Top ten Netflix deep cuts!

Top ten Netflix instant viewing "deep cuts" or movies you may not think of on your own!

1. Apparitions
This is a great British series about an exorcist. I really enjoyed this series as it took the Catholic Faith seriously. There were plot twists I didn't expect. Be advised this is for mature audiences! R-18+

2. You are gonna miss me when I am gone.
If you don't know who Rocki Ericson is, or have never heard of the 13th floor elevators, you are probably in good company. This is a very influential Texas Band that went a little too far, a little too fast. There are so many surprises in this documentary it almost seemed like a no budget mockumentary with a great script. But no it actually happened. These guys were influential in ZZTop, to the extent that Billy Gibbons wrote the song "99th floor elevator" as an homage when he was in the "Moving Sidewalks".. Watch and wonder!

3. Torchwood
British show again.. If you like the xfiles and/or Dr. Who; Just watch it.

4.Prey
A no budget movie that is just amazing.. Scifi that relies on story instead of effects! What a concept.

5. House of the Rising Sun.
Good film! If you read Chuck Hustmyre's magnum opus, (44 magnum opus) the first thing you will notice is that New Orleans looks a lot like Michigan. There are numerous differences to the moe that hurt the story. I don't understand the need of directors to fix stuff that ain't broke!

6. Day of Wrath
This film will keep you guessing till the very end.. Christopher Lamber turns in his best performance since "Highlander". But please understand this is a murder mystery.

7. The Color of Magic
Ok you can let the kids back in the room now! This is a great fantasy based on the rim world novels. Very fun if you are a fan of dry humor.

8. The Hogfather
We are back in rim world but now it is Christmas. But since we are on rim world it is called "Hogswatch". Someone is trying to kill the Hogfather and it's Death to the reascue?

9. The Stones in Exile
Once upon a time there was a band called the Rolling Stones and they made too much money and the government wanted to take it all so they left and went to France, then France wanted to take their money so they went to the last tax safe haven... The United States?!

10. The Crossroads Festival
Eric Clapton allows us to see for ourselves the evolution of slide guitar as performed by all of the living masters! Watch it! All of it!!
