I have fairly eclectic,erratic and sporadic movie tastes so it is hard for me to find something I want to watch.I watch based on my interest in the plot rather than actors,genre or popularity.I am including a short plot description, so even if you haven’t heard of it, the plot should give you something.The below are my **** and ***** movies from netflix.
