-"Forks over Knives", a provocative documentary about how a plant based diet can improve your health and why.
-"Untraceable".. some sick dude is torturing people to death live on the internet...
-"Bronson".. a true tale about Britain's most violent prisoner.
I watched this french (subtitled) flick called "7 Days" about this guy who's daughter is kidnapped and worse.... Dad takes things into his own hands... beyond the disturbing images, I found the character portrayals of a few of the characters really drew me in, and had to watch to the end.

Le Doulos...really great flik & it stars one of my favorite old school actors, jean paul belmondo. i highly recommend it!
"French new wave icon Jean-Paul Belmondo stars as Silien, a poker-faced crook who may or may not have squealed on newly sprung gangster Maurice Faugel (Serge Reggiani) in this ice-cool noir from the great Jean-Pierre Melville. Fedoras, trench coats, dark alleys and jazz pervade this intricate crime drama, which features a virtuoso eight-minute interrogation scene -- done in a single take -- that was a highlight of Melville's remarkable career."

2012: Time for a Change
With many predicting doom for the planet in 2012, director Joao G. Amorim argues in this documentary that a global shift is indeed coming, but that people have the power to help the world change for the better.

Network
1976 R121 minutes
When network news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) loses his mind on the air, his outrageous rants reach viewers at home, boost the ratings and intrigue cutthroat network executives Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall. William Holden contrasts their avarice as an old-school TV journalist hopelessly out of step in writer Paddy Chayefsky's Oscar-winning masterpiece, which predicted today's rash of trash television and shock-laden news broadcasts.
*Still relevant in today's media and a good reminder to think beyond what is fed to us via mass media.

Not sure if it's on Netflix, but 'The Way' was an incredible movie, imo.
very much so. I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening hosted by both Sheen and Estevez... great watch.

if you want to lose faith in humanity, watch "Megan is Missing"
On your advice, I saw that one last night. I'm on a depraved movie kick, apparently. I liked it. I bought into the "true story" aspect of it for all of 5 minutes though. Should be required viewing for all young adults as the events depicted in this movie aren't that far fetched, unfortunately.

I read that book. highly enjoyable. Not sure I really could've followed it in movie form though... I did do a certain amount of re-reads to follow.
The movie is rather easy to follow.
Such a great reminder of how much energy our thoughts have.
