The Accountant (2016)

• Runtime: 2 hours 8 minutes
• Directed by: Gavin O'Connor
• Rating: R

Ben Affleck's 2016 action thriller has seen quite the resurgence in popularity since being added to Netflix this month. The film quickly rocketed to the top of the Netflix Top 10 chart and that's good news for the series since a sequel is currently in development.

Affleck plays mathematics savant Christian Wolff who moonlights as a CPA while actually helping criminal organizations with their finances. When a Treasury agent (J.K.

Kill Bill (2003)

• Runtime: 1 hour 53 minutes
• Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
• Rating: R

Considered one of Quentin Tarantino's best movies and one of the all-time best action films, Kill Bill is an absolute must watch before you die kind of film. Even better is that Netflix put both Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2 on the platform, so you're all set for a marathon of Uma Thurman kicking butt.

Thurman plays a legendary assassin known as "The Bride" who wakes up from a coma four years after her jealous ex (David Carradine) attempted to have her murdered on her wedding day. The Bride is intent on getting revenge against Bill and every single person that had anything to do with the death of her unborn baby.
