Get Your Matthew McConaughey Fix With These Netflix Picks — Including Magic Mike

03/10/2018 - 06:05 PM

Part of what makes Matthew McConaughey [1] such a great actor to watch is his ability to take on — and excel at — such a wide variety of roles. If you've ever questioned this, a look at his movies available on Netflix right now [2] should convince you otherwise. You can catch his Oscar-winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club and then move on to his charm and wit [3] in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days before capping off your marathon with his sick dance moves and endless abs [4] in Magic Mike. A bit of depth, am I right? For those three and three other options you can find on Netflix, just keep reading.

Dallas Buyers Club

After Ron Woodroof (McConaughey) finds out he has AIDS, he starts bringing experimental drugs across the border to not only stave off his impending death, but help other AIDS patients in need. He teams up with Rayon (Jared Leto [6]) to treat as many AIDS patients as they can.
