We could go on and on for days about what Netflix movies you should binge on, but there is a select few we feel compelled to tell you about, if you haven’t seen them already. While shows like House of Cards and Bloodline are on everyone’s current binge bucket list, these evergreen movies, documentaries and stand-up specials are as essential as a healthy breakfast. Don’t be one of those assholes who skips breakfast; it’s the best meal of the day.
And if you’re one of those people who doesn’t enjoy waffles at night, then you need these Netflix movies now more than ever, starting with the best movie of all time: Turner & Hooch (close your eyes at the end, though). There’s plenty more after that, including everything you want to know about DMT, a good Adam Sandler movie, the most underrated comedies to pass through and the best rock documentary and stand-up special available.
If you haven’t seen these streaming Netflix movies by the next time we see you, lord have mercy on your weak soul. Should you refuse altogether, may the tweets of a thousand Trumps rattle your eyeballs.

Netflix You Should've Watched by Now

"DMT: Spirit Molecule"

For those of us wondering why everyone wants DMT, Joe Rogan and Netflix's DMT: Spirit Molecule might have some answers. It's as educational as it is essential.
-
"Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive"
You thought he was dead to the comedy world, especially after almost dying in a recent accident, but Tracy has seen the light and now he's back to share one of the most timeless stand-up specials we've seen in years.
-
"Keith Richards: Under the Influence"

If you weren't aware of just how cool Keith Richards is or never had sympathy for the devil, tune in for the first five minutes to get pulled into his mystic world, then roll through the rest of this brilliant music documentary.
-
"Superbad"
It's been 10 years since Superbad and nothing but super bad comedies since. If it's been that long since you've seen Jonah Hill's triumphant debut, we're going to have to recommend you fix that.
-
"Turner & Hooch"
We love dogs, and we're suckers for Tom Hanks in '80s comedies. So what better way to celebrate than with a quick look at the best movie to incorporate it all? Just conveniently run to the bathroom during the sad part at the end and come back in time for the credits to see puppies. Puppies!
-
"Begin Again"
Mark Ruffalo makes a good Hulk, but he makes an even better costar alongside the always beautiful Keira Knightley. The scenes where he envisions the instruments accompanying her acoustic performance as they play without humans attached to them is kind of amazing. Innovative, yet simple story, very inspiring to the young artist.
-
"Southpaw"
Here's your motivation to get jacked this summer. For those of us who had our mind made up about Jake Gyllenhaal after Brokeback Mountain, take a look at a very different guy in Southpaw, one of the best fight movies since The Warrior. You won't think less of Jake then.
-
"Sandy Wexler"
Adam Sandler can act! After all the crap we've seen and given Adam Sandler over the past 20 years, we've got to say that watching him portray the great Sandy Wexler was actually fairly entertaining. It was the first time in awhile we didn't feel like we were watching another Adam Sandler movie.
-
"God Bless America"
If you're in dire straights with our political management, this might bring you some cathartic relief. Anything with a Murray brother and the cute but not-so-cuddly Tara Lynne Barr is welcome. She's 97 percent of why we tune into Hulu's Casual.
