Help me do justice to our netflix account - need movie suggestions

Post by an_asker »

I don't watch too many movies - usually, all I watch are library DVDs (so I am mostly out of luck on new releases). Now that family has got Netflix for the summer, I need suggestions on what to watch. Please suggest movies from the last five years that are similar to the following genre(s):

- James Bond
- Mission Impossible
- Bourne Identity

I know there is another movie thread ongoing, but I started my own thread to focus on my favourite genre.

Thanks!!

I highly recommend "The Spy" starring Sasha Baron Cohen on Netflix. Based on true story and really well done. (Disclaimer: Not a full length movie but in several episodes.)

Thanks for the replies. I have hit the road running with telemark's excellent suggestion - I am a Netflix newbie :oops:

My DW pointed out that the older non- Netflix movies are better. Namely those not produced by Netflix. I’ve tried this one and it’s a winner. YMMV.

You might like Polar

I would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.
