Notable Movies Coming to Netflix Instant

Dirty Dancing (1987) – Patrick Swayze stars as Johnny Castle, a free-spirited dance instructor who falls in love with Frances (Jennifer Grey) during her summer at the holiday camp. An absolute staple of the 80’s. I mean who can resist this final dance number.

Night of the Living Dead – From the king of all zombie movies, George Romeo’s first of the six in the ‘Living Dead’ series tells the story of 7 people trapped in a rural farmhouse on the night of a zombie attack.

Over the Top – More awesomely bad from the 80’s. Sylvester Stallone stars as Lincoln Hawk, a struggling truck driver fighting for the love of his son by entering a nationalwide arm wrestling competition. There is a true double meaning with this film. Not only is ‘Over the Top’ an unbeatable arm wrestling tactic, but it defines Stallone’s acting throughout as well. His son also competes with Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars: Episode 1 for worst child actor of all-time. Its so bad its good. Just take a look.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights – One of Mel Brook’s best comedies, Men in Tights spoofs the classic story of Robin Hood.

The Bad News Bears (1976) – Legendary actor Walter Mathau plays Morris Buttermaker, drunk, bitter, washed up minor leaguer in charge of coaching a bunch of misfit preteens in an extremely competitive California baseball league in this comedy.

The Blair Witch Project – This horror thriller retells the story of 3 documentary filmmakers who disappeared while hiking in the Black Hills while searching for the local legend ‘Blair Witch’. Filmed entirely from a single handheld camera, the movie is supposedly the footage police recovered a year after their disappearance.

The Silence of the Lambs – Jodie Foster plays Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee, who seeks advice from serial killer mastermind Hannibal Lecter in order to track down another, known as ‘Buffalo Bill’. Winner of 1991 for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Amistad – Steven Spielberg directs this award-winning drama starring Morgan Freeman, Matthew McConaughy and Anthony Hopkins. Amistad tells the story of the mutiny that took place on the slave ship Le Amistad and the international legal battle that followed.

Coneheads -What started as a Saturday Night Live skit, Coneheads features SNL veteran Dan Akyroyd and Jane Curtain as an alien family come to Earth to observe human life.
