Just got onto this streaming Netflix joint.. Maybe we can use this as a running post with flicks you may have seen that are recommended.

I saw these movies over the weekend (Stayed in Sick) and loved them.

The Orphanage:

Fueled by fond memories from her childhood, Laura (Belén Rueda) persuades her husband (Fernando Cayo) to help her revamp a seaside orphanage into a facility for disabled children. But soon after the couple moves in, their son, Simón (Roger Príncep), begins exhibiting disturbing behavior. As Laura tries to understand Simón's increasingly malevolent actions, she becomes drawn into the house's terrifying secrets in this unnerving chiller.

Kidulthood:

In this gritty, powerful drama about lost innocence, classes are suspended when a schoolgirl who's been bullied one too many times hangs herself, allowing a clique of tough-as-nails teenagers have free reign of the inner city streets. And within the unforgiving confines of the concrete jungle that these kids call home, sex, drugs and violence are just business as usual in the daily struggle to survive.

A Very British Gangster:

In this 2007 Sundance Film Festival entry, director Donal MacIntyre paints an intimate cinematic portrait of Dominic Noonan, the head of one of Britain's largest organized crime families. Alongside brother Desmond, Noonan is alleged to have committed more than 25 murders in his two-decade reign of terror. Filmmakers reveal the notorious gangster's inner circle and influence in a town stricken with abject poverty and violence.

Gangster No. 1:

This story follows the violent rise and fall of the title character, an unnamed East End London thug (played by Paul Bettany and, at a later age, Malcolm McDowell) who gets hired by high-profile gangster Freddie Mays (David Thewlis). The eager young gun -- an irredeemable, inhumane psychopath obsessed with power -- eventually replaces his boss as top gangster by way of lies, manipulation and murder

The Counterfeiters:

Facing an ethical quandary, Jewish master forger Salomon Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) must choose between abetting the Nazis and saving his own skin in this taut, Oscar-winning drama based on actual events during World War II. Assembled at a death camp, a cadre of printers, artists and chiselers is tasked with counterfeiting currencies to weaken Allied economies. But will Sorowitsch's conscience begin to gnaw at him as the war draws to a close?
