Let’s be honest—choosing a movie on Netflix can feel like being trapped in a maze. You’re trying to please everyone, avoid anything too boring or too weird, and hopefully land on something worth watching again. It’s a high-stakes game, especially when movie night rolls around and no one wants to be the one who picked a dud.
Fortunately, Netflix has been working behind the scenes to create a powerful slate of original movies—anything from action-packed thrill rides to animated escapades and everything in between. Whether you’re viewing alone, with loved ones, or your ride-or-die squad chat, here’s a countdown reverse of the 10 Netflix Original Movies to binge-watch—and yes, rewatch—today.
10. Do Revenge
Imagine teen revenge film meets candy-colored mayhem. Do Revenge elevates high school drama to an entirely new level, with Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke partnering up for a depraved story of revenge. It’s clever, daring, and teeming with sly references to the teen staples that preceded it. People call it a Gen Z version of Heathers served with a pastel aesthetic. It’s intelligent, witty, and one of those films you’ll pick up something new from every time you watch it again.
9. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
It’s a job perfectly suited for the Coen Brothers to make the Old West a dreamlike, frequently laugh-out-loud short-story anthology. Buster Scruggs is six mini-movies in one, each strange and wonderful in a different way. From a cowboy crooning to a gold prospector, the tales are bizarre, dark, and completely habit-forming. Collider criticizes that the movie’s rewatch value is in its design—ideal for jumping around to your favorite scenes or watching a different segment per evening.
8. The Sea Beast
This animated oceanic adventure has it all: monsters, pirates, sweet friendships, and a greater message regarding fear and misinformation. The Sea Beast is beautifully animated and quietly contemplative, with just a bit of swashbuckling action to keep things going. Netflix Tudum describes it as one of the platform’s top animated films, and it’s not hard to understand why. It’s a people-pleaser that’ll keep kids and adults alike stuck to the screen.
7. Enola Holmes & Enola Holmes 2
Sherlock is the more famous sibling, but Enola is by far the most enjoyable to watch. Perfectly played by Millie Bobby Brown, Enola is intelligent, defiant, and has a boundless energy—and both of her Netflix movies are filled with mystery, action, and just the right level of heart. Audiences admired the movies for their mix of brains and charm, and actually? They’re the type of feel-good, watch-again-and-again movies that transform a Tuesday night at random into an occasion.
6. Extraction & Extraction 2
Explosions are sometimes just what you need. And Chris Hemsworth. Extraction delivers in both departments, with breakneck action sequences and a plot that never slows down. The sequel, Extraction 2, somehow does it even tougher—with more explosive stunts, tighter plot, and more emotional depth. What’s on Netflix describes it as the greatest franchise Netflix has ever whipped up, and they’re not far off. If you require a film that gets your blood pumping (and is simply stunning on a large screen), add these to your watchlist.
5. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Rian Johnson’s Knives Out follow-up whisks murder-mystery mayhem to an overseas destination—and maintains the guffaws and surprises at breakneck speed. Daniel Craig reprises his role as detective Benoit Blanc, this time solving mysteries among a cast of tech bros and influencers. Packed with a cast of characters and relentlessly clever plot twists, Glass Onion is the sort of film that almost demands a second (or third) viewing. What’s on Netflix describes it as wildly entertaining—and they’re not wrong.
4. Nimona
This one’s a complete gem. Based on the classic graphic novel, Nimona is a fearless, beautifully animated tale combining medieval fantasy and sci-fi panache. At its core is Nimona, a shapeshifting outlaw who joins forces with a fallen knight to battle an oppressive empire. Collider commended it for its breathtaking visuals and considered approach to identity and acceptance. It’s exciting, fearless, and completely unlike anything else currently in the animation world.
3. Don’t Look Up
Don’t Look Up is part disaster movie, part biting satire—and fully chaotic. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence play scientists trying to warn the world about a comet headed for Earth, only to be ignored by a fame-obsessed, clueless society. It’s hilarious, painful, and scarily on point. Collider highlights how much the movie rewards repeat viewings—especially once you’ve sat with that ending for a bit. Expect to laugh, squirm, and think a little too hard about real life.
2. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before
The teen rom-com revival we didn’t even know we needed. To All the Boys introduced us to Lana Condor and Noah Centineo in a romance all about awkward moments, swoony stares, and sweet charm. It’s the kind of film that makes you want to believe in crushes again—despite you being years out of high school. Collider deems it one of Netflix’s favorite rom-coms, and its rewatch value is sky-high. It’s feel-good, fuzzy, and all heart.
1. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
Yes, the claymation legends are returning—and yes, it’s wonderful. Vengeance Most Fowl brings back the legendary duo (and a certain penguin baddie) in a story that’s nostalgic and entirely new. With Aardman’s trademark humor, delightful animation, and full of Easter eggs, it’s sheer bliss for old fans and newbies alike. What’s on Netflix praised its witty storytelling and universal appeal—and truly, it’s not possible to top a film that suits everybody in the room.
Of course, Netflix has even more treasures waiting in the wings of its catalog—Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness, Rescued by Ruby, and other forgotten favorites are just a scroll away. But if you’re looking for sure-fire winners for your next night out with the movies, these 10 are where to begin. No more debate about what to watch. Just press play and enjoy.
