When I first noticed that movie on netflix I thought it was just another lame movie from the Nineties. It seems like I was wrong. I'll check it out sometime.

[The Good Citizen]

Title: The Man from Earth

(taken from Netflix)
Renowned sci-fi writer Jerome Bixby penned the script for this thought-provoking film starring David Lee Smith as John Oldman, a college professor who reveals to his colleagues that he's actually a centuries-old caveman...

I've seen this, its not really sci-fi but I found it intresting from the idea of a close nit group of friends where someone reveals something totally unbelievable. The fact that they have known him years and trust him and the divisions it causes amongst them was the angle of the movie really, but its worth a watch its a bit of a one off.

Genre: Independent Dramas
Title: Choking Man

(taken from IMDB)
The social anxiety of a morbidly shy Ecuadorian dishwasher working in a Queens diner provides the psychological engine that powers this blend of drama and magical realism.

Best of all it shows a General Electric three cubic foot mini-fridge with an imitation wood grain door.
