New Netflix Programmes/Films

I feel as though there have been a few new Netflix programmes and films added recently so I thought I would go through them and make a list of the ones I fancy watching in the near future. Only a quick one today as I'm in the middle of a mountain of University work.. you're probably wondering 'well what the hell are you doing making a blog post?' and you're right, I have absolutely no idea.. other than I'm procrastinating. Send help!

• Santa Clarita Diet - "Mom craves human flesh. Dad wants a normal life. A good marriage is all about the compromise". 
• One Day At A Time - "Two kids, a single Mom and a feisty Grandma. Three generations under one rood. Their home: hectic. Their hearts: huge".
• Schitt's Creek - "When a wealthy family is forced to find out how to other half live, the adjustment isn't exactly a smooth one".
• Friends With Better Lives - "Single, engaged, married with kids.. they all think they have it the worst. They're all correct".

Top Netflix Picks No.2

For someone that is a Netflix-aholic, it would be assumed I watch more films than TV shows.. wrong! I have no idea why but I find it so hard to be fully invested in a film but there are a few I have seen in the past that have popped up on Netflix, or I have discovered recently which I want to share. If you want to see my blog post about my favourite Netflix TV shows then click here, otherwise let's begin!

• What To Expect When You're Expecting - Comedy film staring a number of stars: Cameron Diaz, Matthew Morrison, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Chris Rock.. yeah, it's amazing.
• Coin Heist - Netflix Original adventure film staring Sasha Pieterse (Alison from Pretty Little Liars)
• The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 -  Obviously if you haven't seen the previous ones then go and watch them, but this is seriously the best one out of all of them and highly recommend this series.
• Ella Enchanted - A comedy for all of the family staring Anne Hathaway. 
• Annie - Nope, not the 1982 version. This is the remake of Annie in the 21st century. If you love classics and absolutely detest remakes then you need to stay away from this film, it is very different. However, the basic storyline is relatively the same but with new songs to tap your foot along to. Staring Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne and Jamie Foxx. Can you even believe Jamie Foxx is this guy though?

 Gets me everytime.

• Dirty Grandpa - This film had me in stitches. If you love a bit of rude humour you will love this. I did not have to force myself one bit to watch this when I found out Zac Efron was in it.. An absolutely hilarious film for both genders.. however not for all ages. 16+ kids! (If you like this, I think you will love Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.. unfortunately, not on Netflix)
• Grease Live - The best live version of a musical, EVER. If you liked Hairspray Live at Christmas, you will adore this even more. Hairspray is hands down my favourite film but Grease Live is like a work of art, sheer genius and the original songs are great. Staring Vanessa Hudgens, Carly Rae Jepson, Joe Jonas and Julianne Hough.
• Never Been Kissed - Classic 90's romcom staring Drew Barrymore. I had no idea this was on Netflix until I started watching Santa Clarita Diet (New Netflix Original staring Drew Barrymore) and I am more than overjoyed it is on Netflix. After this blog post, you know where to find me!
• Gnomeo and Juliet - Yes, my inner child is out but I think this is possibly one of the best cartoon films ever! If you haven't guessed by the title it is basically a remake of Romeo and Juliet involving garden gnomes from rival gardens.. haven't I sold this well? Honestly, if you love cartoons, children's films and wanting to find a new film for all of the family.. this is it!
• Madeline - Oh my God. I just went and logged onto my Facebook to see if I was missing any and yes I certainly was! What a film. Perfect family favourite with a beautiful message of love and support. On a side note, if anyone mentions having chicken for tea, I can't help myself saying 'chicken helene, chicken chicken!'. If you have seen this film, you know, you most certainly know. 
• Chalet Girl - One of the greatest British Comedy films ever. I really need to write a post about the best coming of age teen films, however I digress. Humour, lessons about life and love, following your dreams.. what more could you want?! Staring Felicity Jones and Ed Westwick.
• What Happens in Vegas - A firm favourite about Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher's characters getting married in Vegas when drunk and winning a huge amount of money. They are told by a judge in court they cannot get their marriage annulled and have to try and get along, the sneaky buggers try and get each other to basically go rogue.. first time I've explained a plot so far... not very well... oh well! However, it's bloody fab. 
• The Other Woman - One of my favourite films ever. Staring Kate Upton, Leslie Mann and Cameron Diaz (I see a Cameron Diaz pattern here). Watch 3 women team up to make a man's life a living hell after cheating on them all, with each other! A huge recommendation if you or someone you know has just had a shitty breakup. Shows that friendship lasts the test of time.

Other favourites include:

• Zapped - Disney Original staring Zendaya, family film)
• Clueless - Come on, everyone knows Clueless
• Eddie The Eagle - Based on a true story of a young boy's dream to become an Olympian
• Footloose - Another remake I'm sorry, but it is a really good one. Staring Julianne Hough from Dancing With The Stars 
• Drop Dead Fred - One of my boyfriend's all time faves so thought I would include it
• Harvest Moon - I believe it's one of Hallmark Channel's Original Movies, if you're from the UK it's basically the type of film Channel 5 would play over and over again in the day time, however, it's pretty good!
• Bride Wars - Such a good film to watch on a girly night with a take away!

And thats it! I hope you have enjoyed and will watch some of my recommendations. I have 2 more planned Netflix lists coming in the next week or 2 so be sure to check back. I hope you have a lovely weekend (.. spending time, in the house, with your S/O or friends, eating crap.. watching Netflix) 😏😏
