Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Robert De Niro and James Woods, this epic crime drama takes place in 1968 and tells the story through flashbacks of David "Noodles" Aaronson, an underground career criminal in the '20s. It's a long one, clocking in at just under four hours, but if you're going to watch this one, the "European cut" on Netflix is the way to go (rather than the shortened 139-minute "American cut" that has been critically panned).

If you want to see the film that launched filmmaker James Cameron's career (and solidified Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the greats), then you'll want to watch this sci-fi classic, which eventually led to an insanely popular franchise with four sequels. Schwarzenegger plays a cyborg assassin sent from 2029 back to 1984 to kill Sarah Conner before she can give birth to a future resistance leader, and it's a must-see if you want to know where everyone's fear of an AI takeover (and the catchphrase "I'll be back") originated.

Do yourself a favour and watch this flick before you binge watch the Spike Lee-produced Netflix original.

This 1988 cult classic is your typical high school mean-girl flick — well, except for the fact that new student J.D. is slowly killing off the girls he doesn't like.

You may not think baseball is all that sexy, but that's just because you haven't seen this underrated rom-com yet. Kevin Costner stars in the sports flick as "Crash" Davis, a veteran catcher who must train Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh (played by Tim Robbins) for the major leagues, and though baseball groupie (yes, that's a thing) Annie Savoy (played by Susan Sarandon) initially pursues Nuke, it isn't long before she finds herself feeling increasingly attracted to Crash.

The 2007 remake is also on Netflix, but be sure you watch the movie that started it all first.
