You have your snacks, blanket, and are snuggling up with your boo (or dog I don't judge) but you have no idea what to watch. Netflix is fantastic, but I do find myself often struggling with what to watch. Since you're already all snuggled up and ready to go, I compiled a short list of some of my recent favorites on Netflix. Go watch them before they get replaced!
1. Tallulah
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Cast: Ellen Page, Allison Janney, Tammy Blanchard, Evan Jonigkeit
Vagabond Tallulah "rescues" a baby from a rich irresponsible mother. She brings her to her boyfriend's mother who mistakes the child as their own. (Witty and sweet, has major indie vibes if you're into that.)
2. The Overnight
Genre: Mystery/Comedy
Cast: Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman,
A new couple moves to LA and meets eccentric friends that invite them for pizza and give them a night to remember. (This movie is SO weird, watch it with an open mind. It's a journey, you'll be exhausted after. Plus, Piper is in it.)
3. The Invitation
Genre: Horror/Drama
Cast: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Mike Doyle
A man gets invited to a dinner party by his ex wife and her new husband, and he's suspicious of their dinner intentions. (I always guess endings, BUT you will not see this one coming. Unnerving.)
4. Hush
Genre: Horror
Cast: Kate Siegel, John Gallagher
A young deaf author living alone in the woods navigates surviving the night when a crazed masked killer shows up at her window. (One of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time. The transitions from audio to nothing is perfect.)
5. American Beauty
Genre: Drama, Romance
Cast: Kevin Spacey, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari, Allison Janney
An introspective look into the nuclear family you think you know. (An oldie but a goodie. It starts out slow, but the ending is crazy. If you figure out the rose petal symbolism, extra credit!)
BONUS
The Shallows
This one is not on Netflix yet, but you need to watch. Blake Lively is exceptional.
