Jon:

5 -Skills Like This

I originally reviewed the film on DVD (here), and I’m happy this great little comedy is now on Netflix’s ‘Watch Instantly’ channel for all you can enjoy. What if you were good at stealing? This clever and humorous film has a neat Denver flavor to it and was a SXSW darling.

4 -King Corn

This little documentary was a precursor to Food, Inc. as it follows to guys who were interested in seeing where a kernel of corn goes. They soon find a shading business in which High Fructose Corn Syrup and government subsidiaries are the enemies to our obesity epidemic.  There’s lots of great selections in their documentary channel, but put this higher above the others.

3 -God Told Me to…

Looking through the horror genre, Netflix’s selection feature a lot of C-grade crap, but this smart little 1970′s gem should be your ticket for some late night thrills. Larry Cohen directs this great film, one of my favorites from him, and it all leads to a thrilling and unexpected conclusion.

2 -Paradise Now

Some of you might have caught this back in 2005, but this brilliant look at two young Palestinians who are drafted as suicide bombers, get a raw look at a different side of the terrorist world. Looking for a good drama, you just found it.

1 -Chop Shop

I’ve been on the Ramin Bahrani bandwagon since this film, and while he only has three films under his belt, this is his best and most riveting. A little boy struggles to find the American Dream in a lost place behind Shea Stadium in New York. I really don’t want to talk about it too much, because the discover of this powerful, emotional, and warming drama should be left now up to you.

Donny:

5 – Pan’s Labyrinth

This is a beautiful film from beginning to end. Guillermo del Toro brings an amazing world to life and teaches important lessons in this picture, which merits multiple viewings.

4- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Another beautiful movie that sticks in your head for a long time after watching it. The fact that I can log into Netflix and watch this anytime I want to makes me smile.

3 – Fletch

Classic Chevy Chase! This is one of the best comedies I’ve ever seen. It’s got it all, cool disguises, hot ladies, an awesome hero, and a rocking soundtrack!

2 – Brick

This flick is one of the most unique movies I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen it at least 20 times and I’m not even a little tired of it.

1- The Breakfast Club

One of my favorite movies of all time! I get a sinking feeling if I don’t watch it at least once a year.
