Movies are a unique opportunity to escape reality, even if only for a couple of hours. If you're looking to get off the couch in isolation (i.e., into your mind), let Netflix's original movies relax you. You can rewatch a movie you didn't have time to watch all the way through, or enjoy it for a second (or third, or fourth) time.
