Our movie highlight of the day and possibly the best new movie to hit Netflix this week is Public Enemies from over a decade ago.

The star-studded historical drama takes us back to the 1930s where gangs reign supreme and we follow the most notorious ones of them all.

Nominated for two Oscars is the 2006 movie that looked back on the true events of September 11th and provides a real-time account of the flight that United 93 took.

It was a timely movie and still hurts to watch to this day. It received excellent reviews and is available to watch again on Netflix today.
