This is a VERY LATE guest post by my friend Blair of Lovers of Weird! She wrote this wonderful guide to hidden Netflix gems months ago, but I am a forgetful person and am only just now getting around to posting it. Eeeeeek, sorry Blair! Enjoy, all!

Okay, so here goes. My name is Blair Casey, and I‘m a Netflix addict. 😉 Ok, that’s probably a bit of an exaggeration. But I’m openly obsessed with storytelling and spend a lot of time writing, reading and watching things. I especially like weird things. The strange, the foreign, the alien, the uncomfortable, the mind-bending, the galactic. Typically I find these types of stories the most beautiful. So in my quest to seek the best weird titles on Netflix, these were the gems I uncovered.
THE BEST OFFER *** (Solid)
At the center of this film is Virgil Oldman, a master auctioneer who floats among the wealthy, a private man who guards his pride and his company closely, always looking down his nose, assessing the value of things, selling them to the highest bidder.
Carried to fortune by his professionalism, reputation and taste, Virgil runs like clockwork until a fragile young heiress appears in his life. What begins as a glimpse through a keyhole becomes a whirlwind of romance and gears.
