Disclosure: I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post.Â
I only recently realised what a fan of Simon Pegg I really am. Four of the six of these movies I only found out that he’d done thanks to Netflix. I can’t pick a favorite but really enjoyed watching all of them. This list is a mix of adventure, hilariousness, seriousness, soul searching and a bit of violence. Don’t watch these with the kids around, but make sure to enjoy them:
