Do you ever feel like there are lots of great movies hiding in the world of Netflix? Are you sick of seeing the same 8 movies suggested over and over again? Are you wanting more? If you answered yes, you're in luck. Here are 11 movies available on Netflix (and a few bonus ones that aren't) that I think are well worth your time.

1. "The Best Offer"

... Virgil Oldman is an elderly and esteemed but eccentric genius art-expert, known and appreciated by the world. Oldman is hired by a solitary young heiress, Claire Ibbetson, to auction off the large collection of art and antiques left to her by her parents.

2. "The Fundamentals of Caring"

A man suffering an incredible amount of loss enrolls in a class about care-giving that changes his perspective on life.

3. "Philomena"

A world-weary political journalist picks up the story of a woman's search for her son, who was taken away from her decades ago after she became pregnant and was forced to live in a convent.

4. "Fruitvale Station"

The story of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.

5. "Mr. Nobody"

A boy stands on a station platform as a train is about to leave. Should he go with his mother or stay with his father? Infinite possibilities arise from this decision. As long as he doesn't choose, anything is possible.

6. "Take This Waltz"


A happily married woman falls for the artist who lives across the street.

7. "Beginners"

A young man is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has a young male lover.

8. "The Imitation Game"

During World War II, mathematician Alan Turing tries to crack the enigma code with help from fellow mathematicians.

9. "Atonement"

Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a thirteen-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit.

10. "Across the Universe"

The music of the Beatles and the Vietnam War form the backdrop for the romance between an upper-class American girl and a poor Liverpudlian artist.

11. "Big Eyes"

A drama about the awakening of painter Margaret Keane, her phenomenal success in the 1950s, and the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband, who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s.

Unfortunately, Netflix has removed many great movies. Should they ever come back (or if you want to find them elsewhere), be sure to check out "Call Me Crazy," "Ray," "The Lady in the Van," "Flypaper," and "Stuck in Love."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
