This list represents the best of Netflix’s movie offerings, and it starts with a new rotating critic’s pick of the week.Įven today, a quarter-century after its debut, the opening D-Day sequence of Saving Private Ryan looks singular: a masterclass of hand-held camerawork and chaotic editing that bring the terror and trauma of the Allied offensive on Nazi-controlled Europe to the screen. No algorithm nonsense here: Our picks represent the personal favorites of seasoned movie critics, and they’re updated every week and month to include or remove films that join or depart from the streaming service. With hundreds of films from around the world on the streaming giant that changed the game, how does one even know what to watch when they fire up their Netflix? Start here! We’ve gone through the many films available on the platform and pared down the selection to 30 must-see titles, including acclaimed dramas, action films, comedies, horror flicks, and even stuff for the whole family, with Netflix Originals peppered in throughout, alongside its licensed films.
*New additions are indicated with an asterisk. This post is updated regularly as movies leave and enter Netflix.
