10 Things You Should Be Watching On Netflix

Spaceballs If you like Star Wars, you’ll love Spaceballs (if you haven’t already seen it). The Star Wars spoof stars Bill Pullman as Captain Lone Starr, a spoof of Han Solo, as he and his trusted companion, Barf (John Candy), save Princess Vespa from the comically evil Lord Dark Helmet. May the Schwartz be with you.MGM

Top Gear UK Despite being a show about cars, Top Gear UK is more about the humorous interactions between its trio of hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, than it is about the vehicles that they are ostensibly reviewing. The 19 seasons on Netflix seem rather intimidating, so we suggest starting out with their specials, like their East Coast Road Trip in Season 15, just to get a sample for the hilarity that awaits you.
