I was discussing films with my wife’s cousin at a wedding a few weeks ago, and we promised to trade suggestions for good movies that aren’t commonly discussed. In order to compile my list, I pulled up my Netflix history and started copying and pasting titles. As the list grew longer, I decided to blog it. Friends are always asking me for movie advice anyway, so it’s nice to put a list on paper, so to speak.
This is not a list of “under the radar” movies or “indie” films that lived up to the hype. Nor is this a list of all the great movies since Hollywood went talkie. It’s merely a subjective list of films I’ve enjoyed that might not be very well known to casual movie fans in their 30s or younger. Some are new, some are old, some are blockbusters, and some are independent productions. I’ve tried to skip over the more ubiquitous titles and provide a diverse compilation for people who are running out of new releases for their Netflix queues.
