Cult films:
It's not just the original productions that arrive. Some cinematic nuggets are coming soon on Netflix to the delight of fans.
April 1
You can find Ray, the extraordinary biopic on Ray Charles carried by a Jamie Foxx at the top. To this will be added the testosteroneous Jason Bourne Trilogy but also and especially Back to the Future II, probably the most cult episode of the saga carried by Robert Zemeckis.
April 15th
Beware! It is Monty Python who arrive at the streaming giant in April 2018. Highly anticipated since their announcement, the films of the group of comedians are likely to be watched a lot. You can find the cult Holy Grail, but also their television series Flying Circus. Enough to fill a few hours of boredom with a deliciously absurd humor.
That's still enough to spend a few afternoons "Netflix & Chill". And who knows? Perhaps we will find some nuggets among the original creations. Business to follow. In the meantime, check out our review of the latest Netflix phenomenon: Annihilation.
