Got Netflix? Like Video Games? Watch All Of These Things

Today I was scrolling through Netflix, planning what I may or may not watch over the weekend. Turns out there’s a lot. And a lot of things that are video game specific. If you have Netflix in Australia, and you like video games? You should watch all of these things.


Atari: Game Over


A nice, short documentary on ET and the video games crash that took place in the early 80s.


Need for Speed


Go on. You know you want to.


Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn


I watched the first 10 or so minutes of this. It wasn’t terrible.


Indie Game: The Movie


I liked this. A lot. Your mileage may vary.


The IT Crowd


The IT Crowd is the best. Best episode: The Work Outing.


Orphan Black


Not sure if there’s any real link to video games, I just want more people to watch Orphan Black.


Pokémon: Black & White


I have no idea if this is good. But it’s Pokemon, right? Right?


Tron: Legacy


Got some seriously mixed reviews, but it looks fantastic.


Escape from New York


It’s dated pretty terribly and Carpenter’s best movie is easily The Thing, but this is still cool.


Gravity


Gravity is probably the closest thing to a video game you’ll ever see in movie form.


The Raid 2


I actually haven’t seen the second one yet, but the first was off the charts.


Space Dive


This documentary is great and I’m always trying to get more people to watch it. Super intense. Super good.


Pacific Rim


Hard to argue with a giant robot using a train as a baseball bat. Dumb as a bag of hammers.


Dredd


Dredd is rad. Watch Dredd. It had no right to be good, and then it was good.


Did I miss anything? Any recommendations? Let me know in the comments below.
