Are you tired of watching the same old movies over and over and over on cable? Netflix can definitely help you out with their original content. Their original movies have really hooked me in. I have seen several, but there are three films that really stuck with me. They are what I recommend to all my friends to watch because I honestly think they are worth everyone seeing at least once in their lives.
1. Dumplin’
Alexandros Sfakianakis
As a bigger girl myself, I really connected with this movie. It was empowering to see the main role of a girl who wasn't perfect and perceived as "beautiful" by everyone because I can relate more to that type of character. I feel that Danielle Macdonald did an amazing job in her role and is an inspiration to all young girls who aren't skinny little toothpicks. Unlike the other two movies, I didn't watch the film until four months after it was released. I wasn't fully aware of the storyline, but my friend who has similar taste in movies told me it was a must-watch film.
2. To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before

When I heard they were making this movie, I was super excited. I had wanted to read the books it was based off of, but I never got around to it. One thing I really liked about this movie was that it was about a Korean family. I don't feel that there are enough movies that have stars of color. Another thing I enjoyed about the movie is that it is a romance movie. I've always been a sucker for movies about young love, and this movie certainly delivered. Also, I may have an itty-bitty crush on Noah Centineo.
3. Sierra Burgess Is A Loser

Sierra Burgess is a Loser is yet another example of movie whose main female role isn't a petite model-worthy actress. Shannon Purser does an excellent job in her character, and I have come to be a fan of her singing voice. The friendships between the characters in this film were so compelling that the audience would think the actors were best friends in real life. This movie is also another romantic film, so I was definitely waiting for it to come out. Noah Centineo is the main male role in this movie, and to say that wasn't a motivating factor for me to watch it would be a big fat lie.
If you like a good romantic film, all three of these movies can fulfill that desire. What these films can also do is teach you the importance of life, friends, family, and yourself. If you have a Netflix account, hop on over there right now and watch these films. If you don't have one, become a leech on one of your friend's accounts because these movies are that good!
