Best Add This to Your Instant Queue

Does anyone know a blog or tumblr or website that recommends movies hidden inside the incredibly difficult to browse streaming video service known as Netflix OnDemand?  Or have any recommendations for movies hidden inside the incredibly difficult to browse streaming video service known as Netflix OnDemand?

While you are considering my questions, let me offer a recommendation of a Netflix gem that was recommended to me by fashion-icon Collin Mapp.

Beavers, 1988


This thing is better than March of the Penguins!  I never knew beavers were so noisy, they make little humming noises all the time.  It sounds like they're trying to talk, no, it sounds like the noise you make to indicate you can't talk because you're brushing your teeth or have a mouth full of food.  Watching the beavers at work and swimming around has been so soothing and educational . . . and it's true what they say, beavers do keep busy.  I can only imagine what it would have been like to have seen this in an IMAX theater during its original release.  Maybe we can start an email campaign to have brought back to theaters?

Another nice thing about Beavers is that it is not long and I have a very hard time staying seated and watching a whole Netflix movie on my own without getting distracted.

P.S. If Netflix has done one thing for the betterment of mankind, it's probably that we can all spell the word "queue" now.  Eleven years ago, in London, I didn't even know what that word was.
