It's Memorial Day weekend, and aside from paying our respects to those who lost their lives in the service of our country, we could probably fit in a couple of movies. These aren't thematic for the holiday and most aren't on Netflix streaming; forgive me.
When you need to get creatively inspired by real people:
Abstract: The Art of Design - particularly the architecture and graphic design episodes [Netflix streaming]
Lambert & Stamp
Beauty is Embarrassing
When you want to get in a better mood and watch something British:
Sing Street [Netflix streaming]
Love & Friendship
The Trip [Netflix streaming]
The IT Crowd Manual [Netflix streaming]
Sexy Beast
Withnail & I
giphy.com
When you want to get in a better mood (and don't even care if the thing you watch is British or not!):
The Station Agent
Soul Kitchen
What We Do in the Shadows
Waitress
Good Bye Lenin!
Chunking Express
The Dinner Game
Galaxy Quest
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
World of Tomorrow [Netflix streaming]
When you're in a knock-hats-off kind of mood and are fine with staying that way:
With a Friend Like Harry
Blow Out
The Guest
One Hour Photo
Roger Dodger
Nightcrawler[Netflix streaming]
Spotlight [Netflix streaming]
The Invitation [Netflix streaming]
The Big Short [Netflix streaming]
When you want to watch something about crime but also want to be in a pretty good mood:
The Matador
You Kill Me
Sexy Beast
Lucky Number Slevin [Netflix streaming]
I hope you find something you like, British or not, and that you find some to add to your list for another weekend! 🎥
