Top 5 Tuesday: Netflix Picks

Hello Everybody! Its been a little while since the last Top 5 Tuesday! I'll try my best to keep up with my Top 5 picks [of any topic] each week. My brother recently got us Netflix and oh boy, my life has changed! When I sew, I like to have movies in the background to keep me company. Before Netflix, I would rotate the same 4 dvds. If you're curious to know, they are Mean Girls, Ratatouille, The Terminal, and Angelic Layer the complete collection. I think I have seen all twenty-six episodes of Angelic Layer repeated about 5-6 times and the other movies... um... probably close to 20 times! Why do I do this? Well... aside from being my favorites, repeating movies while I work triggers my brain and puts me into an unstoppable working zone! I feel like my body goes into automatic pilot and I'm able to sew faster and faster! Its the science of repetition. SCIENCE!

Although I adore my movies, it sure is refreshing to see something new when sewing duties aren't so demanding. These are what I picked out!




1. Dead Like Me: If you're into Halloween and the Day of the Dead, you can relive the spooky days with this amazing comedy drama! Its a re-imagining of the Grim Reaper folklore. What if Grim Reapers lived and walked among us and had to get regular jobs? Think about it as Office Space meets Zombieland. What I love about this series is all of the colorful characters and how each of them has a different perspective when it comes to dealing with death. I know it sounds grim (haha! no pun intended), but as a whole this short-lived series is thought-provoking, heartfelt, hilarious and at times, a tear-jerker!

Dead Like Me has one of the coolest opening themes I've ever seen! And hey! I spotted a French Bulldog <3


If you're looking for something off-beat and original, look no further! Also, the music in this series is really good!
