when netflix announced a four movie deal
with adam sandler
audiences had a pretty good idea of what
to expect and true to form
his first outings included the duds the
ridiculous 6 and sandy wechsler
so viewers were shocked to see sandler
in this netflix dramedy by festival
darling noah baumbach
in 2017. that's coming he texted me i
texted him he texted you you texted me
do you think i'm not gonna tell you the
truth i can drive maureen
although it wasn't actually planned as
part of sandler's deal with the
streaming giant
netflix swooped in to grab distribution
rights for what was clearly going to
become an underground hit
sadly this caused some drama at its
cannes film festival premiere
raising questions about streaming movies
competing at festivals
nevertheless the indie surprise got a
four minute standing ovation
you'll have a nurse with you you know i
really need you to stay with me i'm
asking you to do this please
number eight gerald's game stephen king
clearly had a great little renaissance
in 2017
on the big and small screen alike
however the biggest surprise was the
netflix adaptation of a lesser known
king novel
gerald's game gotta say i was um i was
expecting
you know more novelty things like with
velvet or silk or something
an arguably unfilmable story it became
squeamish horror gold
at the hands of brilliant director mike
flanagan the man who got us terrified of
ouija boards and antique mirrors
if you don't wake up you're gonna die in
those handcuffs
and we both know you've been
sleepwalking since you were 12 years old
not now if not now when not now what
the story of a sex game gone wrong which
leaves a man dead and a woman cuffed to
the bed
became an instant hit it's tended to
overshadow another equally great stephen
king adaptation
1922 released just a month later on
netflix
i believe that there's another man
inside every man number seven
the ritual he's a good mom
the best of us
should never have happened at its core
the ritual is a classic campfire story
with echoes of the blair witch project
the thing and the wicker man the good
one that's witchcraft
huh that's what that is that's
witchcraft for all of its familiarity
though
david bruckner's film constantly leaves
us guessing where it's going
the opening scene feels less like
something out of a traditional slasher
flick
and more like a piece of real world
horror that anybody could experience
first
hand
as our four main characters get lost in
the woods the ritual begins to blur the
line between psychological horror and
supernatural horror
that line becomes clearer during the
film's final act which will enthrall
some
and leave others bewildered over what
they just watched either way it's a
climax nobody will soon forget
your pain is great yeah i'm not like you
and i will not live like this number six
hush i finished your book
i finished your book i know you can read
my lips but i am getting better
one thing that netflix does often and
does well are great thrillers
a prime example is hush a tense
experience in claustrophobic terror
the great mike flanagan from gerald's
game also directed this twisted story of
a deaf writer who's chased down by a
masked killer
[Music]
turning the slasher and home invasion
genres on their heads
hush destroys any preconceptions and
delivers an effective white-knuckle ride
living up to the hype and critical
adoration hush has already become a
modern day classic
and will probably remain a horror
masterpiece
welcome home puss
it's okay you're gonna see mommy very
soon
number five i don't feel at home in this
world anymore
sometimes i feel like i'm
like underneath a whirlpool and
like i can't even breathe fed up with
the world
fed up with the same old movies if
you're looking for a unique and bizarre
experience
look no further i don't feel at home in
this world anymore follows a woman who's
having just about the worst day ever
and goes on a revenge mission to find
the bastards that broke into her home
why are you here
my house got robbed this pitch-black
comedy the brainchild of actor makin
blair in his directorial debut
blew the doors off sundance winning the
grand jury prize
guaranteed to be a cult hit for years to
come we promise you'll find nothing like
it on netflix
or anywhere for that matter
[Music]
number four dolomite is my name eddie
murphy's career has seen its ups and
downs but dolomite is my name is most
definitely a high point
[ __ ] ain't that old as famed
blaxploitation actor rudy ray moore
murphy not only delivers his funniest
performance in years
but also reminds audiences that he's a
legitimately great actor
come on brother they waiting on dolomite
movie let's bring dolomite to the screen
murphy becomes more channeling his
unique brand of humor
and outside the box thinking the film
doesn't just belong to murphy
as we get splendid supporting
performances from divine joy randolph
keegan michael key and wesley snipes the
latter of whom is also officially on the
comeback train
they're going too fast no we need the
speed for the puddle splash
dolomite is my name when overlooked at
the academy awards
but as moore showed us entertaining fans
is what matters most
and this biopic is deservingly
accumulating a wider following
every day rudy there's a certain
professional way to go about
distributing a film and we all know that
there's a history
of making some art and the white man
come along and steal all the money
number three okja when the competition
reaches its climax
dr johnny will crown the winner at a
magical animals live telecast
right here in new york city at the time
of its release okja was a bit of an
anomaly
with joon ho bang being the biggest name
to transition from big screen to netflix
its success has arguably led to a shift
in perception as netflix is now working
with the likes of martin scorsese
alfonso cuaron and the coen brothers i
wanna go home
please no it's my property a bizarre
film about a little girl's bond with a
genetically modified super pig
it has an all-star cast and an
environmental message that garnered it
praise from critics and
audiences despite being booed at cannes
when the netflix logo appeared it
received a standing ovation
i want to buy octa or live
number two uncut gems while a24
distributed uncut gems in the us
netflix handled its international
distribution why is it got so many
colors in it man what is this that's the
thing they say you can see the whole
universe in the book
as is the case with eddie murphy we
sometimes forget how amazing adam
sandler can be with the right people
behind the camera
between the myrowitz stories and
especially uncut gems
netflix is shining a spotlight on
sandler's untapped potential
we've seen sandler give dramatic
performances before but howard ratner is
a whole other beast
you spoke to
you know what that does to me the
risk-taking jeweler never
stops he's always gambling always making
promises he can't keep
and always finding new ways to dig his
own grave every time howard somehow digs
himself out he jumps right back in
like sandler's performance the safety
brothers direction creates an
unrelenting sense of urgency leaving
viewers on the edge until the credits
roll yeah
yeah oh my god before we unveil our
number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions de
five bloods
one of spike lee's career defining
achievements
there's enough for everybody
[Music]
there's more to this hilarious rom-com
than the keanu cameo
wow now i know what it feels like to be
completely starstruck
the only stars that matter are the ones
you look at when you dream
kodachrome a road trip drama
distinguished by its strong performances
are you ever happy ben let me tell you
something
happiness is [ __ ] it's the great
myth of the late 20th century
you think picasso was happy i think
hemingway was
hendricks they were miserable shits no
art worth the dam was ever created out
of happiness i can tell you that much
tramps another winner in the
ever-growing netflix rom-com library
so what do you think about what
about my mustache
yeah i don't know maybe look better with
it first they killed my father
angelina jolie's most effective
directorial outing to date

number one the irishman i can drive them
i can't fix them
you're back in business kid martin
scorsese is one of our most influential
filmmakers
but netflix is probably the only company
that would give him the funds and
creative freedom to pursue what might be
his magnum opus
glad to meet you well glad to meet you
too even if it's over the phone
i heard you paint houses yes
yes sir i i do it's as if scorsese's
50-plus years in the business have been
preparing him for the irishman
a triumph of craft and performances this
crime epic chronicles the life of frank
sheeran
played by the legendary robert de niro
joe pesci and al pacino round out an
ensemble for the ages
as sheeran's two closest confidants as
friends become enemies though
sharon's story builds to one of the
tensest segments scorsese has ever put
to film
frank i had to put you into this thing
or you would never let it happen
and i know you wouldn't from beginning
to end the irishman makes you feel like
you've walked a hundred miles in
sharon's shoes
