I watch a lot of Netflix Instant movies. Or maybe I should say that I watch a little of a lot of Netflix Instant movies. As I have mentioned before, the only ones you hear about here are those that pass the five minute rule. If it doesn\u2019t catch my interest within that time I start looking for another.\u00a0 The picks I offer this month all passed the five minute test. They also all scored a 4\/5 or 5\/5 on my current excellence scale.\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at the suggestions:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bean: The Movie,<\/strong><\/a> 1997, 1 hr and 13 min.; Comedy; Rating: 4\/5<\/p>\n Mr. Bean is mistakenly taken for an art expert (he\u2019s really a museum guard and a poor one at that).\u00a0 He is assigned the task of accompanying Whistler\u2019s Mother to the US. Does everything go wrong? Yes. Is it a fun movie? Yes. Watch it purely for the laughs, a special kind of laughs that Atkinson is the master of.<\/p>\n Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Peter Macnico, John Mills<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Overnight<\/a>,<\/strong> 2012, 84 min; Romantic Comedy; Rating: 4\/5<\/p>\n Two neurotic strangers, man and woman, are forced to share adjacent seats on a long plane ride. Everything looks bad for any possible chance of romance and then it finally takes off. Other simultaneous storylines follow two men who fit everyone\u2019s terrorist profile, an obnoxious celebrity, and a pilot\/copilot team who are a truly poor match. This film has equal doses of fun and warmth.<\/p>\n Starring: Rachel Blanchard, James D\u2019Arcy, Anthony LaPaglia<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Jack Benny Show, 4 episodes<\/a>,<\/strong> 1950; TV comedy; Rating: 5\/5<\/p>\n I remember this show from when I was a kid (back in medieval times). I expected to find that the show was badly dated and unfunny. I thankfully discovered that I was way off the mark. I loved each of the episodes. This is truly funny stuff presented by a professional. Just as a final side note, I once met Jack Benny. He impressed me as one of the nicest persons I ever met. Ask me about him sometime.<\/p>\n Starring: Don Wilson, Eddie \u2018Rochester\u2019Anderson<\/a>, Dennis Day<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
