There's nothing we all love more than a good Netflix binge session. I love all the movie and tv show choices I have, but sometimes it's hard to find something I really like. So I often look for gems other people found hidden on Netflix, and I thought I would share some of my hidden treasures for people looking for something new to watch in almost every category. Sit back, grab your popcorn, and get to watching!
1. White Bird In A Blizzard (2014)
Thriller Category: Talk about suspense! And not to mention to crazy and built up plot twist that will leave your head spinning for weeks. This movie stars the one and only Shailene Woodley, who plays a teenager who's disturbed mother disappears. Find out how the disappearance haunts the rest of the film.
2. A Girl Like Her (2015)
Drama Category: This movie left me in tears. At first, I honestly thought this was a real documentary, I mean it's that good. This follows the life of Lexi and her best friend Jimmy as they secretly record the popular girl who ruthlessly bullies Lexi. Lexi attempts suicide and as she's left in a coma, Jimmy tries to find her justice.
3. Chicago (2002)
Musical Category: It's time to head back to the roaring 20s, kid. You won't be able to resist the murderous plots or burlesque feel, let alone the catchy songs that come along with it. You'll find yourself rooting for Roxie Hart to escape her murder charge. Watch this, and thank me later.
4. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)

Warning: This film WILL change your life.

The main character Katie, played by Julianne Hough, escapes her dark past and tries to make a new life for herself. She learns to love and trust again, but not for long until her demons come back and threaten her.
