Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010): A guy filming street artists becomes one, and the famous street artist he was shooting takes over the film.

Bonnie and Clyde (1967): Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty rob banks in this crime classic that humanizes the legendary duo. Viewers give it 3.7 stars on Netflix Streaming.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): Watch Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece on the biggest screen possible as apes discover weapons and astronauts fail to understand HAL. It's another 3.7 star movie.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999): Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman play a doctor and his wife in this erotic thriller that's Kubrick's final film. It gets 3.0 stars.

A Clockwork Orange (1971): One more Kubrick masterpiece with 3.7 stars and a scary commentary on mindless violence.

Dangerous Liaisons (1988): Glenn Close and John Malkovich are truly wicked in this adaptation of the eighteenth century French novel. This 3.7 star new Netflix film won 3 Academy Awards.

Dr. Zhivago (1965): The Bolshevik Revolution gets overshadowed by a love triangle in this melodramatic but entertaining classic with Omar Sharif and Julie Christie. It gets 5 Oscars and 4 stars on Netflix Streaming.

Osama (2003): A 12 year-old girl dresses up like a boy in a desperate attempt to support her family. Remember how Afghanistan has suffered from years of war and the Taliban with this 3.5 star film.

A Wedding (1978): This lesser-known Robert Altman gem includes one of Carol Burnett's finest performances as mother-of-the-bride in a society wedding gone bad with 3 stars.

The Bostonians (1984): Vanessa Redgrave in a Merchant Ivory production of a Henry James novel deserves better than 2.8 stars.
