10 Independent Films You Have to Watch on Netflix
Huffington Post

Many people use Netflix to binge watch television shows that they want to watch the series, or missed a season or what not. A lot of people don't know about the hidden treasures that could be found within Netflix, like the array of Netflix originals besides Orange is the New Black, and all the independent films that are on this amazing website. Here are a list of the top 10 independent films that you can find on Netflix. (Note: these films are not listed in any specific rank).

10. The Looking Glass

This movie deserves more recognition than it is has ever gotten. The relationship portrayed between family is one that everyone can relate too. Many can also relate to the coming- of- age aspects this movie portrays and hits right on the head of the nail. Definitely a must see.

9. Silver Linings Playbook

This movie starts out a little slow, but it tackles such a deep subject that many people don't ever think to film about. Mental illness is portrayed perfectly in this movie with the ways in which people think, handle their emotions, and then react to those emotions. It is a must watch,

8. Take Me Home

Throughout the film you tend to hate yet also love both of the main characters. Everything about them is irritating but also oddly charming. This film doesn't follow the basic "road trip" track and there is never a big scene of love proclamation but it portrays the emotions the characters feel really well so that there doesn't need to be words.

7. Waiting For Forever

This film is pretty slow but it is also one of those films in which you have to watch the whole time. Any kind of distraction will just make you miss something and then you won't be able to fully understand why what happens actually does.

6. My Last Day Without You

For anyone who thinks that love stories are corny, well this might be the corniest of them all. But it is a very good story regardless of the sappiness.

5. Keith

This movie is one that will bring you across an emotional field from anger and disgust to pulling at your heartstrings. The amount of curveballs in this movie just prove that you should have a box of tissues right next to you throughout this whole production.

4. Before We Go

You will be so angry at this movie for most of the time while watching it, especially at the end. When watching this movie you think it is just another one of those love stories that obviously has a happy ending, but don't let that fool you. Think rationally.

3. Colonia

Besides the fact that Emma Watson plays a badass who would do anything for her lover, this nothing but true film puts your head and heart in intense situations that leaves you wondering how far you would go for love.

2. My All- American

This film has a Friday Night Lights feel to it. You seem to question how Freddie can have everything and then it hits you and your emotions run wild. If you have a love for football then this movie is one you have to watch, just be prepared with tissues.

1. Stuck In Love

I may be biased because this is my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE, but I believe that EVERYONE should watch this gem. Literally, this movie is a perfect fuse of sarcasm, comedy, love and drama. It is so accurate to life in every stage. I cannot rave enough about this movie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
