8 Movies You Have To Watch On Netflix
theodysseyonline

What in the world did we all do before Netflix? Oh, right... Blockbuster. More often than not, we find ourselves using our entire evening on Netflix (oops), and a lot of time is used up just by scrolling around looking for something to watch. Fear not, I did the scrolling-around for you and gathered together what I feel are the top eight movies you must watch on Netflix right now.. before they're gone!


1. Legally Blonde

Okay, I know it may seem like just another chick-flick, but give it a shot- it's actually a hilarious movie. Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) plays the character of a typical sorority girl who is a lot smarter than she seems. To prove her intelligence, she takes her LSATS and gets accepted into Harvard Law. This movie is all about breaking barriers and stereotypes!

2. The Kids Are Alright

Ahh, the feels. The Kids Are Alright is a relatable yet entertaining take on family, growing up, and witnessing children grow up. The children meet the sperm donor who allowed their parents to have them and later develop a relationship with him. It's beautiful, funny, pleasant, and.. emotional.

3. The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

Tissues. Lots of tissues. Bruno, the son of a WWII Nazi, forms an unexpected friendship with a Jewish prisoner the same age as him in his father's concentration camp. It's twisted and if you need a good cry, you will absolutely get it.


4. The Interview

Dave (James Franco) is the host of a talk show and his producer, Aaron (Seth Rogen), get an interview with the ever-so-powerful and mysterious Kim Jong-Un, the dictator of North Korea. he CIA wants the two to attempt to murder him, although they're pretty much the least-qualified men to do so. Ever.

5. Life Partners

All of the things you loved about Bridesmaids, you'll find in Life Partners; although that isn't what they were going for at all. BLAIR WALDORF IS IN IT. That is all- enough for me to want to watch.

6. Jack Ass Presents: Bad Grandpa

Knoxville's infamous combination of fearless and lack of morals makes this movie. I typically don't like his movies, but this was just so stupid I had to laugh. If you're a kid at heart, you'll probably love this movie and it's immaturity.

7. Don Jon

Well, there's definitely a lot happening in Don Jon, but this is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's first movie- give it a shot. It's awkward and clunky and powerful and I just loved it.

8. Silver Linings Playbook

Filmed in the best city ever, Philadelphia, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper make the perfect duo as usual and make their romance an intense one through their common traits: mental instability, stubbornness, and definitely a little bit of anger issues.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
