    Lightbulb Your Netflix Original Film recommendations

    I could be blind and there may already be a post on this but I couldn't find one. Just thought this could be a place for some recommendations of Netflix Original films i.e. made by Netflix. Especially as they do a bad job of advertising their own content. I would never have known about these films had a friend not introduced them to me. Last time I looked at Netflix a few years there was nothing worthwhile, now I've got about a 6 month playlist that keeps growing.
    I'll kick start a few that I've seen recently.


    ARQ - Similar idea to Source Code about 10 years ago, recommended if you like the DejaVu genre.

    Triple Frontier - In a similar vane to Three Kings, a good thrill ride lacking the dark humour from Three Kings but very good entertainment nonetheless.

    iBoy - I'm not a fan of modern English based films, it's often like watching an extended episode of Eastenders to me, but this one is actually pretty good. Recommended for the generation that grew up with Kidulthood/Adulthood.

    Black Mirror - Bandersnatch
    If you like the Black Mirror TV series this will be right up your ally. Note this is an interactive film.
    I really enjoyed it, and the interaction was simple. To get the most out of this you will want to devote a bit of time to it, I wouldn't recommend watching this if you are looking to just chill out. It's worth trying to find different parts of the movie and watching with like minded people, me and few friends took turns on each question so that it would not be one persons decisions. Turned out we managed to go through a rare set of choices but only after did we think to write down our path.

    What Happened to Monday
    Excellent entertainment, well written and acted film. Stars the actor from the Swedish version of A Girl with a Dragon Tattoo.

    The Siege of Jadotville I do like a good war film. And i really enjoyed this. Story of Irish troops as part of a UN peacekeeping force that come underfire.

    Special Correspondents
    Ricky Gervais comedy about a reporter and his technician, who are supposed to go to South America to cover a civil war, but loose thier passports and end up covering the war from above a resturant over the road from the radio station they work for.

    The Highwaymen - I'm hearing good things about this. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson play two Texas Ranger tasked with bringing down Bonnie & Clyde.

    The Ballad of Buster Scruggs - A collection of short Western stories by The Coen Brothers.

    and of course...

    Roma- Alfonso CuarĂ³n's Oscar winner. A portrait of a domestic worker's journey set against the domestic and political turmoil of 1970s Mexico.

    The Dirt - biopic on the Motley Crue
    Didn't expect to like this but found it quite enjoyable. I watched it with little knowledge and expectations having not read any reviews so I won't spoil anything..
