List of movies to watch instantly on Netflix

I would guess the majority of people that I know have a Netflix subscription.  I would also surmise that these people use the Watch Instantly feature far more often than the actual DVD service.  The selection of movies on the Netflix instant queue is large and varied.  There are many classic movies as well as recently released films.  However, even with all these options it seems that sometimes it is hard to find a movie that one really wants to watch.  I am sure that some people do not have this dilemma and do not watch enough movies or stay awake long enough to really care.  However, surely there are also people like me.  Those that have seen a lot of movies and are always interested in a film that is under the radar.  This is a search that I did myself some time back when I was up late one night and wanted to watch a good movie.  I don't watch movies more than once and had already seen everything that looked interesting.  A google search did return a few lists of suggestions.  I can't remember what I found, but I venture to say some of these were included.

Below is my list of 20 movies that you can watch right now on the Netflix instant queue.  You might have already seen or heard of some of these, but hopefully there are a few that you can check out the next time you are up late and don't want to rewatch episodes of Family Guy.  I have included a very brief description of each. Thank you as always for stopping by and please share any suggestions that you have!


  1. Winter's Bone- Suspenseful story of Appalachian family troubles.
  2. Exit Through the Gift Shop- Documentary about artist, Banksy.
  3. The Wild and Wonderful Whites- Documentary about crazy family in WV.
  4. Sin Nombre- Foreign film about escaping hard life in Latin America.
  5. The Boondock Saints- Irish Brothers kill mobsters.
  6. Wet Hot American Summer- Comedy with most of the cast from the State.
  7. The Good, the Bad, the Weird- Asian spaghetti Western.
  8. Brick- Unique film that shows Highschool with a noir gangster twist.
  9. Cocaine Cowboys- Documentary about drug trade.
  10. Four Lions- Comedy about suicide bombers...much funnier than it sounds.
  11. Let the Right One In- Foreign vampire movie, recently remade but this one is better.
  12. District B13- Parkour!!!
  13. Mystery Team- Comedy starring Troy from Community.
  14. Eternal Enemies: Lions and Hyenas- Documentary about nature in Africa.
  15. Red Hill- Australian revenge Western.
  16. Hobo with a Shotgun- I am not even sure that I liked this movie, but definitely original.
  17. Tucker & Dale vs. Evil- Comedy/ horror movie about mistaken identity.
  18. Trollhunter- Foreign film that is a cross between Blair Witch and Jurassic Park... with Trolls.
  19. The Way Back- a lot of walking... more interesting than it sounds.
  20. Cave of Forgotten Dreams- Werner Herzog documentary about cave paintings in France.
  21. Pulling-  this is an extra suggestion because it is actually a British TV show.  I thought it was great, slightly similar humor to original Office.

Finally, since this is a website mostly dedicated to photography, I wanted to share a picture that I made recently and really like.  I feel it is a good example of how one can find inspiration and beauty in unlikely places.
