I just spent most of the last month watching movies with a Netflix trial subscription; this adds up to a lot of movies, maybe even than i'd seen prior, maybe not.
These are the ones that moved me the most:
- Monsters (American)
- The Life Before Her Eyes (American)
- Tell No One (French)
- Don't Look Back (French/Italian)
- Evil (Swedish)
- Exam (British)
- The Host (Korean)
- Keith (American)
- The Jacket (American)
- Let The Right One In (Swedish)
There are a bunch of other movies I really liked, as well. Naturally, most of these are SF/Horror, including re-watching Ginger Snaps, Jennifer's Body, & Smilla's Sense of Snow, but the bulk of the others seem to be pyschodramas or mysteries with romantic elements. I also watched a bunch of Noir-esque mystery-dramas, the best of which was Brick.
Only one movie was a straight-up comedy (The Big Lebowski), despite what Netflix's tags read. Beautiful Creatures and The Assassination of a High School President were fairly comedic, as well, though not to the same level.
