13. Dumplin' (Jennifer Aniston)

Jennifer Aniston's first ever Netflix movie made the affecting best of a familiar premise, revolving around an overweight girl, Dumplin' (Danielle Macdonald), who signs up for a beauty pageant run by her overbearing mother (Aniston) in an attempt to challenge superficial notions of beauty.

And while Dumplin' certainly touts the usual messages about true beauty being on the inside, it is all the same a well-acted, funny, and gently poignant film.

As the former beauty queen mother character, Aniston is perfectly cast and steals practically every scene she's in, though Danielle Macdonald is also rock solid as her screen daughter.

Not a great movie by any means, but a perfect vehicle for Netflix: easy to watch, well crafted, and best of all, "free" as part of your streaming dues.
