Are There Any Films Worth Watching On Netflix?

[Bunthorne]

Are there any films worth watching on Netflix? Not TV or trash. Serious films.

Go here to see what The Telegraph recommends:

(Click 'See All' to get a set of thumbnails. Hover your mouse over the thumbnails to see the titles of the films. Click through for details).

For the best of 'serious' films though, consider the streaming service offered by the British Film Institute:

The Resident looked good. I had to turn it off though as I'm a wuss.

Chris, I’d no idea that BFI website existed. Just watched a film about suburban Bradford (nearest big town to where I grew up) from 1961, the year before I was born. Thanks!

The foreigner. Very good film, well acted.

Zac:
Local film archives can be worth viewing too. Here's what's available online from the Yorkshire Film Archive, using the keyword 'Bradford':
https://tinyurl.com/ycxw8h7r
(That's the first of three pages of results).

To search for other stuff from that archive (which shares its website with the North East Film Archive) start here:
http://www.yorkshirefilmarchive.com/how-search-yfa-online-catalogue
Ensure that 'Has Video' is set to 'Yes', enter a keyword in 'Description' and see what you can find. (The keyword doesn't have to be a place. For example, you can enter 'school', and then use the 'Education' filter, to see what school life was like in the past).

There are similar film archives for many other areas of the country.

Wow. Amazing. Thanks again Chris.

Quatermass and the Pit is there, I have seen it two or three times and it scared me very much. Last time I was was watching it from the sofa cuddling my big snarly dog for protection.
