a Nazi are best friends (this was before the war was declared). ย If you’re sensitive to anything war related like I am, don’t worry – this is a dark comedy. ย They switch places to survive and it’s over a painting, and a fiance. ย Verdict: ย I didn’t know this was a comedy and picked up on it about 30 minutes in and was relived. ย I squirm with any human suffering so this was a different twist. ย Another one where I wouldn’t suggest watching the trailer before you watch the movie. I know – this seems so wrong but I’m looking out for you.
Rabbit Proof Fence
I sawย Rabbit Proof Fenceย years ago but I had to watch it again because I knew my dad would enjoy it. ย This is based upon a 1931 true story of three Aboriginal girls who were taken from their home in effort to be servants and the ideal to essentially breed out their race over the generations. ย They didn’t want a “third race” which was mixed. ย These girls escape and follow a fence to find home. ย Verdict: Again, true stories get me. ย This is will twist your heart. ย The acting of these young girls is superb and I would watch this movie again and again. ย View trailer here.
North & South
Look for the North & South 2004 TV mini series – it’s 4 episodes. ย Apparently this is a book series turned mini series. This is a love story of a woman named Margaret Hale a middle-class southerner who is forced to move North with her parents in 1885. The adjustment is difficult, but there is a complicated love story – with a wealthy man whose family owns a cotton mill. ย Lots of other things unfold, and guess what – Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey is a huge character in it (he’s not the love interest, but another important character). ย Verdict: The rating on IMDB is 9 stars out of 10 and with nearly 14,000 reviewers. ย So, there you go. ย I’m a huge sucker for these old love stories. ย View trailer here.
As always, would love to hear your recommendations so I can watch and share with everyone!
