The Best Movies On Netflix Arriving In December 2016

• Hannibal: Though Critics didn’t like it, the majority of audiences did. Plus, Anthony Hopkins is always entertaining. The Washington Post describes one of the most popular movies coming to Netflix.

“Hopkins, who is electrifying in almost anything he does, reprises the mastery he brought to ‘Silence of the Lambs.’ Even in a movie as patchworky as this, he’s always compelling. He is completely in command of his presence, if that makes sense. He knows how to make the most of himself on screen…”

• The Little Rascals
• The Legend of Bagger Vance
• Picture Perfect
• Rainbow Time
• The Rock: In one of the best action movies of the 1990s, The Rock is a welcomed addition to Netflix. Plus, it’s a Nicolas Cage movie that’s actually good. And it co-stars Ed Harris and Sean Connery!

“Captain America: Civil War begins the next wave of Marvel movies with an action-packed superhero blockbuster boasting a decidedly non-cartoonish plot and the courage to explore thought-provoking themes.”
