Before I Disappear (2014)
Hidden Gem
I stumbled on, "Before I Disappear," one late night while surfing through the seemingly endless titles offered by Netflix. The summary I skimmed piqued my interest and I am still in awe of how this comparatively low budget movie holds up. After multiple views, I cannot overstate how much I enjoy this film.
Really, it comes down to the relationship between the main character and his niece. Believable character and relationship development is one of the hardest aspects of a movie to do correctly. This is an excellent example of how to do the aforementioned with ease and grace.
The icing on the cake is the inclusion of a killer soundtrack including one of my favorite songs of all time: "Elephant," by Tame Impala.
My absolute favorite movie I have ever found on Netflix, and now that I have started talking about it, I have the urge to go watch it again.
