"Roma" (2018) — A Netflix Original

Netflix description: "Director Alfonso Cuarón delivers a vivid, emotional portrait of domestic life and social hierarchy set against Mexico's political turmoil of the 1970s."

Critic score: 97%

Audience score: 93%

This semi-autobiographical film is Cuarón's most personal film to date, and one of his best. It's best to experience this movie in theaters, but you can watch it from you home now. 

"The Pixar Story" (2007)

Netflix description: "Go behind the scenes at Pixar Animation Studios with this Emmy-nominated documentary tracing the creation and history of the groundbreaking company."

Critic score: 86%

Audience score: 92%

This thoughtful documentary tells the story behind the artist, animators, and storytellers behind the innovative and iconic stories of Pixar. You'll learn a lot but want more, since a lot has happened and developed since the doc came out. 

"National Treasure" (2004)

Netflix description:"Modern treasure hunters search for a chest of riches rumored to have been stashed away by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin."

Critic score: 44%

Audience score: 76%

The plot and frankly the entire premise of this movie make no sense. But Nicholas Cage is at his best in movies that make no sense, so this is a fun adventure movie that you won't regret watching. Also noteworthy: Sean Bean is in this movie, and he doesn't die.
