You all should see

1) The Bad and the Beautiful Kirk Douglas

Here is the synopsis from Netflix: “Charismatic but ruthless film producer Jonathan Shields (Kirk Douglas) needs a blockbuster after producing three consecutive flops and falling out of favor with the studio. To help him make a comeback, he appeals to three Hollywood heavyweights — a director (Barry Sullivan), an actress (Lana Turner) and a writer (Dick Powell) — who owe their success to Shields. Unfortunately, they all hate his guts and have vowed never to work for him again.”

This movie is awesome. It was a stark reminder to be careful out here. It’s easy to get used. But the film says even though you get used, sometimes it works out for the best. And we all know that “all things work together for good…”

2) The Orphanage -

The Orphanage

Netflix: “Fueled by fond memories from her childhood, Laura (Belén Rueda) persuades her husband (Fernando Cayo) to help her revamp a seaside orphanage into a facility for disabled children. But soon after the couple moves in, their son, Simón (Roger Príncep), begins exhibiting disturbing behavior. As Laura tries to understand Simón’s increasingly malevolent actions, she becomes drawn into the house’s terrifying secrets in this unnerving chiller.”

This movie was amazing. One of the best scary movies I’ve ever seen. Check it out. This director knows how to scare you without gore and cheap tricks – like The Sixth Sense. And it’s not just a scary movie – its also sweet like The Sixth Sense. SEE IT.
