February! It’s the shortest month, which means you have the critical responsibility to squeeze even more hours of streaming content into your daily routine. The good news is, Netflix can help. This month, the world’s Streaming King is bringing a whole new slate of goodies into your household. Along with a much-anticipated Full House reboot, we’ve got one of the great satirical war films of all time, an overlooked coming-of-age classic, one of the best documentaries of the decade, and a stand-up special from one of Paste’s favorite comedians.
Check out our featured recommendations, and read below for the full list of this month’s new offerings. Happy Leap Year!
Full Metal Jacket
Year: 1987
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Available: Feb. 1
Before filling out, rather unfortunately, before our eyes on Law & Order: Criminal Minds, Vincent D’Onofrio piled on 70 lbs. for his role as Pvt. “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence before demonstrating exactly what was his Major Malfunction was to R. Lee Ermey’s Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. Stanley Kubrick’s film is a meat grinder of a reflection on the myriad horrible choices confronted in war. Along with providing an apex for Matthew Modine’s career, it also makes its case for being one of the best war movies ever made .—Scott Wold
Dope
Year: 2015
Director: Rick Famuyiwa
Available: Feb. 10
At its core, Dope is a coming-of-age story told from the black geek perspective. Malcolm (Shameik Moore) is a brainy high school student who’s trying to leave “The Bottoms” of Inglewood, California. This isn’t a straight-up, feel-good comedy—drugs and gangs aren’t easy comic fodder—but Dope satirizes preconceived notions of race and culture. Famuyiwa keeps things entertaining while still posing hard-hitting questions to the characters and audience. Dope’s infectious energy, and Famuyiwa’s tendency to throw genre and stereotypes to the wind, is refreshing. Dope is dope. —Christine N. Ziemba
Comedy Camisado
Year: 2016
Director: Hannibal Buress
Available: Feb. 5
Somehow, between Broad City, The Eric Andre Show, his own Comedy Central show and various movie roles (dude steals Daddy’s Home), Hannibal Buress still finds time for stand-up. His latest special Comedy Camisado hits Netflix the first Friday in February, and despite his ever-increasing fame he still has the same low-key charm that made you dig him in the first place. As funny as Buress is on the screen, he’s at his best on stage, and if Comedy Camisado is anything like his previous specials, it’ll be one of the best of the year.—Garrett Martin
Finding Vivian Maier
Year: 2013
Director: John Maloof & Charlie Siskel
Available: Feb. 27
When Vivian Maier died at the age of 83 in the spring of 2009, those who had known the woman remembered her as a nanny with a humorously stiff gait and a penchant for taking photographs. Since Maier’s death, her narrative has been radically rewritten, her striking street photography celebrated in exhibitions from Los Angeles to London. That such a private, peculiar woman could retroactively be recognized as one of the best photographers of the last 50 years is a testament to the untold great art being made under our collective nose.—Tim Grierson
