Netflix Recommendations
Can anyone recommend any good Netflix movies? We are currently enjoying having a movie night once a week with Pizza. I don't like anything too gory or anything "screamfest".
Comedy or thriller works for me.
Thanks.

From chelle's list we watched The Power of the Dog.
Wow! I didn't know the ref;
Psalms 22:19-22 New King James Version (NKJV)But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen!
Benedict Cumberbatch acts his heart out with, to my ear, a pretty convincing American accent.
Definitely worth watching imo.
