8 Must-Watch Movies On Netflix
Kelly Braun

You know those days when you just want to watch something good on Netflix, but you have no idea what to watch? I know exactly how you feel. Take a break from the scrolling, make some popcorn, and click on one of my top picks.



1. "The Late Bloomer"

I personally found this movie to be hilarious. A 30-year-old man wonders why he has never gone through puberty. To add, he is a well-known sex counselor. Seriously – I laughed during this entire movie.


2. "In The Land Of Women"

This will keep you at your feet with its unpredictable plot. The movie features Adam Brody as he travels to Michigan to take care of his grandmother for the summer. The people he encounters during his visit change his life forever.


3. "Begin Again"

Music, love, and relationships. I first time I saw this movie was actually in the TUC Cinema on campus at the University of Cincinnati. Two young adults reconnect and make music in New York City, and I still listen to the soundtrack from this movie! Adam Levine stars in this film, making it truly another reason to watch!



4. "Take Me Home"

I remember I should have been studying for an organic chemistry exam and I couldn't stop watching this movie on the balcony at my apartment in Cincinnati. A taxi driver does a favor for a woman and drives her from New York to California for a family emergency. Two strangers get to know one another through a taxi ride full of adventures.


5. "Coming Through The Rye"


I love this movie. 16-year-old Jamie Schwartz has a passion for the book "The Catcher in the Rye" and is determined to meet author, J.D. Salinger. He wants to adapt the book into a play and perform it at his school. Everyone will love this movie.



6. "The Fly"


I remember watching this sci-fi for the first time a few years ago on a rainy day while I was on vacation in Hilton Head Island. When I saw it was added to Netflix, I was ecstatic and watched it again. A classic - I still think about this movie often.


7. "The Giver"

I read the book in middle school and loved it. The movie is also excellent and unexplainable as it takes place in a dystopian society.


8. "The Sixth Sense"

Another classic that I recently just saw it for the first time. You will be glued to the TV the entire movie as protagonist, Cole, has the ability to see dead people and works with Dr. Crowe (Bruce Willis) to help him through his terror. Watch out for the major plot twist!

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
