I have a recommedation for "Persuasion" from Netflix.
I think it's important to have some range when watching movies and there are few genres that I automatically exclude myself from watching. I go for sports, superheroes, sci-fi, adventure, westerns, military, survival, horror, coming-of-age, stupid comedies and the occasional British costume drama ala Jane Austen. I'm not sure why, but I'm really interested in Elizabethan times and the formal, sometimes bizarre, courtship rituals. I've never actually read Austen, but the movies made from her stuff tend to be really good. The dialogue is next-level stuff.
Anyhow, I found Persuasion to be laugh-out-loud funny and entertaining. The lead actress, Dakota Johnson (parents don johnson and melanie griffith) was superb. She often breaks down the 3rd wall and addresses the audience about her various dilemmas and I was smitten with her 10 minutes into the film. She is the total package. The film revolves around a star-crossed love and is a sort of costume rom-com that was influenced by Bridgerton via Sense and Sensibility and It's really well done.
