Netflix Instant Picks - 2/2/12

My main sources of movie watching are Netflix Instant, the library, and my own movie collection - in that order.  If you're looking for something worthwhile to watch on Netflix Instant, I'll start posting these short lists weekly with a variety of movies I'd recommend checking out.

• True Grit (2010) - Remake of the classic western. Nice update and more faithful to the book.
• Shaolin Soccer (2001) - A great Stephen Chow film. I loved the comedic action.
• That Thing You Do! (1996) - Great song, though you are a bit tired of it by the end.  Fun story.
• Forever Strong (2008) - Great inspirational sports story.  Breaks mold of other formulaic sports films.
• Calamity Jane (1953) - Fun musical/comedy/romance.  Get a little culture by watching this.
• Mao's Last Dancer (2009) - Great movie.  Mostly in English, but good anyways.  Amazing dance routines, moving story, and good history lesson (though not sure of accuracy).
