10 Bizarre Movies On Netflix You Need To Watch This Winter Break
http://fusion.net/story/190020/netflix-and-chill/

If you're looking for some new and interesting movies to watch this winter break look no further. Here's a list of the most bizarre and interesting movies available for your viewing pleasure on Netflix.

1. Cruel & Unusual:

If you like a movie that makes you think, you'll love "Cruel & Unusual." Set in a bizarre and trippy prison, our main character is accused of killing his wife and in a twist of events he finds himself in an odd predicament that neither he nor the audience can fully understand. The movie will really play with your mind and your perceptions of reality and mortality, a great watch on a calm cold night.

2. White Rabbit:


Another movie that has the audience questioning reality. This movie surrounds a troubled boy with a mental disorder that prevents him from knowing what is real and what's only in his head. It draws attention to the need for better premeditative psychiatric care in the wake of increasingly violent acts across the U.S. It's a modern commentary on violent tragedy that gives its viewers a new viewpoint and has them guessing on what is real and what isn't with a chillingly ambiguous ending.

3. Frank:

A musical genius with a papier-mâché head leads a band of misfits on a bizarre and unconventional retreat to create a new album. They find themselves spending more time than they thought creating the perfect sound for their mentally unsound leader in this quirky film that is equal parts funny and weird with some serious undertones.

4. Dirty Girl:

.

A promiscuous teen and her unlikely gay best friend are cast out in a movie set in a heavily-religious Oklahoma town in the late 80s. When her overtly sexual attitude leads her to be placed in special ed, she meets her unlikely new best friend after being forced to parent a bag of flour together. The two set out to find her long-lost absentee father and their playful road trip makes for a fun movie that gives you all the feels.

5. Enter the Void:


A psychedelic trip in movie form, Enter the Void shows an intense trip through the eyes of the main character in a surreal first person view. Watching the movie through it's entirety is nothing short of a challenge as we witness the most insane trip of all time: death. We watch as our main character transitions from life to death and what he sees is nothing short of incredible. A movie like you've never seen before to challenge the audience and their ideas of what the afterlife entails, not a movie for those who aren't up for the challenge.

5. TiMER:

What if you could find out the day and time you'll meet your soulmate? "TiMER" is based on the premise that when you're old enough, a device can be placed on your arm that starts counting down to the day you're supposed to meet your soulmate. Only problem is that if your soulmate doesn't have a timer your countdown won't begin. Our main character has had a blank timer for years and we watch her struggle as she tries to find her perfect match in a quirky and fun film with a new twist to the classic rom com genre.

7. The One I Love:


A couple once madly in love faces struggles in their marriage and their therapist suggests a couples retreat. What happens once they get there is incredibly strange and leaves the couple with more confusion than answers. The premise is a plot twist and leaves the audience guessing on the reality of the seemingly perfect weekend getaway, another movie with an ambiguous ending that leaves you wanting more.

8. Oculus:

A horror movie that'll make you think twice about looking in the mirror. "Oculus" depicts a brother-sister duo determined to prove the dangers of this mysterious mirror that claimed their childhood years ago. This sister is hell-bent on proving to the world what dangers lie beneath the glass and through this wild journey of a movie we're forced to decide what side of the mirror we're looking from as the demented wall fixture plays mind games with us all.

9. Welcome To Me:


Kristen Wiig like you've never seen her before in a serious movie as her character battles a mental disorder that isolates her from those around her. Barricaded in her little home she obsessively plays the lottery until one day she wins. Her first big purchase? Her own TV show where she lets her unusual personality shine through in televisions weirdest show where she says anything and everything that comes to her unstable mind.

10. Rubber:

A homicidal tire is on the loose that kills anyone in its way. The plot of the story makes very little sense and keeps you wondering what will happen next the whole way through. Who knew a tire could be so scary?

You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
