Not for the faint of heart – but for hardcore action fans, not to be missed either. And by "the consequences," I mean room after room of insane assassins waiting to be battled and henchmen waiting to get dispatched in viciously violent ways. "The Raid 2": Speaking of "The Raid" movies! Marvel at the merciless martial arts mayhem of this sequel, following the cop from the original film (which is also on Netflix and should be watched as well – in fact first!) as he faces the consequences from their original raid. "The Night Comes For Us": Do you like violent action movies? No, I mean VIOLENT action movies – violent enough that even the guy from the "Saw" films would be like, "Please, have you no decency?" Well, if you're a fan of stuff like "The Raid" movies, you'll love this viciously brutal actioner starring martial arts superstars Iwo Uwais and Joe Taslim – directed by Timo Tjahjanto, who'll helm the upcoming "Train to Busan" remake, so get pumped for that! It's the awesome launch pad with which the franchise truly blasted off. But what movie brought Tom Cruise and his star vehicle back to life? That'd be Brad Bird's "Ghost Protocol," full of insane stunts, visually mesmerizing setpieces and a fun spy caper. "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol": As I was saying. The "Mission Impossible" franchise is one of the best big-screen blockbusters we've got, with "Fallout" delivering as one of the best movies of its year, period. It may not be as blockbuster-y compared to where the series has gone, but it's still a terrifically tense and stylishly crafted (thanks Brian De Palma!) Hollywood creation. "Mission Impossible": Before the series became a thrilling stunt-a-palooza, the first "Mission Impossible" movie was an equally thrilling spy adventure, featuring Tom Cruise sneaking around high-security compounds to save the day. Firecracker action scenes, Mann's visceral thrills and a fully loaded cast from the stars to the supporting players make "Heat" a fire selection for your next stream. "Heat": Al Pacino and Robert De Niro shared the screen for the first time together in this vigorous crime classic directed by Michael Mann, following a gaggle of cops (led by Pacino) attempting to take down an elite gang of bank robbers (led by De Niro). It's lot of old classic genre fun mixed with new style and verve. "The Harder They Fall": Super stylish and slick, this all-Black Netflix Original Western is a good wild ride following outlaw leader Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) as he seeks out revenge against the sadistic gang leader Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) who murdered his family. Don't dread popping on "Dredd" for a fun weekend watch. "Dredd": A Judge Dredd movie? In 2012? Well that can't be a good idea – but it turns out "Dredd" rules, a gorgeously stylish brutal action blast following the famed helmet-wearing future judge as he tries to escape an apartment complex filled with bad guys. Watch it, sweat out an ocean from all the tension, marvel at Tom Hanks' performance – especially the final moments – and then write the Academy an angry letter for somehow not nominating him. "Captain Phillips": Paul Greengrass ("United 93," the latter Bourne movies) sets his masterfully jittery docu-drama lens on this pulse-racing true-story thriller about a boat captain attempting to get himself and his crew out of a hostage situation on the high seas. Go and stream away – you can get around to that to-do list tomorrow. So, to help make your nights in go as outstanding as possible, here's a list of 100 good movies – from awesome action flicks to cool choices for children to stellar sports stories and Will Ferrell singing to honor the great country of Iceland – you can currently find on Netflix. I'm not judging I'm doing the same thing as we speak. Staying at home? Sure, you could try to convince yourself that you're going to spend that time getting around to those cleaning projects you've been putting off or learning a new skill, but let's be honest: The reality is you're going to sit on the couch, snack away and stream something hopefully good.
