Netflix can sometimes seem like a bottomless pit of movies you love and have seen countless times, movies that look ridiculous and you'll never watch, and movies that are great but might be overlooked. These 15 films are all currently available on Netflix, and are all well-regarded by me and/or the people of the Internet. You may have seen some already, or you may not. Either way, they're all worth checking out the next time you're avoiding that pile of homework or having movie night on the couch.
