What to watch on Netflix Instant : Edition #2

[amazon_link id=”B0007PALZ2″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]12 Monkeys (Special Edition)[/amazon_link]Yes, yes, I know! Another list of great Netflix Movies to see! Well, stop jumping for joy for a little while and read this :

1. 12 Monkeys (English) : I adore Bruce Willis, sci-fi and time travel scifi, in that order. This film has all three (and it has Brad Pitt :-)). Yes, it released in 1995, and those of you who missed it then should see it now. This is one of my all time sci-fi favorites!

2. Khamosh Pani (Hindi) : A story of the India-Pakistan partition and the horrendous ethnic riots that followed, told from a woman’s point of view. Full review.

3. Paan Singh Tomar (Hindi) : Based on a true life story this is an engaging look at the life of an athlete-turned-dacoit. Here’s the complete review.

4. Amreeka (Arabic) : A divorced Palestinian woman Muna and her son move to America to start their lives, away from fear, the threat of terror and political instability. A moving immigrant story, this is a good watch.

5. The Women on the 6th floor (French) : When I visited Paris, I saw these Parisian homes, large apartments I presumed by the number of people entering the main gates, which when shut, you couldn’t see through. This film is of families within such a home, where Jean-Louis Joubert, an affluent, stolid stock-broker lives with wife and children. By chance Joubert becomes friendly with the Spanish maids on the 6th floor which portends major changes in his life. Quite a lovely, whimsical watch.
