What Movies Are Showing On Netflix?
The world health crisis has been keeping everyone indoors. This, of course, means that internet services have been in higher demand than ever before. More specifically, Netflix has been enjoying a level of popularity that is has previously only dreamed of.
But what has the world been watching on Netflix? There are, after all, a great many shows to take into consideration, so finding what appeals to your specific tastes can be a challenge.
Here is our list of Netflix content that has been getting the most attention.
E.T.
The Spielberg mega-hit E.T. is one of the most loved films of all time, so putting it on Netflix was a no-brainer. What is astonishing, however, is that this classic not only holds up after all these decades, but still happens to be one of the best family fantasy adventures of all time. There is no question that Spielberg knows how to put together a masterpiece, and E.T. is the undeniable proof. If you haven’t watched it recently, see it again. Just be prepared to have the tissues nearby.
Zodiac
Zodiac, originally released in 2007, didn’t exactly explode at the box office. But now with two of its stars finding a home in the MCU, Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo, interest in this serial killer thriller has suddenly spiked through the roof. As the name suggests, it deals with the hunt for the infamous real life Zodiac killer, who stalked the streets in the 60s and 70s. It is an interesting, engaging film, even beyond seeing Iron Man and Hulk when they were a decade or so younger.
Uncut Gems
Yes, Adam Sandler can come along every once in a while and blow audiences away. Uncut Gems proves, once again, that Sandler is in fact a great actor. This slow, darkly comedic film follows a jeweller as he struggles with debts, family issues, and an otherwise bleak existence. It certainly isn’t for the kids, but is a provocative watch for everyone else who also enjoys more adult pursuits like bingo en Perú.
Tiger King
You’ve probably heard about it, and are already aware of all the hype. Tiger King is a fascinating, even if deeply disturbing, docu-series that delves into private zoos in the United States. The events that unfold are almost beyond belief, touching on animal cruelty, cult-like polygamous relationships, and even murder on more than one occasion. It will blow your mind, even as you wonder if the events taking place could possibly be true. Spoiler; they are.
District 9
Released in 2009, District 9 is a science fiction film that explores segregation and xenophobia in a realistic urban setting. Extra-terrestrial aliens have landed in South Africa, and are now being kept in a zone referred to as District 9. A bureaucrat named Wikus is tasked with relocating them, which results in a winding, twisting tale of redemption and betrayal. District 0 is a darkly comedic film that, although a touch on the nose with its allegory, remains one of the most unique films of the century.
