New To Netflix

Netflix may be an awesome streaming service but they aren't the best when it comes to communicating what is leaving and coming to their instant streaming.

So just in case you've been looking for a reason to dive back into Netflix, here are a few titles I think you should look into.

The J.J. Abrams/Spielberg movie got a lot of attention in 2011 for balancing the Abrams creepy mystery feeling with Spielberg's childhood wonder feeling. It's a must watch if you're a fan of those 80s films Spielberg made that harkens back to a simpler time when all aliens wanted were Reeses Pieces.

Not long ago ESPN decided to produce 30 documentaries from 30 different filmmakers all with their own style and story. Covering a wide variety of topics within sports these short films don't always hit the mark but if you have any interest in sports (and even if you don't) you can be witness to some heartbreaking and soul reenforcing stories.

It has been hard trying to scrounge up the scratch to see every single super hero movie as they came out. Even worse is if you chose say Green Lantern over Captain America last year. Not exactly a wise choice in retrospect. But if you'd like to round out your superhero movie experience you can now watch the Captain, as well as Thor, to fill your nerd heart.

If you have any new titles you've noticed go up on Netflix instant recently that you'd like to recommend feel free to add on! I'll try to do more of these whenever I notice some big titles going up on the service.

Awesome, thanks for posting this! I missed Super 8 last year, so I'm glad to have a chance to watch it!

30 for 30 is a great series. The one on Tom Brady almost made me like him. Almost.

@ThePickle: I haven't seen that one. And I haven't seen it on instant. Granted so many went up it could be lost in the shuffle.

This is probably controversial, but I still think Captain America was my favorite Marvel movie before The Avengers.

Actually, that wasn't a 30 for 30. My bad. It's a documentary called "The Brady Six". I got confused because I watched it right after watching Unguarded (which I recommend to fans of stories about people screwing up because of drugs).

Hey cool beans! I knew about the others but I didn't see Super 8 sneak in there and since I missed it in the theatres I suppose this is as good a time as any to catch it.

Looks like it's time to watch Super 8 again.

I had seen Captain America and Thor pop up recently, been meaning to rewatch First Avenger just a really good movie, surprisingly. ESPN 30 for 30 is freaking awesome everyone should watch it. I'm not really a sports fan but will watch the heck out of those.

Netflix seriously needs to do a upcomnig and dropping tab or something.

@Christina: I'm with ya on that, Netflix Canada is equally depressing.

@Christina: @RockinKemosabe: Awww. I can look into adding a section the next time I do one of these for my friends across the pond and to the north.
