Top 5 Films/TV Shows for Netflix!

So, after Christmas and New Year its getting towards the time when you want to be back at Uni, You're bored and would much rather have something to focus on. So, Ive decided to watch as many films and documentaries as I can, topping up my knowledge (which really is appalling for a media student)!

A few months ago I subscribed to Netflix. This was one of the best things Ive done in a long while! You don't realise how much content there is at your fingertips, and I'd really recommend it to any Film or TV lover! So I thought I'd give my top 5 favourite must watch Films/TV Shows on Netflix! Here Goes...


5. Educating Rita

I watched this for the first time with my housemate about a month ago and I loved it. An original, easy going, funny film about a working class girl in an upper class situation. both Julie Walters and Michael Cane were fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it

4. Being Elmo

This is a documentary about Kevin Clash, the puppeteer and voice of Sesame Street's Elmo. It highlights his struggles to get to where he is today, his relationship which such influential people such as Jim Henson, and how people now such a famous voice but do not know the face that it belongs to. This is a real heart-warming documentary which I enjoyed and is very well put together.

3. The Iron Lady

This film was only released in 2012 and did not do all that well in the box office, however, I thought this film was great. I loved the concept of the 'hallucinations' M Thatcher has and I think Meryl Streep plays an excellent portrayal in this really well made film!

2. Jekyll

I only discovered this series through Netflix, and Im only sorry I didn't watch it sooner. This is a great 6-part series about a man who is experiencing the same characteristics as 'Jekyll & Hyde' although quite complicated, the film is very well shot and the episodes are very  intense. James Nesbitt plays a great role and does his character justice.

1.  Appropriate Adult

This is my all time favourite TV drama. I watched this when it was aired on ITV in 2011 and really liked it. The drama focuses on the infamous Fred and Rose West and Fred's appropriate adult. This is a real hard-hitting drama that really gives an insight into the minds of these prolific killers and portrays them so well. The parts of Fred and Rose are played so well and Dominic West's part is uncanny. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves a crime drama/thriller!
