As we all know, Netflix has become one of the world's biggest vaults for movies and TV shows that have become part of a person's life. From original returning shows to new releases, Netflix has got it going for you. Now if you have time, bored, have nothing else to do, here are 5 of the thousands of movies you should be streaming on that site right about now:

1.       Full Metal Jacket. Intense and darkly comic, Stanley Kubrick's take on the Vietnam war follows the life of smart-aleck Private Davis, christened as "Joker" by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant. Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist supposedly covering - and eventually participating in the Battle of Hue.

2.       The Shining. Another one of Stanley Kubrick's, The Shining will fulfil every horror fan's dream. Involving the art of cabin fever and some playful takes on blood and darkness, this movie is about Jack Torrance, who becomes the winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado. He settles along with his wife Wendy and son Danny, who, just like Jack, experienced a lot of psychic premonitions.

3.       Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Private eye Eddie Valiant gets hired by R.K. Maroon, a cartoon producer, to investigate an adultery scandal involving the iconic Jessica Rabbit.

4.       Pulp Fiction.  One of the world's favourite cult classic from Quentin Tarantino, Pulp Fiction is about two hit men Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, their gangster boss Marsellus and his wife Mia, struggling boxer Butch Coolidge, master fixer Winston Wolfe and a jumpy and nervous pair of robbers who go by the name of Honey Bunny and Pumpkin.

5.       Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Using his uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it, Ferris Bueller intends to make one last duck-out before graduation day.
