The instant question one might want to ask is “Who is watching the seventh and eighth ‘Sniper’ movies?” The answer is: your dad. Your friend’s dad. Your other friend’s dad. 

One might recall a time, just before the Streaming Wars — maybe around 2013 — when Netflix was little more than a delivery system for reruns of “The Office.” It was once less like a film studio and more like a rinky-dink local video store well-stocked with fluff and garbage. And it was good. There was something to be said for a fun, random streaming video store that, at the time, seemed to serve as an ever-growing online archive. This was before people noticed that films were rotating away from the service with alarming frequency. But it was a wonderful way to waste an afternoon, catch up on old TV, or give you and your date an excuse to engage in coitus while a film ran in the background (it was about this time that “Netflix and chill” entered the lexicon). 

As seen by their oddball top-10-rated films, occasionally, Netflix still lives up to its promise from a decade ago. Sometimes people want to tune into some easy-to-consume low-budget shlock. And for those with too much dignity to go digging through Tubi, Netflix is providing. 

Hence, five of the “Sniper” films are on Netflix right now. In addition to the two hits above, Netflix is also offering “Ghost Shooter,” “Rogue Mission,” and “G.R.I.T.” Curious souls who just learned about the 10 “Sniper” movies and wish to explore the series’ back half are well-covered.
