"Spring Forward"=Fantastic little indie film
Just saw it on Netflix instant view. Here's their description...
Spring Forward focuses on the friendship between two men who work for the parks department in a small New England town. His first day on the job, Paul (Liev Schreiber), a skittish ex-con looking for a second chance, is partnered with Murph (Ned Beatty), a grizzled veteran who's nearing retirement. The two seem to have little in common … but over the course of a year, shared confidences draw them closer together.

Great acting, subtle story. Very well done.

2. "Carol's Journey" is another good one I recently saw
On Instant view. Here's the write-up on it:
The Spanish Civil War unfolds through the eyes of a child in Imanol Uribe's sensitive coming-of-age drama. Uprooted from her home in New York, 12-year-old Carol (Clara Lago) travels to her mother's native village in Spain. Separated from her adored father, she struggles to adjust to her foreign new life. But through her relationships with her grandfather, a teacher and a local boy, she gains perspective on her situation in a nation divided.
