It's almost the end of the year, which means soon we'll start seeing various tastemakers trotting out those traditional lists of the best music, books, and of course movies. But this year is better than usual—as it happens five of the best, most enjoyable movies of 2013 are newly available streaming on Netflix. We also picked some of the best films from past years, from 2009 all the way back to 1950, also new to Netflix. Of course, it's all a game, choices are personal, and opinions change over time. But for now, these 10 are a great start—see if any make your own best-of-all-time list.
Crystal Fairy
★★★☆☆
Former child actress Gaby Hoffmann (Field of Dreams) received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her performance as the title role in Crystal Fairy (2013). She plays a carefree, earthy hippie type who goes along on a road trip in South America. American Jamie (Michael Cera) wishes to find a certain cactus that contains mescaline and provides a special kind of drug trip. His guides are three local brothers (actually the three brothers of director Sebastián Silva), who eventually come to appreciate Crystal Fairy's honesty, even as they grow to disdain Jamie's eager, entitled behavior. The movie has a loose, summery rhythm in which the characters are allowed to make mistakes, explore, apologize, and come to life.
