List #1: 10 Movies You Can Watch Instantly on Netflix This Weekend

It's a long weekend in the U.S. Why not skip the icky, sticky, sweaty outdoors and stay in watching movies instead?

Here's a start:

1. Brick (Rec. #62): High school noir at its high school noir-iest.

2. Charade (Rec. #97): Audrey Hepburn runs around Paris with Cary Grant, chased by baddies.

3. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Rec. #90): Not technically a movie, but it'll do.

4. Family Plot (Rec. #120): Alfred Hitchcock's final film.

5. Happy Accidents (Rec. #59): Marisa Tomei wonders whether Vincent D'Onofrio is crazy.

6. Harold and Maude (Rec. #45): Maybe one of the best love stories ever, with a quirky, happy/morbid vibe and some great suicide gags.

7. The Hudsucker Proxy (Rec. #106): The Coen brothers do Frank Capra/Billy Wilder.

8. The Lady Eve (Rec. #129): Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda in a Preston Sturges farce.

9. The Palm Beach Story (Rec. #17): Screwball comedy with Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, and the Wienie King.

10. Party Girl (Rec. #141): Parker Posey as a club kid/library clerk.
