Moon
After the release of platform original Mute last month, it seems like Netflix wants to get closer to Duncan Jones, so it’s only right that they make his gorgeous film Moon available for our streaming pleasure. Academy Award-nominee Sam Rockwell stars as astronaut Sam Bell, who has spent nearly 3 years harvesting clean fuel to send back to Earth. With just a few weeks left of his contract, something goes terribly wrong. A stunning exploration of the nature of loneliness and the expansiveness of the universe, Moon is a must-see.
Up in the Air
George Clooney stars in this unique dramedy as Ryan Bingham, a man who largely lives out of his suitcase as he travels around the country for work. When he encounters a new love interest (Vera Farmiga) and an eager new hire (Anna Kendrick), however, he’s forced to reexamine his way of life. Pitch Perfect‘s Kendrick saw her career breakthrough in this flick from Jason Reitman, and watching her hold her own opposite Clooney is a joy.

The Square (2017)
Just in time for the Oscars, you can stream this bananas flick nominated for Best Foreign Film. This wild satirical drama sees disaster strike when a respected Stockholm museum’s chief art curator attempts to set up a controversial new exhibit – and his PR agency sets up an unexpected campaign to draw visitors. The overblown response soon sends the curator into an existential crisis, and the results make for a truly compelling watch. This isn’t for everyone, but it’s certainly worth a try.
Chicago (2002)
This seductive, snazzy musical set in 1920s Chicago garnered an Oscar for Best Picture, among 5 other awards, and features an all-star cast who step up to the plate to sing and dance their hearts out. Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones star as murderesses incarcerated at Cook County Jail, where they await their fates (and hopefully avoid them) with the help of hot-shot lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere). Don’t waste time – let this gorgeous movie musical razzle dazzle you.
Hard Sun: Season 1 *Hulu Original
This mind-bending pre-apocalyptic crime drama brings together an unsuspecting duo played by Agyness Deyn and Jim Sturgess who must learn to work with one another despite an increasing amount of distrust between the two.

Hello I Must Be Going (2012)
After Amy (Melanie Lynskey) gets divorced, she returns home to live with her parents in rural Connecticut.

Regarding Henry (1991)
Before J.J. Abrams was helming Star Wars and Star Trek movies and dominating television, he wrote a little flick called Regarding Henry, which found its way into the hands of legendary director Mike Nichols. Starring Harrison Ford and Annette Bening, this romantic drama follows a lawyer named Henry who survives a shooting and discovers that he cannot remember anything as he recovers. As he regains his mobility and speech in a life that now feels alien to him, he begins to undergo long overdue, positive changes in his personality, and starts to value what really matters in life.

Sneaky Pete: Season 2 *Prime Original
If you thought Season 1 featured peak sneakiness, just wait until you see what happens a second time around.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
You’ve almost certainly seen this movie before, but there’s never a bad time to rewatch The Silence of the Lambs. Directed by Jonathan Demme, this Academy Award-winning thriller stars Anthony Hopkins as serial killer/cannibal Hannibal Lecter alongside Jodie Foster as FBI cadet Clarice Starling. Starling is enlisted by the FBI to use Hannibal’s nuanced, disturbing mind to apprehend a serial killer currently on a spree, and the rest is history. Disciplined, eerie, and brilliant, this tense flick is close to perfect.
[Stream The Silence of the Lambs on HBO]
The Beguiled (2017)
Sophia Coppola’s remake of the 1971 classic teams up some of our best working actresses – Nicole Kidman and Kirsten Dunst, to name two – for this Civil War drama, and things get wild.

Silicon Valley: Season 5 Premiere
The fifth season of HBO’s tech comedy picks up sans T.J. Miller and sees Pied Piper reach a whole new level of success as things finally pick up for the gang. With success comes a whole new set of obstacles, however, and you can’t stay on top forever. Whether or not Richard (Thomas Middleditch) will keep his cool and maintain the company’s momentum remains to be seen, but we have a feeling this many good things can’t last.
[Stream Silicon Valley: Season 5 on HBO starting March 25]
Girls Trip (2017)
It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! The uproarious comedy that turned our beloved Tiffany Haddish into a true star is finally coming to streaming, and we couldn’t be more excited. The road movie sees four lifelong friends get together and travel to New Orleans for the annual Essence Festival, and with all this drinking and dancing, the ladies get into way more shenanigans than they ever could have imagined.
